Gorgeous gorgeous views! There are some parking spots but can get filled up pretty quickly since this is a popular lake. Make sure to come on a good sunny day to get the best shots! These are taken with my iPhone 11. No saturation/color added, just a bit of contrast/shadow.

Idyllic and picturesque spot in the entire park. The reflection of the mountains on the land was perfect and an amazing place for great pictures. This was not on our list and we ended up accidentally taking the wrong route. But we now feel grateful to have not missed this amazing place. Must visit and a mesmerizing experience.

What an absolutely incredible once in a lifetime experience! Jenny Lake Overlook was beyond amazing and I feel so lucky and privileged to have seen it in person. The people there were so awesome - we had so many people cheering us on as we caught fish, which made the whole experience even more special. There's something magical about sharing those moments with fellow outdoor enthusiasts who genuinely celebrate your success. But honestly, the mountains were just so breathtaking that they took my breath away. The views from this overlook are absolutely stunning - you really can't appreciate how magnificent they are until you see them with your own eyes. Photos don't even come close to capturing the scale and beauty of what you witness here. The combination of great fishing, incredible people, and those jaw-dropping mountain views made this such a memorable day. Jenny Lake Overlook offers the perfect spot to take in the natural beauty while enjoying some fantastic fishing. I can't recommend this place enough! Whether you're an angler or just someone who loves spectacular scenery, this overlook delivers an unforgettable experience. The friendly atmosphere and those unbeatable mountain views make it a must-visit destination. Truly grateful for such an amazing day in this beautiful part of Wyoming!

Great place for a quick stop to soak in the views of the Tetons or a pit stop from hiking. The trail is medium level difficult if you have younger kids. But it's a beautiful trail with gorgeous views. Can get overcrowded and finding a parking might be tough. But people who stop for a quick view leave and if you are patient, a spot will open up.

It took a couple laps through the parking lot to get a space, but in the end it was worth the effort. We saw a bear as we were leaving. the views of the lake are spectacular and one of the prettiest photo spots in the park.

Absolutely stunning views! Jenny Lake Overlook is an easy stop with some of the best scenery in Grand Teton National Park. The lake, the mountains, and the reflection views are breathtaking. It’s quick to access, has parking nearby, and is the perfect spot for photos or just taking in the beauty. A must-see when visiting the Tetons!

We love alpine lakes and this one is massive! The colors of the water at the shore are beautiful, I only wish I had brought my paddle board for a morning paddle. There are little paths down to the shore (it is steep) but it A so worth it!

Highly recommend it! This view is breathtaking! It’s one of the few places in our trip that was car and handicap accessible, so it’s perfect for folks who have a hard time walking. I just wish I had more time to explore.
