Marion Lake Details
This hike begins at the top of the Aerial Tramway in Teton Village, and you'll be greeting by panoramic views of the Teton Range once you reach the top. This high-altitude, up-and-down hike follows several trails to skirt the upper reaches of Granite Canyon and dropping in and out of the Granite Creek valley on the way to Marion Lake. Other trails you can access on this hike include the Rendezvous Mountain Trail, the Middle Fork Cutoff Trail, the Teton Crest Trail, and the Granite Canyon Trail. This hike can be done as a (longer, but less strenuous) loop or as an out-and-back trip. There is a fee for taking the tram.
