Hidden Falls, Mountain waterfall in Grand Teton National Park, United States
Hidden Falls drops 100 feet over granite rocks, creating multiple cascading tiers along Cascade Creek near Jenny Lake in Wyoming's mountainous landscape.
The waterfall received its name from early park explorers who discovered it concealed within Cascade Canyon, documented during the initial park surveys of 1929.
Native American tribes of the region, including the Shoshone, considered the area around Hidden Falls a sacred place for ceremonial gatherings.
Visitors can reach the falls via a 1-mile round trip from the Jenny Lake boat dock or choose a 5-mile hiking trail around the lake.
The water volume changes dramatically throughout the seasons, reaching its peak during spring snowmelt when multiple streams feed into the main cascade.
