Cascade Canyon Details

West of Jenny Lake. Look for, but do not feed, golden-mantled ground squirrels at Inspiration Point. Pikas and yellow-bellied marmots live in scattered boulder fields. Mule deer and moose browse on shrubs growing at the mouth of the canyon. Listen for the numerous songbirds that nest in the canyon. Habituated animals such as ground squirrels often beg for food. Feeding human food to animals increases dependency on unnatural food sources. Do not let animals bite you; they may carry diseases such as rabies.
