How to Get the Most Out of Your Taggart Lake Hike: Grand Teton National Park

The Taggart Lake Trailhead offers plenty more scenery and adventure from its trailhead than the standard route to and from Taggart Lake. In this video I outline a number of different options to hike beginning from the trailhead, while also giving you the most opportunity to get some fantastic experiences in along the way.

I'm just curious how often bears are spotted in this area? I really don't want to run into one..

[@FreeRoamingHiker]

Bears use the area from time to time, but since moving here in 2008, I've never heard of a negative bear encounter along this trail. I've also hiked it dozens of times and very rarely see bears. It's also highly likely that if you did actually see a bear, it'd be a black bear, and around here they pretty much all have the attitude, "Don't bother me and I won't bother you."

Hey can I hike just to see the lake and return back to the trailhead. how long/miles will that take?

[@FreeRoamingHiker]

Sorry I neglected to mention that option! It's certainly possible though. If going straight to the lake and back, you're looking at a little more than 3 miles round trip. Hope that helps and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
