Though the Leigh Lake trail is an easy way to see some of the best wildflowers in the Tetons, more adventurous hikers can continue their journey and follow any of the additional trails that connect - like the Paintbrush Canyon Trail.

Cascade Canyon is another nearby spot where you'll find yourself surrounded by Wildflowers, but the hike through the Canyon to Lake Solitude is a much longer journey.

Leigh Lake is the perfect balance of scenic strolling, where anyone can make the trek, and the payoff is absolutely breathtaking.
