Description

The Valley Trail is a collection of Grand Teton trails spanning from Teton Village to Lupine Meadows Trail. The trail closely flanks the base of the Teton Range and skirts the Phelps Lake shoreline. You could, in theory use Valley Trail to hike from Jackson Hole Resort into the national park and link with other trails like. However, it's most commonly used as part of hiking routes like Bradley - Taggart Loop, Amphitheater Lake, or Garnet Canyon.

You can also hike from the southern end of this trail at Jackson Hole's Teton Village base area to reach a nice overlook of Phelps Lake in about 13 miles roundtrip.
