This epic multi-day hike begins (or ends) at the Granite Canyon trail head. This trail can take any time between 2-5 days, depending on how many stops you want to take. A good campsite for the first night is Marion Lake. If you’re taking your time you can stop at one of the many lakes along the trail. For a 3 day trip, your 2nd night could be at the top of Cascade Canyon which will eventually take you down to Inspiration Point and Jenny Lake. The $7 boat ride from the base of Inspiration Point and the bank of Jenny Lake may sound like a bargain to shave off the last mile or so of your long hike.Note: Shuttle a vehicle to your end point (Jenny Lake parking lot). You need a back-country permit to stay over night in the Grand Teton National Park back-country.Take bear sprayTake a WAG BAG—much of the hike is above the tree line so you’ll need to pack out your waste.
