Jenny Lake Loop Details
Hikers follow a gently rolling trail which skirts the lake shore and offers many viewpoints when not in forested sections. Some open areas you'll pass through were cleared by forest fires. Although the terrain is forgiving, this is a long-ish hike. As you loop around Jenny Lake you will come to the West Boat Dock and will have the option of detouring to Inspiration Point and/or Hidden Falls.
