We spent an entire day canoeing out to and around Leigh Lake. Without a doubt the most picturesque paddling I have ever done, it was absolutely incredible. While you cannot put together a "route" for this area, if you are looking for a cool place to basecamp and branch off on some hiking adventures, this would be perfect. Here is a good Grand Teton Paddling Video I found that showcases where we were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ebfmm8MZ0U

It is the most beautiful park I've ever been to. We caught a ferry across Jenny Lake and hiked up into the mountains. Saw two moose there munching on vegetation for about 20-25 minutes. They were only about 30 feet from us. We didn't camp during the trip, although it would be a good place to go. All the bear proof garbage cans, etc. would kind of worry me about doing any serious back country camping. Canoeing yes, but not hike and camp. Not without several cans of bear mace and a couple of .44 magnums. They have "REAL" bears there, i.e. grizzly and browns. They also have black bears too, which are much less of a worry. Tomster

Jenny Lake, String Lake, Leigh Lake, Bearpaw, Trapper, Jackson, then the Snake River to Moose. I then hopped on my bike and did the shuttle. I called it the Grand Teton Grand Tour, and lots of fun. I figured it was about 40 miles with portages. Took me 11 hours.
