Most visitors come to Grand Teton for the well-known nature and hiking attractions, but the most memorable moments happen off the main path. Side streets one block from Jenny Lake, residential quarters, quiet courtyards — these are the parts of Grand Teton that feel genuine. Places like Delta Lake are the kind of spots locals would actually recommend.
