There’s nothing like a big hike to offset a day of driving! I woke up early (for me!) so I could arrive at Jenny Lake by 8am – and find a parking spot.

Today’s hike: 10.5 miles around Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls and, after a big climb up switchbacks, Inspiration Point. (Hm…several parks I’ve visited have Inspiration Points – not very inspired naming!)

For much of the hike around the lake, there were very few people. Once I got to Hidden Falls, there they were! One option is to take the ferry/shuttle across the lake from the Jenny Lake Visitors Center to Hidden Falls – an option many people take.

The afternoon consisted of napping, reading, laundry, and vacuuming.

All in all, a refreshing day!
