Take a Hike: Phelps Lake
Our favorite hike to take visitors on is low on stress & high on "wow" factor. Not far from Teton Village on the Moose–Wilson road, the Phelps Lake Loop starts at the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve.
Insider Tips
- On the hike up stay to the North. It is great to walk down the Southern trail, and along the raging creek on hot afternoons.
- For extra adventure bring your swim trunks. The Jumping Rock is a great spot for a refreshing dip. For the ultimate influencer moment have your cameraman on the east side and get Death Canyon in the background!
- Go early, you need a parking spot to hit the trail, and once it fills you will be waiting in line!
- Stop by M on your way home, and grab an afternoon Iced Coffee at Persephone Westbank.
