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!

The cabin also has a wet bar with cafe machine, well stocked with capsule coffee, hot chocolate and tea. The room itself is within the forest and well shaded. Coming from Hawaii, it is cold for us at its summer nights when the temperature gets into the 50's. But heater is available in the room. The surround forest is beautiful and tranquil. On our daily short walks to the dining room, we were awarded with the fragrant fresh pine tree forest smell, the beautiful view of the Grand Teton Mountain range, and a well designed delicious 5-course meal. The booking includes free breakfast and free dinner. It also includes horse riding around the Jenny lake, free use of the well maintained beach cruisers. The cabin we are in has a wall that is shared by a neighbor. But there are more expensive individuel cabins that are not shared. The location is ideal as it is a short bike ride to the Jenny Lake Visiter Center, it also offers the best wide and well maintained bike route, separate from cars. It is also close the famous hike to Inspiration Point and many more trails. In the end, this was the highlight of our trip. Very expensive, but it you can afford it, go for it!

There's a lot of stuff that you can do at the lake, not just visiting the visitor center, snack and gift shop. A lot of people will swim or kayak, or just go for hikes around the lake itself including some of the trails that circle the lake and go behind it up towared Cascade Canyon or to Hidden Falls, which is absolutely stunning. On a pretty day, if you're doing the hike up to Cascade Canyon/Hidden Lake, you get the most incredible panoramic view over the lake and the surrounding area with the Tetons behind you along that hike. There's a stopping point called Inspiration Point where a lot of people were hanging out and taking pictures while I was going up there that overlooks the lake, and honestly is one of the most stunning spots I have ever seen -- definitely no doubt one of the most beautiful spots in the entire park. I think that you can't come to Grand Teton National Park and not visit Jenny Lake. If you've already been before that's one thing, but if you've never had a chance to see it yourself, you really should come by. There are also several informational plaques around the lake near the lot/visitor center that tell you about the history of the area including the native tribes, and tell you about Jenny who was part of one of the native tribes and whom the lake is named after.

Lake Creek flows out of Phelps Lake and is a short walk from the visitor center. The visitor center ended up being closed when I arrived. It is in a wood building and offers ranger-led programs, trail information, weather, and information on Mr. Rockefeller's vision for the Preserve.

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.

My group stopped at the top and ate lunch on some rocks under a tree. There are so many chipmunks looking for food, and they look like they get it. You can take the ferry to the beginning of this hike to make it easier. The walk down is a little rough on the knees. Still loved it!

What I think is nice is that the view is not just of the park and all the distant rolling hills, but also Jenny lake itself, which is unique to this area.

If you're going to do the hike up to hidden Falls, this is basically on the way so you should stop and take a picture or sit for a while. It's definitely worth the time to go out of your way for this!
