The hike to Leigh Lake is simple, flat, and beautiful. The reflections at Leigh are spectacular on a flat water day. We passed lots of families with small children and limited mobility enjoying this beautiful walk in nature.

Camp on Leigh Lake

Because it's only accessible by canoe, kayak, or foot, the 8 Leigh Lake campsites have a solitary backcountry feel to them while providing all the necessities for an enjoyable night under Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park. The western campsites are paddle-in only, while the easter campsites can be accessed via trail or canoe. First, you will need to visit one of the ranger stations to rese...

String Lake Loop, Grand Teton NP

String Lake is a great place to spend time in Grand Teton National Park. There are many options for fun here including kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and picnicking. The warm, shallow waters make it a great lake for families, and there are many options for hiking here, from easy to difficult. This trail-head is the starting point for the loop around the lake as well as the access point for the...

Mount Moran

Mount Moran’s CMC Route is best climbed by starting at String Lake’s boat launch. From here, pack up your overnight and climbing gear into your kayak or canoe and start your journey north on String Lake. At the end of the lake, portage a few hundred yards to Leigh Lake and continue your paddle north. You will come to a large bend where Moran is visible to your right and you will be able to make...

Paintbrush and Cascade Canyons Loop

This is one of the most picturesque and popular overnight trails in the Tetons for a reason. The trailhead is located at the String Lake parking lot. The trail constantly changes at every turn; be ready to experience a wide variety of gorgeous scenes from lush dense forests, scattered waterfalls, impressive mountainous surroundings, crystal clear lakes, roaming wildlife, beautiful glaciers, inc...

Paintbrush Canyon to Holly Lake

This day-long adventure takes off from the Paintbrush Canyon Trailhead. The trailhead is located north of the very popular Jenny Lake along String Lake Rd. It took us about 7 and half hours including an hour lunch break to hike up and down from about 6,900 feet to 9,300 feet, an early start is definitely recommended. Once at the trailhead you will walk down a paved path for about 300 feet wh...

Paintbrush Canyon Loop and Leigh Lake Overnight

There are many ways to access the Teton backcountry. However, one of my personal favorites is from Leigh Lake via the String Lake trailhead. From the backcountry office obtain a backcountry permit for 2 nights at Leigh Lake. Site 12 has some of the more impressive beachfront views of the Front Range. Begin the hike at the String Lake Trailhead (6,880 ft.) Hike along the East side of the lake a...
