Location: Access the Grandview Point Trailhead from the main highway. Travel two miles north from Jackson Lake Junction, turn east on an unmarked dirt road and continue one mile to the end. Notes: These trails are lightly traveled and pass through prime bear habitat. There are no facilities at this trailhead-remember to bring water and use a restroom before you arrive. Bears may be active any place and at any time-travel in groups, make noise and carry bear spray. Hikers cannot access backcountry camping from this trailhead. Destinations A steep climb leads to Grand View Point with spectacular views of the Teton Range and Jackson Lake. Beyond here, the trail becomes easier and traverses conifer forests and sagebrush meadows looping around Two Ocean and Emma Matilda lakes.
