Jenny Lake Blue Columbines

SEASONS The Jenny Lake area looks best when it's at it's greenest and the wildflowers are in bloom. For most years this takes place from mid to late June. Hidden Falls on the far side of the lake is a popular photo spot. It is best shot on an overcast day when the highlights in the cascades won't become 'blown out'. Hike there and enjoy the wildflower show!
