Our Itinerary:
Day 1 - #hermitagepoint
The hike to Hermitage Point is a wonderful start to your Grand Tetons experience! The hike itself is pretty long - just under 10 miles - but it is along the lake for pretty much the entire time, so there is not much in terms of elevation change. It feels like an easy walk, only the walk has some of the best views this planet has to offer! And Hermitage Point itself is...WOW! The point sticks out into Jackson Lake in a way that gives an absolutely wonderful panorama view of the Teton Mountain range.
Day 2 - #grandviewpoint to #twooceanlake and #emmamatildalake
This hike is a bit more challenging, but also more rewarding than the hike to Hermitage Point. The hike we describe is not one single named trail in Grand Tetons, but is the combination of parts of 3 separate trails. However, when you combine the trails as we did, the reward is 3 separate STUNNING sites all achieved by hiking less than 10 miles! If you did all 3 trails separately, you could do 20 miles EASILY! Our way is much better, in our opinion...
Day 3 - #signalmountain
The Signal Mountain hike is basically a 'must' for anyone visiting Grand Teton National Park. The hike offers an absolutely beautiful panorama view at the apex, but along the way is so much wildlife activity on a beautiful forest trail. The hike is moderately challenging, but is more than worth it at the top. Note that you can drive to the top of Signal Mountain if you'd like, however the hike is MUCH more rewarding if you are asking us...
Day 4 - #jennylake Loop
Jenny Lake is a stunning lake that is basically shaped like an ablong circle, making it perfect for a walk around the lake. The hike itself is over 7 miles, however there is not much in terms of elevation gain - after all, you are just taking a lap around the lake! On the opposite side of the lake, you'll be able to see Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point, two incredible sites that are 'musts' on your visit to the Grand Tetons!
Day 5 - #stringlake Loop & #taggartlake Loop with a #bradleylake Detour!
This day was our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE day hiking in Grand Teton National Park (and maybe ever!). The day started out with String Lake, which has a perfectly reflective stillness that DOUBLED the view of the mountains. After that, we went to explore Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake, each absolutely STUNNING in their own right. The 3 lakes we hiked to on Day 5 will always stick out as a special day for us, and one of the most beautiful days we've ever experienced while hiking National Parks.
Day 6 - Bradley Lake and #garnetcanyon
Garnet Canyon is a wonderful hike, and is often used by hikers that are doing multiple days in the Tetons backcountry. The Garnet Canyon hike itself is wonderfully gorgeous, and offers a great view of the same Bradley Lake we hiked to the previous day!
Day 7 - #deathcanyon to Patrol Cabin
The Patrol Cabin is SUPER cool, and very interesting to think about when it was in use. A person was living in this cabin, patrolling the surrounding area, with essentially no contact with the outside world for DAYS at a time. What a TRIPPY experience that is for us to think about in present day!

Grand Teton National Park - Park Travel Review
We had four days in Grand Teton National Park. We camped in our Forest River A-Frame travel trailer we call Alf. We got an electric site in Gros Ventre Campground. It was a nice campground with flush toilets, but no shower houses. Sites are on a first come; first served basis. The campground is large and rarely is completely full.
Our first full day, we visited Jackson Lake Lodge, hike at Two Oceans Lake and Leigh Lake. From the NPS Site: The Jackson Lake Lodge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as an historic district in 2002 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.
We had a great time hike and exploring in Grand Teton National Park.

“The mountains are calling and I must go …”
John Muir
I received a package from ZEISS that contained several lenses from the wonderful Milvus family and was asked to put them to the test. Included in the box was the Milvus 2.8/15 and Milvus 2/135 lenses. Looking at my reflection in the glass as I inspected them I was suddenly inspired by a quote by John Muir, who has inspired so much of my work, and I knew where these lenses needed to be tested. And just like that, after a few phone calls and a car packed with jerky, energy drinks and a ton of photo/video equipment I was on my way.
2:00 am, the next morning
Driving through the night I arrived in Grand Teton National Park in the darkness and setup basecamp in an area on the banks of Jackson Lake in Wyoming. Signs were posted everywhere warning about bears and noting a recent bear encounter in the area which made setting up alone in the dark a little tense. As I settled into the tent shadows of pine trees crept across the nylon dome illuminated by the approach of headlights. My lifelong friend and fellow nature photographer/videographer Ben arrived, also driving through the night from Boise to join in on this lens testing adventure.

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
This is part of our 2018 roadtrip from Denver to Seattle.
In this episode we visit Grand Tetons National Park.
We did some amazing hike to moose ponds (no moose overthere) and walk around Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. From there we took the shuttle boat back. On our way back we saw a big bull moose on the banks of Lake Jenny.
Our second hike in Tetons was the Heron Pond and Swan Lake loop with 2 beautiful lakes. On this hike we had a close bear encounter. A mama black bear with 2 (or 3) cubs. We kept a safe distance!

Grand Teton National Park - Full Tour (2018)
Grand Teton National Park is an American national park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. Grand Teton National Park is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding national forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the world's largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems.
Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first white explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s.
Efforts to preserve the region as a national park began in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the Teton Range's major peaks. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any American national park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years.
Grand Teton National Park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found there. More than 1,000 species of vascular plants, dozens of species of mammals, 300 species of birds, more than a dozen fish species and a few species of reptiles and amphibians inhabit the park. Due to various changes in the ecosystem, some of them human-induced, efforts have been made to provide enhanced protection to some species of native fish and the increasingly threatened whitebark pine.
Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, fishing and other forms of recreation. There are more than 1,000 drive-in campsites and over 200 miles (320 km) of hiking trails that provide access to backcountry camping areas. Noted for world-renowned trout fishing, the park is one of the few places to catch Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Grand Teton has several National Park Service-run visitor centers, and privately operated concessions for motels, lodges, gas stations and marinas.
