Perfect and Easy Hike CASCADE CANYON Trail | Grand Teton National Park

Good morning. We are in Grand Teton National Park. We're at Jenny Lake. We're going to do the Cascade Canyon Trail. It's an out and back 10 miles. First we're going to take a ferry across the lake. It cuts off two miles each way otherwise it'd be a 14 mile out and back. The ferry costs $18 round trip per adult. Look what we can see. From all the reviews we've read this is a very very popular trail. The ferry opens at 7 a.m so we wanted to make sure we got on that first boat. We're in our van cooking breakfast having a good time. We're like the first people here and all of a sudden the parking lot's just filling up. We're like we gotta go. So we didn't know this. The first boat of the day if you're paying cash it's five dollars. It goes from $18 to $5. Always carry cash. What a deal. All the hikes we've done we try to change it up but even walking through different forests it's all just a little bit different. Different terrain, different trees, different animals. It's never the same. We have been waiting for this for months. Now in a quarter in we've seen a deer, a black bear, and two moose. You don't have to go very far to see what you want apparently. There are also wild raspberries all over this trail. If some look good I'll probably eat some. It's still good. Okay try not to pick the ones closest to the ground. They're a little a little dusty. Also make sure you know what you're eating before you eat it. We're no experts but I know what the raspberries are. We are just surrounded by mountains right now. Got them going this way and then you turn and they're there too. Just would like to make clear our cameras can only capture so much. This is something you need to experience in person. Come out to a national park and hike and see it for yourself. You will never regret it. Any guide that you read or any information and big signs say that you should bring bear spray with you when you are in Tetons, Yellowstone, and a lot of other back country hikes that we probably should have had it but we didn't. We bought ours at Albertsons grocery store. It's widely available. We paid fifty dollars but we have seen a lot of people carry it and it's just a precaution that you should have and if you do come across a bear and it does charge you're going to be thankful that you have it. I also know that there are outdoor outfitters that rent them so if you don't want to pay the fifty dollars and you're just gonna use it for one hike do a little bit of research and find an outfitter that rents it. We've made it. It was about five miles. It took us two hours exactly. There's lots of other trails that you can do from here. There's paint brush. There's other lakes but this is our end point. This was an enjoyable hike. Cascade Canyon, the waterfall is your end point. It's not a mountaintop but we also didn't work very hard to get here and it was beautiful the entire way. That was one of the easiest long hikes we've ever done. You go up about 1,500 feet in the first mile and then it's even and flat and beautiful for the next four miles. Just to recap on the trail. We did 10 miles pretty much exactly in a little over four hours. Now we have to make some lunch, clean up breakfast and head to Yellowstone. you
