Hidden Falls, Mountain waterfall in Grand Teton National Park, United States
Hidden Falls is a waterfall in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, and cascades over granite formations in multiple tiers. The water flows through Cascade Canyon, creating a series of small drops along the creek bed.
The waterfall received its name from early park explorers who discovered it concealed within Cascade Canyon in the early 20th century. This discovery was part of the initial exploration and mapping of the national park.
Native American tribes of the region, including the Shoshone, considered the area around Hidden Falls a sacred place for ceremonial gatherings.
The hike to the source takes about an hour and can range in difficulty depending on the season. Comfortable hiking boots and plenty of water are important, especially on warmer days.
The water volume changes dramatically between seasons, reaching its peak during spring snowmelt when multiple streams feed into the main cascade. Visitors who arrive at the right time witness a powerful display that differs drastically from the quieter summer months.
