Arrival day! This itinerary is geared towards an early afternoon arrival, but if you get here later in the afternoon or evening I'd recommend going to Jackson Hole for dinner and pushing everything on the itinerary back a day:)

Jackson Hole can be expensive and a lot of the hikes and campsites are pretty close together anyway (Jackson is about a 30-45 minute drive from them one way), so I'd recommend getting groceries for breakfast and ideally lunch too most of the days! That way you save money and don't need to go back and forth from town too much. We camped every night and did groceries for most meals, but I've included restaurant and hotel / hostel recommendations based on my research too if that's not your vibe!

Jenny Lake, Hidden Falls, Inspiration Point and Cascade Canyon confused me before I went because they're essentially all part of the same hike, which wasn't super obvious (at least to me haha)! To start this 9.2 mile out and back hike, you're either going to take the boat across Jenny Lake (this is what we did) or you're going to need to hike all the way around, adding about 4 miles to your hike today. I'd recommend taking the boat, but getting there early if you'd like to avoid waiting in line.

Mormon Row is a must visit in the Grand Tetons! I'd recommend going at sunset because it was BEAUTIFUL:) Mormon Row is also pretty close to a handful of good (and free) campsites. I've attached the one I stayed at to this itinerary, but I'd recommend going to freecampsites.net to search for the best campsites and to read the recent reviews. The Tetons had some of the best free camping I've ever seen!!

For accommodation, we have 4 different options: free unofficial (but legal don't worry haha) campsites, official (paid) campsites which would typically have more amenities too, hostels, and hotels. We camped at free campsites every night.

There's a free campsite attached to this guide, but I'd recommend checking freecampsites.net if you're getting there later in the day, because this site can fill up depending on when you go!
