Jenny Lake Overlook Details
Jenny Lake Lookout has views across the lake to the Grand Tetons. Early mornings, when the lake is calm, the reflection of the mountain is stunning. The overlook sits on a natural dam created by a glacier that once filled Cascade Canyon; the piled debris was left when the glacier receded, and the melting ice created Jenny Lake.
