Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Moran

"If you imagine the most picturesque swimming spot in your mind, chances are that String Lake will exceed those expectations!. This small lake sits at the base of the mountains and is the perfect place to swim and play in the water. The water is clear and shallow, the bottom is sandy, and the views just can’t get any better."

"If you’re looking to swim, SUP, kayak, or canoe, String Lake, immediately northwest of Jenny Lake, is the place. Rarely deeper than five feet, it warms up quite nicely—into the low 50s, at least. Picnic areas line the eastern shore and a hiking trail circles the lake."

"Take the one-way loop off the main road to visit Jenny Lake, or to do one of the shorter hikes to Leigh Lake (1.8 miles RT) or String Lake (3.7 miles RT). Later, make your way south, stopping at as many viewpoints are your heart desires."

"You’ll find short and simple trails leading you to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. Escape the crowds by continuing on past Inspiration Point to Lake Solitude. From the boat landing, Lake Solitude is around 14 miles round trip with 2,400 feet of elevation gain. It makes for a longer day, but traveling below the jagged peaks of Cascade Canyon provides very different scenery from the prior day in Death Canyon."

"The hike to Hidden Falls takes you on an exciting adventure across Jenny Lake and up to a roaring 100-foot waterfall!. Hidden Falls is one of the best easy hikes in Grand Teton because it’s short, it provides picturesque views of the mountains, and you get the added fun of riding a boat across the lake to see a beautiful waterfall."

"This 100-foot waterfall is popular and easily accessible, so it may get crowded. To see the falls you can either hike around the southern shore of Jenny Lake, or take one of the frequent boat shuttles across the lake. The boat shuttle has a fee, but it cuts off several miles of hiking."

"Piste Mountain Bistro delivers a 'groomed' yet lively dining experience at the top of the Bridger Gondola. The new menu, as well as many returning entrée favorites, will please everyone from gourmet hounds to secret fast-food junkies. A cheery fire burns in the entryway, which opens into a friendly bar scene with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer the best views of the mountain and valley."

"Quite possibly Jackson's most unique dining experience, The Deck is located at the top of Bridger Gondola at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Enjoy tapas and happy hour specials Sunday through Friday throughout the summer. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a pre- or post-hike meal with an incredible view!"

"Very good service as well, and a memorable experience for all. Prices were high, but that’s to be expected for premium dining at the top of a mountain."

"Lake Solitude is one of the most popular challenging hikes in Grand Teton, but the stunning views along the trail are absolutely worth the effort. You’ll pass through Hidden Falls, Inspiration Point, and Cascade Canyon, ending at Lake Solitude and giving you a quadruple-whammy of hikes all in one!. Hikers rave that the Lake Solitude trail is perhaps the most beautiful and scenic hike in all of Grand Teton…but you’ll have to do the hike to decide for yourself."

"Either a 16- or 19-mile out-and-back hike from the Jenny Lake trailhead (the distance depends on whether you take a ferry across Jenny Lake), Lake Solitude is easily the park’s most popular backcountry lake. This is not without good reason. At 9,000 feet in the back of Cascade Canyon, at sunset Lake Solitude reflects the Cathedral Group—the Grand Teton, Teewinot, and Mt. Owen."

"Lake Solitude is known and known well for its charming views, clear waters and serene surroundings. To reach the lake a bit of hiking would be required but when you do reach the lake all the hard work pays off and you get breath-taking views of the location."

"The Blacktail Ponds Overlook is located just north Antelope Flats Road on Hwy 89. The overlook faces west and gives a panoramic view of the mountain range, river and fields. It is a place where many people setup to look for Elk and other wildlife."

"If you’re looking for moose, this is a great place to visit in the morning. But no guarantees as it is mother nature. When I went, I waited 15 minutes and then left."

"This stop is a historic homestead along the Snake River set up by William D. Menor in 1894. The ferry which he built and operated was crucial for early settlers in Jackson Hole, which I highly recommend stopping at during your 1 day in Grand Teton National Park. You can explore the old district, stopping by Menor’s cabin, the general store, and the ferry."

"Menor’s Ferry was a river ferry that crossed the Snake River near the present-day Moose. The site was homesteaded by Bill Menor in 1892. His homestead included a five-room cabin, a bar, and a store, plus a shed and an icehouse."

"In 1892, entrepreneurial Ohioan Bill Menor took advantage of this narrow channel in the Snake River and established a homestead, ferry and general store. The buildings are open for exploration, and visitors can..."

"Jenny Lake Drive and Overlook is definitely one of my favorite drives and spots in Grand Teton National Park. My recommendation is to park in the parking lot by Jenny Lake and then, walk all the way to the shore of Jenny Lake. That way, you will get an unobstructed view of the mountain range."

"For the best view of Jenny Lake with the jagged Teewinot Mountain in the distance, take a drive along the Jenny Lake Scenic Drive. This one-way road is short and sweet, but it’s a great place to go to enjoy views of Grand Teton’s most famous lake."

"Perched on the lake's glacial moraine, this overlook offers good views of the Tetons and tall Ribbon Cascade to the right of Cascade Canyon, and shuttle boats headed for Inspiration Point. Be careful not to miss..."

"On your way north, you can visit a couple of the viewpoints you missed yesterday, like Snake River Overlook (made famous by photographer Ansel Adams). Further north, Oxbow Bend and Willow Flats are also worth a stop, and are spots where you may be able to see wildlife like moose and bear."

"Potholes Turnoutis a good stop to make while you are hiking in the park as there are many varieties of flowers and plants in the area that make it look amazing. Potholes Turnout is an easy walk and can be made with your family and friends. The turnout is excellent if you want to stretch your legs after a long hike."

"Potholes Turnout is your next stop on 42-Mile Scenic Loop Drive in Grand Teton National Park. Potholes, also known as kettles, are depressions in the glacial outwash plain. A pothole forms when a chunk of ice breaks off a retreating glacier and stays on the plain."
