Beginning Monday, June 10, hikers using the southern portion of the popular Jenny Lake trail to Hidden Falls and
Cascade Canyon will need to take an upper trail segment beyond Moose Ponds junction. This reroute will be in place for two to four weeks while significant restoration work is done along the more often used shoreline trail.
Signs and a map will be posted near the east shore boat dock and bridge to alert hikers of the temporary reroute from the shoreline trail to what is locally known as the upper horse trail. The horse trail segment involves a slight elevation rise as opposed to the shoreline trail; however, this reroute does not increase the mileage to Hidden Falls.
In addition, the Leigh Lake bridge between String Lake and Leigh Lake is currently closed while the park's trail crew constructs a replacement bridge. The closure will likely last until mid to late June. This bridge provides access to the west shore of String Lake and the junction to Paintbrush Canyon trail.
For information on trail conditions, closures and temporary reroutes, please stop by the Jenny Lake Visitor Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or the Jenny Lake Ranger Station after June 8, its opening date.
