Jenny Lake Overlook

Grand Teton National Park


Perched on the lake's glacial moraine, this overlook offers good views of the Tetons and tall Ribbon Cascade to the right of Cascade Canyon, and shuttle boats headed for Inspiration Point. Be careful not to miss the turnout, as you can't back up on this one-way road.
