Snow is accumulating in the Tetons, temporarily stopping backcountry trail construction on the west side of Jenny Lake until spring. Grand Teton National Park trail crews have worked diligently improving visitor access to highly traveled sections of trail in the Hidden Falls area, along the South Cascade Creek trail, as well as beginning reconstruction of the west shore boat dock. In total, crews moved over 450 tons of material in 2016 in the construction of 207 stone steps, 20 stone drains, 338 linear feet of single-tier wall, 794 square feet of multi-tier wall, and 550 cubic feet of causeway. Aside from work near Inspiration Point slated for 2017, this brings backcountry construction to near completion at Jenny Lake. Below are before/after photos of work completed this summer.
