Beautiful waterfalls and well maintained hikes. Lots of fall foliage to view in the autumn. Summer is a great time to visit as well.
This National Forest is just outside of Yellowstone and Grand Teton. It's one of the nicer areas to stay when the national parks get full. The Rangers here are very knowledgeable and will tell you honestly about how things work in the park. Would much rather go to a national forest instead of a national park after this experience
Beautiful place more accessible than Yellowstone Park and it seems a little more natural. Yellowstone seems artificial at times and the Rangers are hyper-vigilant and overbearing in Yellowstone. The only place we saw a moose on this trip to the area. we were in Yellowstone for 4 days and saw wolves elk bison but moose we saw one the whole trip and that was on the Snake River in Bridger.
A remarkable place to see while out west!! So many nice places to spend quiet and peaceful time. We saw lots of wildlife - Black Bear, Moose, Deer, Fox, and multiple birds to name a few. Also the area itself is one of the prettiest out there in my opinion. Enjoy it!!!
We took a trail around Jenny lake. First 2/3rd is a very easy hike (~5miles). After reaching hidden falls, half of our group went back on cruise and other half hiked back. This was a moderate trail (~2.2 miles) and we met just one other person in this trail. So it was little scary at times since we were still on the trail even at 7.30-8.00 in the evening. Other than that it was a refreshing trip 🙂
Got married there on 9/07 at the Wedding Tree. We even had a permit to be there and there were two tents at the site of my wedding. We moved slightly and carried on. It was beautiful but we had hoped for the Tree's specific beauty and backdrop. The forest is beautiful.
Just a warning to those with wedding plans and a permitmight not matter, so be prepared for plan B!
Drop dead gorgeous mountains! Awe inspiring. One of the most beautiful places on earth. So many trails - they're any where from easy to extremely difficult.
We stayed in this National Forest to watch the eclipse. We lucked out and were near a campground so that we had access to a bathroom. Being out in nature was relaxing even with the eclipse crowds. Very pretty area.
One of the most beautiful places on Earth. I would compare them to the Swiss Alps. Close to Jackson Hole which is a pretty nice city. Nice small towns right around Jenny Lake Area itself. Every time we go here we almost always run into Wildlife you don't see everyday
Great atmosphere all-year-round.

Plenty trails to hike while enjoying amazing views.
Favorite vacation spot. Cabins at Colter Bay
Very cool scenery, we spent a week backpacking and would totally recommend it!
Gearing up and ready for a trip in 2016.
Not as crowded. Great hiking trails for the whole family. Views that are breathtaking and chances ot see wild life pretty close up. Would highly recommend for families to go to over yellowstone national park.
