One of my favorite locations in the park by far. We were able to avoid the majority of crowds by getting there at 5 a.m. on a Thursday. I would suggest doing it early, it was well worth it to have the freedom to move around and shoot without people in every shot. I can't speak for rush hour, but can see this destination getting crowded since we passed countless people hiking in while we were on our way out.

If your any where near YNP, this is a mandatory stop. The canyon has overlooks on both sides with jaw dropping views. Its a beautiful thing to feel as small as this canyon does.

This is a fantastic hike with stunning rewards. The final approach to the lake is very steep but definitely worth it. Although the last portion of the trail is not maintained there seemed to be enough people in view that the trail wasn't too hard to find. That being said, we were there on a Saturday during the day and this hike provided everything accept privacy. There were about five other groups at the lake when we were there. The large mountain peeks provide a stunning backdrop for the vibrant turquoise lake at the base.

This place saved us. We got into The Grand Teton Park late and needed a place to set up camp. We found this little gem just outside of the park. When we woke up in the morning, we were amazed at the views that we weren't able to see on our night drive in. It gets the name "The Observatory" for a good reason. With views of the Tetons and several hiking trails this spot is a must.

Wow! What an adventure to hike the East Rosebud trail during the winter. Looks like a true test of survival. We were able to hike it earlier this year in June, and understand where it gets the nickname "The Beaten Path" (at least during the summer months). The trail was heavily populated, for good reason though. Its a very scenic hike that can ultimately take you 25 miles to Cooke City. From the looks of it though, you guys didn't have any problem with coming across people.

If you like the sense of feeling small, this scenic overlook is a must see. With cliff walls that are 1500 ft tall, the canyon is the 3rd deepest in the US. There is a $5 fee per 24 hours for each car or bicycle which can be payed via mobile device or kiosk at the entrances of the park. There are additional fees for campsites. We stayed at the Horseshoe Bend Campground which was very open, containing little to no trees (not too much privacy from your neighbors). However, the red hills surrounding the area make an interesting backdrop. Make sure your route is set to the southern entrance, as the outlook is only accessible from the north via boat. We made the mistake of having to loop around the private Reservation land from the north entrance to the southern.
