Jenny Lake Trail, Hiking trail at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US.
The Jenny Lake Trail extends 7.1 miles around the lake perimeter, passing through forests and offering views of the Teton mountain range.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed this trail network during the 1930s as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives.
The lake carries the name of Jenny Leigh, a Shoshone woman who assisted the Hayden Geological Survey expedition team in 1872.
Visitors need to arrive before 9 AM during summer months to secure parking spaces at the trailhead near South Jenny Lake Junction.
The trail crosses a footbridge connecting String Lake to Jenny Lake at 2.6 miles, where hikers often spot moose and beaver near Moose Ponds.
