Lost Lake

The Wind River Lake is at a picnic area right off the road near Togwotee Pass. Many drive past it each day, but few stop to actually give this small lake the attention it deserves. While it freezes over in the winter, it remains photogenic, especially if you get there early in the season after a fresh snow.  In the spring/early summer as the lake starts to thaw, the fishing here is particular...

As you drive from Dubois to Togwotee Pass or Grand Teton you will no doubt notice beautiful cliffs right off the road. These are the Breccia Cliffs.

Most of the sites are shaded and private.There are several beaches on the shore of the lake that provid...
