Taggart Lake Trail

The Taggart Lake Trail is a 3-mile (4.8 km) long round-trip hiking trail in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[1] The trail is accessed from the Taggart Lake trailhead and provides access to Taggart Lake, with views of the lake and the Teton Range.[2] At Taggart Lake, the trail intercepts the Valley Trail which heads north towards Bradley Lake or south to Death Canyon.[2] Using the Valley Trail and the Bradley Lake Trail, a loop hike starting from the Taggart Lake Trailhead is 5.9 mi (9.5 km) long.[3]
