Topo Map: Moose and Grand Teton or GTNP
Directions/Parking: Follow the directions for the preceding ski tour to Jenny Lake.
Trail description: Starting from the same parking area, this tour heads west toward the mountains. A three- to five-mile round trip, this tour features a variety of terrain from flat to moderately steep trails. After heading in toward the Tetons, turn north and follow the trail as it first skirts and then climbs through the moraine. After about a mile, the trail forks. If you turn right another mile of climbing takes you to a view above Taggart Lake. Going left takes you directly to the lake itself. Return via the same route or turn south, cross the lake’s outlet on a bridge, and follow another trail that climbs the moraine above the lake. This trail leads out along Beaver Creek to the parking area. Both return trips involve descending the moraine, where the track can be icy. Use care on the descent.
Avalanche risk: Low
