The naming of the mountains is said to be from early 19th Century French-speaking trappers, who called them Les Trois Tetons (the Tree Teats) which was later shortened to Tetons.
Jenny Lake: Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point Hike
Exploring Jenny Lake is one of the best things to do in Grand Teton National Park and a highlight of any day trip to Grand Tetons, and it could easily take up your entire day.
The boat takes about 15-minutes and offers spectacular views and guided commentary along the way. It’s a great way to learn more about the lake and Grand Tetons.
Along this trail, you’ll have views of the Cathedral Group, which is Teewinot Moutnain, Grand Teton and Mount Owen and spectacular views out over Jenny Lake across to the Gros Ventre Mountains.
We’re so glad we did not skip Moose Pond, because as the name suggests, and from the many tips we received as it being one of the best things to do in Grand Teton National Park, we did see moose!
