Cascade Canyon Trail, Hiking trail in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US

Cascade Canyon Trail is a 13.6-mile (21.9 km) round-trip hike in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. From the South Jenny Lake parking area it follows the Jenny Lake Trail along the south shore, passes near Hidden Falls after almost 3 miles (4.8 km), then runs west into Cascade Canyon, flanked by Teewinot Mountain and Mount Owen to the south and The Jaw and Rock of Ages to the north. At the Forks of Cascade Canyon it splits: the Lake Solitude Trail heads to Lake Solitude and Paintbrush Divide, the South Fork Cascade Canyon Trail to Hurricane Pass.

The trail follows a route shaped by the Jenny Lake Trail and the South Fork Cascade Canyon Trail, which connect at the Forks of Cascade Canyon. The South Jenny Lake trailhead and the summer boat shuttle across Jenny Lake, which cuts 4 miles (6.4 km) from the round trip, established the canyon as a day-hike destination in Grand Teton National Park.

The trail ends at the Forks of Cascade Canyon, where it splits: the Lake Solitude Trail climbs toward Lake Solitude and Paintbrush Divide, while the South Fork Cascade Canyon Trail leads to Hurricane Pass. Hikers choose between these two branches at the junction.

Hikers can reduce the total distance by using a shuttle boat service from Jenny Lake Trailhead to West Shore Boat Dock. This makes the route more accessible for visitors with different fitness levels and allows more time to explore the canyon itself.
