Grand Teton's Epic Loop Hike

It seems that most national parks have at least one loop hike that takes in the best of what that park has to offer in terms of scenery. Grand Teton National Park is no exception in that category. In fact, the Paintbrush Canyon-Cascade Canyon Loop can probably be described as being "epic". At roughly 20 miles it's quite a long hike to do in one day - though there are many people who still do it in one fell swoop. With several backcountry campsites located in both canyons, backpackers can easily hike this loop at a much more relaxing pass by taking two, or even three days, to finish the loop.



Below is a video that highlights the stunning scenery hikers will see. It takes hikers up to Holly Lake in Paintbrush Canyon, over the spectacular Paintbrush Divide, down to Lake Solitude , and then finishes off with a walk through the extremely popular Cascade Canyon.



Hope you enjoy this vicarious hike - and hope that one day you'll get a chance to at least do portions of this wonderful loop:
