Hidden Falls lies at the end of a 3-4 mile Cascade Canyon trail in Grand Teton National Park.\u00a0 It’s very difficult to capture an image here that shows the true scale of the 200ft. cascade since the area is fenced off for safety.\u00a0 I’ll let the audio file help tell the story.<\/p>\n

We could hardly hear each other speak, even though we were at least 100 yards from the foot of the cascade.\u00a0 Also, our lens continued to fog over every 30 seconds from the cool air and heavy mist coming off the falls.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, Brent’s camera was out of commission for about 18 hours afterward due to absorbing moisture during our 15-20 minute visit.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that Carl and I hiked another 500ft. (elevation) to Inspiration Point, at which time our altitude challenged lungs were met with thunder and lightning!\u00a0 We started high-tailing it back down, only to be caught in a hail storm.\u00a0 Ouch.\u00a0 Hail, lightning, mountain peaks, and middle-aged guys – the perfect storm (NOT!).<\/p>\n
