This beautiful and easy hike begins at the Jenny Lake Trailhead.You can hike around the south end of Jenny Lake, or take the shuttle boat across to the Cascade Canyon Trailhead.
The Lakeshore Trail begins on the backside of the Colter Bay Visitor Center. It consists of two connecting loops that circle around the inner and outer portions of the Colter Bay Peninsula.
This loop can be hiked in either direction, but counter clockwise is nice to catch the morning light on the mountains. This is a very popular part of the park so early morning is nice for smaller crowds.
This is a heavily trafficked trail so morning visits are nice. This is a moderate difficulty trail.Hiking the trail counter clockwise will provide the best views and photography opportunities.
