Bring your parking pass if you have it otherwise there will be a charge just to access the area. Once you arrive at the boat landing, parking is free. From there you can either hike a portion of the lake and take the boat back, simply do a hike, or take a boat ride/hike, or just ride the boat! There is a charge for riding the boat with discounts available for kids and seniors. There are only facilities at the boat landing and once you leave you're on your own! You're constantly reminded that you are in bear country so bring some spray, bug repellent, sunscreen, plenty of water and snacks, as there are no amenities in the wilderness areas. Hikes and climbing opportunities exist however, for the more advanced area permits may be required so check before you leave with Park Rangers. We were very happy to have started early as when we returned by noon the landing was exceptionally crowded, and parking was nonexistent. There is shopping, some concessions, and beautiful area to explore just around the boat landing area. This is a fantastic stop, but again emphasize. Be here early!

I went on a random…read moreday at the end of may and there was still a lot of packed snow at the final 1/8th or so of the trail, and I didn't have chains/spikes or trekking poles. I almost never turn around on hikes but this was one that I did - it was very difficult to navigate the trail (you couldn't see the ground at all) and it was VERY steep. I was alone and afraid if I fell it would be very bad news, and I wouldn't get help at least right then. Some folks did go past me and made it; they told me on the way down that it was beautiful and you can get right up next to the water! I'm sure that's true per the pics. Along the way, the trail was well kept and had a beautiful view over some of the other lakes. There was lots of wildlife; spotted a bear and her cub at one point. Overall just super beautiful, peaceful, and not overrun with folks since it's a harder trail than the most popular ones in the Jenny lake area. Definitely recommend to at least attempt this one! Of note there is a NP bathroom at the trailhead but no running water. I came around 8a and there was plenty of parking in the gravel lot but on my way out around 12p, it was full and cars were parking along the dirt road to enter the trailhead area.

On 06/16/2025, I hiked the MOST INTENSE hike. My friend and I started at 10 AM and didn't finish…read moreuntil 9 PM. We hiked from Taggart trailhead to Taggart Lake, then off to Bradley Lake. After those two hikes onto Delta Lake. We hiked a total of 15 miles at 9,000 ft of elevation. I frequently hike, but in no way have I ever trained to hike at any kind of elevation. I knew my limits, but boy were they pressed on this hike. On the trail going up, I saw elk and marmots around. Its better to hike with a group of two or more and someone you trust, don't be like me and hike with someone who can care less than you and constantly left me to solo hike on unfamiliar territory. The trail after Bradley Lake is a continuous incline, so take plenty of water and rest breaks. I had to take plenty of breaks and am a slow hiker. Whether you read it on Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or All Trails, the last 3 miles up is torturously difficult. It is constant rocky with huge boulders that you have to cross by crawling. Here at this point, your trekking poles are useless. In June, some of the trail was still covered with snow. Quite challenging for someone who isn't used to walking in snow; the snow was semi-hard, but soft in parts so I fell a couple of times. To get to the top after the boulders, there's a deep ascend upwards that crawling is the only option and you gotta be careful not to fall backwards. At this moment, I was 3 minutes in and wanted to give up! My friend had already left me behind, I was pissed off at her, and mad at myself for putting myself through this hike. Until, a family coming down gave me some serious encouragement to continue on. Shout out to that beautiful family! Y'all, a real one!! Whew!! I was exhausted once I crossed my final hill to see Delta Lake. It was indeed beautiful and is worth it! The water was crystal turquoise blue (naturally), it was hypothermia cold, but the snow capped mountain tops were a stunner to view. It was so picturesque and all I wanted was to rest. However, I didn't get to because two people were in my ear about, "can you take my picture?" at every single moment and angle. It was so annoying. My friend and I stayed about 15 minutes at the lake before we started our trek back. Now, that was problematic because we were racing to get back before nightfall and since we weren't smart enough to start at Delta Lake trailhead, the hike took longer, we wasted time a lot of time hiking, so by the time we were heading back it was 6pm in the evening. Luckily, it gets completely dark after 9pm. On the way back, it was a descend hike down the mountain, so our pace was slightly increased, but we had to be very careful because on the trail, we spotted a moose. He wouldn't move and was minding his own business. His partner was on the side, then ran when it saw our presence. Eventually, the moose scurried away in the forest. We continued to hike and was faced with a grizzly bear off the path, but was in close proximity. I was horrified and quickly grabbed my bear spray ready to shoot. My friend told me to just run across. I thought that was stupid of her to tell me to risk my life of being eaten so she can live free. Mercifully, the bear continued to eat grass and walked further into the forest. At that point, I was terrified of being with this so-called friend, out in bear country, and by 7:00 PM, we were STILL hiking. I started to panic and begged this chick (that I was with) to call park rangers. Her iPhone had died, so no access to maps, but thankfully my Android still had sufficient battery lasting through the end. She continued to say we didn't need to, but at last she did (after I begged her to) call 911 for rescue. We hiked an additional 4 miles. I was EXTREMELY tired!!! My legs were jello and I was out of breath, but couldn't stop. By that time, my mum called me since I never told her I was safe back at the hostel. A mother's instinct, she knew something was wrong. So she called the park rangers too and then they came, met up with us, and walked us then drove us to the Taggart Lake trailhead where we had parked. The following day, I was too tired to move or walk. I must add, this isn't a small kid friendly hike. I saw noone hiking with tiny kids. My advice to anyone looking to dare hike this trail: *Hike from the Delta Lake trailhead *Bring a trusted friend who actually cares about your wellness and well-being to wait on you and not mock you for hiking pace. *Start early *Train to hike at an elevation and don't cold turkey wing it especially if you're a Southeast Texan *Trekking poles are needed *Know your limits (coincides with the friend note) *Wear comfortable hiking shoes with supportive grip. *Have fun in a safe way

One of the nice things about this visitor center is that there are clean bathrooms with running water, food, options, and gift stores. The lake itself is absolutely stunning, and you have two options to get to hidden Falls - you can either do the actual trail, which takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, or you can take the ferry shuttle across the lake ($20 I think), which cuts your trip down by a solid mile or two. In fact, it ends up only taking maybe 15 to 20 minutes of an uphill walk to get to hidden Falls from where the ferry dock is after you ride it. Honestly, though, I think that the hike itself is absolutely worth it because the views around the lake itself are absolutely stunning! I think if you only do one hike in Grand Teton National Park, this should be it.

There was rain and wind on the first third or so of it, which got worse before it got better. By the time I got to the last fourth or fifth of the trail before reaching the actual lake, it became very cool, gray, and very rainy. Thankfully it hadn't been raining long so it wasn't too muddy but it clearly can get that way, especially along the short descent down the hill with a couple switchbacks just before you get to the lake. When I actually got to the lake, it was full on raining and even sleeting a bit. I took some pictures with my raincoat on, and it was still really cool in a moody way, but it was very wet. By the time I got about two thirds of the way back to the trailhead, it cleared all the way up and became quite sunny. By the time I got back to my car at the trailhead parking lot, there was no rain, no clouds in the sky except over the tetons in the far distance, and it was fairly warm. Overall, it was a beautiful trail both going there and coming back so no regrets, but do come prepared!

Great, easy (for most) hiking trails in the park…read more Your choice but you can do the loop or go up and back. Choose your poison. When looking at the Tetons, if you choose the route to the left, much steeper on the way to the lake than the route from the right. Neither is wrong. Beautiful hike, terrain, and views. We happened to hike after recent storms so some parts of the path were puddled with water. Made it fun with either walking through or around. All fun. Relatively easy hike but incredible so don't miss. The water in the lake is so clear and beautiful it makes you want to jump in but you know it's colder than a witches tit!
