Hidden Falls is a 100-foot cascading waterfall in Cascade Canyon near Jenny Lake, one of Grand Teton National Park’s most popular waterfall destinations. The falls are reachable via two routes: a short 1-mile round-trip using the optional Jenny Lake shuttle boat, or a longer 4.9-mile round-trip hiking around the south shore of the lake.
The shuttle boat option provides the quickest access and is especially valuable for visitors with limited time or hiking tolerance. The paid boat shuttle requires a separate ticket beyond the park entrance fee, though exact prices are not specified in the NPS source materials. Once at the trailhead (accessed via boat), the 1-mile round-trip hike is easy and family-friendly.
The hiking-around-the-lake route adds nearly 4 miles of travel but eliminates the ferry cost and offers scenic shoreline views. NPS notes that the trail frequently holds snow in spring and can be slick; plan for typical spring/summer snow melt conditions if visiting in May or early June. Dogs are not permitted on any NPS trail, including this one. Grand Teton’s $35 per vehicle, 7-day entrance fee applies.
