Exploring Grand Teton National Park has been one of the most gratifying experiences on our travels, so how can we forget our amazing Grand Teton Adventure? This is by far one of the best experiences we had in recent years, not just because of the beauty of the Tetons, or because we run into a Bear and a Moose, but because of how majestic they are. In our Grand Teton adventure, we hike to 4 amazing lakes, and we even ran into a Mama bear with her Cub. We also visited Schwabacher Landing for another incredible encounter with a Moose.
Our adventure was filled with gorgeous nature, Marmots, bison and more.

1. Phelps Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming. The natural lake is located at the entrance to Death Canyon in the southern section of the park. A number of hiking trails can be found near the lake, the most popular being a 1.8-mile roundtrip hike to the Phelps Lake overlook. This moderate loop trail provides access to Phelps Lake as well as views into Death Canyon and the southern end of the Teton Range. Start the trail from the Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve and follow the trail as it loops Phelps Lake. Those looking to extend the hike can add the Aspen Ridge or Boulder Ridge trails on the way to and from the lake.
2. The Jenny Lake Trail is a 7.1-mile long hiking trail which circles Jenny Lake, located in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The trail begins at the Jenny Lake campground or can be accessed at several other trailheads.
Jenny Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The lake was formed approximately 12,000 years ago by glaciers pushing rock debris which carved Cascade Canyon during the last glacial maximum, forming a terminal moraine which now impounds the lake.
3. The Leigh Lake Trail is a 5-mile long hiking trail in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. For its entire length, it is also part of the Valley Trail. The trail starts at the Leigh Lake trailhead and follows the eastern shores of String and Leigh Lakes and extends to Trapper Lake.
4. Schwabacher’s Landing is a spot on the Snake River, almost exactly east of Grand Teton, where the terrain flattens out and allows easy access to the river. There is a dirt road coming off the main highway and down to various trailheads. There is a four-mile hiking trail that meanders along the banks of the Snake River past beaver dams and partially chewed trees. Throughout the hike are picturesque views of the Teton Mountains and their reflections in the water.
5. The Taggart Lake Trail is a 3-mile (4.8 km) long round-trip hiking trail in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The trail is accessed from the Taggart Lake trailhead and provides access to Taggart Lake, with views of the lake and the Teton Range. At Taggart Lake, the trail intercepts the Valley Trail, which heads north towards Bradley Lake or south to Death Canyon. Using the Valley Trail and the Bradley Lake Trail, a loop hike starting from the Taggart Lake Trailhead is 5.9 mi (9.5 km) long.

Grand Teton National Park is a vast alpine wonderland with stunning mountain views and
regal wildlife like bears, marmots, moose, and bison. It's the perfect place to commune with nature.
If you're new to our channel, welcome! We hope this video inspires you
and helps you plan your future dream vacation to Grand Teton National Park.
Today we're going to Grand Teton National Park. I'm super excited because I've been looking
forward to going to this park for two years now and it's going to be the coldest park that we
visited so far on this trip. We've done a lot of really hot parks like in Utah so I'm excited to
cool off and be in the mountains with the snow and the beautiful wildflowers and maybe see some
moose or something. So I'm super excited to do these beautiful trails. We have like four trails
picked out. Hopefully we'll be able to get to all of them and on this on this trip we're gonna do
easy trails under five miles long. First we stop at the Victor Emporium right before entering Grand
Teton National Park to get an ice cream I had been craving for two years. We're here at the
Victor Emporium in Victor, Idaho and I'm gonna try Huckleberry ice cream for the first time
in two years. I can still remember the first time that I had Huckleberry ice cream. This is the best
ice cream flavor I've ever tasted and I love ice cream. It's Huckleberry ice cream. Let's see if
it's as good as I remember. It's so good. It really is like all of the berries mixed together
into like a super berry. It's so good. I love it. So I have to try the shake too.
Oh the shake has so many actual Huckleberries in it. It's amazing you can really taste
what the Huckleberry tastes like. It's so delicious. That's what that's this is your shake?
We visited Grand Teton National Park on our baby moon this summer before welcoming our
daughter into our family. In our opinion if you could only visit one national park this
summer with your family it should be Grand Teton. This park has it all. Stunning mountain views,
pristine alpine lakes and the chance to observe some fascinating wildlife you may not see anywhere
else. We picked four hikes with lake views that we thought would be easy enough for me to do
five months pregnant and they all ended up to be absolutely breathtaking and a perfect difficulty
level. We'll start with the Woodland Trail to Phelps Lake then take a romantic walk around Jenny
Lake. Then we'll hike to Lay Lake which includes the lovely String Lake on the way. After that we'll
make a detour to Schwabacher Landing for an amazing moose sighting and we'll end our adventure with
the gorgeous Taggart Lake hike. Our first trail is going to be the Woodland Trail to Phelps Lake
and for this in Google Maps we put Lawrence Rockefeller Preserve and so we got to the parking
here. You just walk past the Rockefeller Center and keep going and the trail is very easy to find.
I'm so excited for this trail it looks really beautiful and the lake is gorgeous with the
mountain views in the background. Phelps Lake was a wonderful way to start our adventure at Grand
Teton. The trail winds through an enchanting old forest with a rushing river waterfalls and
wildflowers. Hiking through Grand Teton is a wonderful experience because even in the high
season it doesn't feel crowded at all. You can really feel that you're enjoying a completely
untouched wilderness all by yourself. Making a wish.
That was pathetic. The Woodland Trail is about three miles but you can make it much longer if
you want to walk around the whole lake. The trail is very well maintained and a great workout for
the whole family with exciting features like bridges and big boulders. Once you make it to
the lake keep your eyes peeled for some adorable and photogenic little animals along the shore.
This is a really fun short trail and it has lots of trees with moss on them and huge beautiful rocks
and at the very end of the trail you get this unbelievable view of this lake with the mountains
in the background. We also saw a lot of wildflowers and we got to see an adorable marmot up close that
just wanted to pose for pictures. It was a super fun hike. Look it's moss. Moss is right here.
So cool. I love moss. The Woodland Trail was so enchanting with all the moss on the trees
and the big beautiful rocks and at the very end you get this gorgeous lake and so now we're just
hiking around Phelps Lake a little bit and just enjoying this trail. It's so so pretty. You can
walk around the whole lake if you had all day. It would be so nice. Such a wonderful way to spend
the day with family. So now we're going to head back and keep enjoying this magnificent national
park. I really love this park so far because it's so beautiful and it's not crowded at all and the
people you do see on the trail are so friendly and always say hello and have a big smile.
Our experience on this part of the hike was especially exciting because we had an encounter
with an unexpected and potentially dangerous animal. On the trail ahead we spotted a mama bear
on one side and a baby bear in the tree on the other. As everyone should know you never go between
a mama bear and her cub. We ended up meeting some new people that were also waiting for the bears
to move and we learned so much about bear safety from the group. How to avoid getting eaten by a
bear. Hike in groups, stay calm and do not run. Bye bear. You're scared? Come on. So at the end of our hike
we had a super exciting experience. There was a huge mama bear right in our path with her cub
and so luckily there was a huge group of people around and they knew what to do like they called
the rangers and then but the bear started coming towards us and Gabby wanted to take pictures and
I was so scared because the bear got pretty close and we were all backing up towards the bridge
and then the the whole group just started yelling at the bear and like making tons of noise and it
was so fun to be in the group like we were like marching and yelling at the bear and the bear
went away but Gabby got some really good pictures of the bear and he's super excited because two
years ago when we were at Glacier he was so disappointed that he didn't see a bear
and today on our anniversary he got the wonderful gift of seeing a bear and a baby bear too.
It was so fun. That night we checked into our cabin and then drove to Jenny Lake.
On the way we were lucky to see some amazing wildlife and witness an unforgettable mountain
sunset. Jenny Lake was perfect for a romantic and relaxing evening stroll.
We just watched the sunset behind the Tetons and now we're gonna walk around Jenny Lake
and just enjoy the beautiful evening breeze and see what kind of wildlife we can find. We already
saw some deer and this beautiful gigantic silver fox. Unfortunately I was too slow on the camera
but it was such a pretty fox. Hopefully we'll see another one. This morning we came back super early
to Jenny Lake to take photos of the reflection in the water and we got here around 6 30 and it's
perfect. Look how amazing that looks. Jackson Wyoming is the closest town to Grand Teton
and the perfect place to get a nice meal and relax after a hike. It's bagels. Grocery bagels. This
looks like a very happening place this morning so it must be. After a glorious morning of photography
at Jenny Lake we went to Jackson to get some bagels and brought them back to our parents.
Picked up our parents and now we're at the Lay Lake Trailhead and right now we're gonna hike
String Lake to Lay Lake and then just walk along the lake and enjoy the views as long as we feel
like it. So let's get started on this beautiful trail. The nice thing about the hike to Lay Lake
is that you don't have to wait at all to get gorgeous water views. If you park at the Lay
Trailhead you'll start hiking along the emerald green String Lake. The whole hike is along the
shore with water views peeking through a beautiful pine forest. This is String Lake which looks like
a wonderful popular spot for kayaking and we're gonna walk along String Lake all the way to Lay
Lake and enjoy these beautiful views. It's only a couple miles to get to Lay Lake and if you want
to make a whole day of it you can hike all the way to the other side of this gigantic lake
and even continue to connecting trails. We're coming up on Lay Lake. It's so big and the water
is unbelievably clear. It's so pretty. Can't wait to get a panoramic view of it.
Wouldn't it be so fun to kayak out to that tree?
The Lay Lake Trail is such a fun one because you get these beautiful lake views of both the
String Lake and the Lay Lakes and a wonderful woodland hike. Something really nice about this
trail is that you can hike as long as you want around the lake and the views just keep getting
more and more beautiful. We're actually gonna head back now because it's starting to rain
and then go on our other hike today which is the Taggart Lake hike.
We're in Jackson, Wyoming. We're gonna go find some delicious lunch because we worked up an
appetite on our hike today and it's really fun just walking around this beautiful cute town.
We're at Moose Gourmet Ice Cream and I just got two amazing flavors of ice cream. The huckleberry
is really good. I think it's better than yesterday because the flavor is so strong.
Delicious and I know it doesn't go with huckleberry but I had to get mint chocolate chip
because it's like natural. It doesn't have food coloring and that's my pregnancy craving. Mint
chocolate chip is awesome. So yesterday a lady gave us a tip that we should go to Schwabacher's
Landing Trail to see the moose. That there's a moose here who always comes out and is easy to
see and sure enough we came here after lunch and got to see an amazing moose show. It's a beautiful
huge moose and she's so funny because she likes to blow bubbles after eating. So fun to watch.
Since we stopped at Schwabacher's Landing the evening before for our moose encounter we got
up nice and early the next morning to do the Taggart Lake hike. This morning we're hiking
to Taggart Lake. I'm really looking forward to this trail. It's one of the most popular trails
in the park and a lot of people say it's the very best one. It's a little bit under four miles and
has a beautiful lake at the end and as you can see our views right at the beginning of the trailhead
are magnificent. We just started this hike and it's already so beautiful with this aspen forest
and we have a wonderful breeze because it rained yesterday. It's already 10am but it's still really
cool. So this is going to be a wonderful hike. So far the trail has been uphill along the beautiful
rushing river and so that was really pleasant and now we're going to walk through this
amazing alpine field with the view of the mountains. This is such a wonderful trail.
This is such a classic mountain hike view with a beautiful trail just winding in front of the
mountains. I love this and all the flowers. This pine forest is so pretty and the shade is so nice
after that short little walk through the sun. This trail is so cool because it really does have it all
because you hike through the mountains you have the aspen forest then you have that beautiful
clearing the alpine meadow with the mountain view. Now we have a pine forest and I guess we're going
to have a beautiful lake soon. We made it to Taggart Lake. This hike was really fun. There's
a huge variety of landscapes and a lot of nature and now we're just going to enjoy this beautiful
view just relax and listen to the water and the wind and the trees. We had amazing 48 hours in
this park and we wish we could stay longer but we got to keep going. We hope that everybody gets
to experience this place for themselves because it's a wonderful place to really connect with
nature. We feel so blessed that we got to hike at Grand Teton National Park on our baby moon.
We had some unforgettable encounters with wildlife and got to experience the beauty of wild Wyoming.
this is not the end
