Jenny Lake Overlook

Introduction

Jenny Lake Overlook in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, is one of the finest vantage points for the classic reflection of Jenny Lake with the Teton Range rising above. The glacial lake is deep blue and faces the mouth of Cascade Canyon, with the jagged Teton peaks soaring like a stone wall, the most recognizable postcard view in the park. The overlook sits at the lakeshore, where visitors can park, stroll the lake trail, or take the shuttle boat across to reach Inspiration Point and Hidden Falls. At dawn the lake lies mirror-still with crisp peak reflections, while afternoon often brings bald eagles overhead and moose or river otters along the shore. The site also serves as a base for climbers heading up Teewinot and Disappointment Peak, making it the central hub for experiencing Grand Teton's lakes and mountains and a must-stop on the park's south loop drive.
