Due to time constraints we will not be able to do the Jenny Lake/Cascade Canyon hike before leaving Yellowstone. Both the areas are spectacular, but very different. Anyone know of a Yellowstone hike that is similar to the Cascade hike in regards to stark raw beauty of the rugged mountains lining the canyon trail.
Thanks
Cascade Canyon type hike in Yellowstone
probably something around the canyon area. i haven%26#39;t done it yet but the heart lake hike in the west thumb area looks like it would be a nice one.
Cascade Canyon type hike in Yellowstone
I don%26#39;t think there are any hikes in Yellowstone that compare with Cascade Canyon. The Tetons and Yellowstone are two very different areas. The Teton are mountains that rise up directly from a flat valley while Yellowstone is the caldera of a volcano. Much different topography. In the Tetons you hike up a canyon surrounded by the mountains, in Yellowstone you hike up Mt. Washburn to see from the top of a mountain. Take a look at the view from the top of Mt. Washburn.

We will be staying at the Canyon area and will doing the North and South Rim which should be very cool. Will take a look at the West Thumb area.
