Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Take a short hike to Cascade Canyon Trail and then ride a boat across the like to sneak a peek at Hidden Falls. A relatively easy outdoor adventure for people of all ages, you are sure to enjoy the peaceful stroll and hidden beauty beyond the lake.

  2. Step 2

    Experience the solitude, greenery and of course the wildlife as you hike along Signal Mountain Summit Trail. For those who prefer a more relaxed view of the wildlife, you can see just as many cool things from the comfort of your car, driving to the summit for the spectacular view.

  3. Step 3

    Get a full day's hike to see the lakes or even camp along the Cascade Canyon Loop, one of the most popular trails in all of Grand Teton. Along this trail you can enjoy sites such as Jenny Lake, Lake Solitude, Paintbrush Divide and Holly Lake as you make your way to the top. From the peak, you'll enjoy a view of Jackson Hole and Leigh Lake.

  4. Step 4

    Look up, as the sky above the park is filled with a number of winged creatures, such as hawks, ospreys, owls, falcon and even bald eagles. One of the greatest places in the park to watch birds is Oxbow Bend, an overlook and picnic area where you can look to the skies as you soak up the sun.

  5. Step 5

    Enjoy camping, hiking and peaceful meditation, keeping your eyes peeled to see cool things, such as vast wildlife, during your Grand Teton tour. Some amazing animals you are likely to see include bighorn sheep, wolves, bears, moose and even bison.
