Continuing from the last post of the Grand Teton/Yellowstone National Park trip....
We started our day early to head to Grand Teton National Park....obviously making several stops in the park to click lots of individual pictures, group pictures, and of course, pictures with the natural beauty of Grand Teton :-).

We made first stop to the visitor centre to figure out where we were heading next. The guide gave us couple of options and based on the time we had, we decided to take the boat ride on Jenny lake to the hidden falls and then some of us decided to hike back down (instead of the boat ride back). The drive from the visitor centre to the boat ride was short but the hike to the hidden falls was something unexpected :-/. It was just half a mile hike but the roughness, slopes, and steep steps made it really hard. I also had my mom with me who is not a hiker at all but I can't believe that she did the entire hike with me without any issues. You start seeing the glimpse of Hidden Falls as you're hiking up your way and it's nice sight when you actually reach the final spot.

If you hike just little bit more (maybe 10-15 mins more), you get to the top where you have a nice view of the park and the lake itself. Since it was still bit rough hike, my mom and I headed back down while the rest of our group headed to the top. I saw some pictures that my friend had taken and I think it was a nice view. My original plan was to hike back to the starting point instead of taking boat ride but due to extreme heat and getting tired from the previous hike, I decided to just take the boat ride back down. We got to the parking lot and had nice lunch while waiting for few of our friends who were hiking down from the hidden falls. Once everyone was back at the station and had their lunch, we continued our journey in the Grand Teton National Park. There was one place which I don't remember the name of, but it was just a stop in the park which had one of the BEST views of the Grand Teton mountain ranges. We parked our cars on the side and sat down on the sideway to enjoy the view and relax a bit. Check out the view!!

We had also stopped by at one of the Dam locations for a while before heading back to our condos. It was close to 8 or 9 o'clock when we got back to our condo, tired and exhausted from the entire day but also hungry, so we cooked something quickly, had a nice meal. Lucky for us, we were able to witness the July 4th fireworks from our condo which was nicely done. Then, decided to call it a day to be prepared for the next day in Yellowstone National Park!!
That's all from me about Grand Teton National Park. Stay tuned to hear about our Yellowstone Park adventures!!
Have a great day :)
