Inspiration Point and Hidden Falls

The route to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point begins on paved trail. This crosses a bridge at the Jenny Lake boat dock, and then into the woods. The trail is mostly flat, with the occasional uphill. The trail soon emerges out of the woods, skirting Jenny Lake offering scenic views of the lake most of the way. Once the trail enters back into the woods, look for a trail junction sign for Hidden Falls. Take a left here and follow the beaten trail along Cascade Creek. Just before the sturdy bridge that crosses Cascade Creek, take the trail that spurs left. Here you'll experience the view and spray of Hidden Falls. Continue across the bridge and up the switchbacks to Inspiration Point.If you continue hiking on the trail after Inspiration Point, Cascade Canyon will open around you and fantastic views of Teewinot and Mt. Owen will appear. If not interested in continuing up the canyon, reverse your course back to the trailhead or take the boat shuttle back.
