Cascade Canyon - Moose Wyoming Hikes

A classic hike into the main canyon below Grand Teton. The mouth of Cascade Canyon around Hidden Falls is perhaps the most heavily used spot in Grand Teton National Park. Thousands of park visitors take the scenic boat ride across Jenny Lake and mill around the falls and Inspiration Point for a while and then return. The area shows the wear and tear of this heavy use. But there’s a reason for the heavy use. The falls are spectacular, and you definitely can get inspired from Inspiration Point. Most visitors to Hidden Falls do not take the scenic hike up Cascade Canyon, so once you’ve gone past Inspiration Point, the traffic thins out dramatically.
