Grand Canyon of Yellowstone River

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, formed by water and scoured by glaciers, is 20 miles long, up to 1,200 feet deep and 1,500-4,000 feet wide. But it's not the canyon's statistics that impress, it's the sight of it. Two waterfalls, one above the other, cascade into the golden-walled Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, their clear water forming an aquamarine ribbon winding far below. 2005

These pretty flower clusters grow along the trail up to Inspiration Point. The trail is one of the most popular hikes in Grand Teton. The trail can be reached on foot or by shuttle boat which departs from the marina located near Jenny Lake Visitor Center. The trail to Inspiration Point climbs 420 feet over one mile.
