Family Friendly Accessed directly from the Taggart Lake trailhead, this loop is perfect for a short family outing with opportunities for wildlife and mountain viewing, and awesome lakeside snacking.
Description
Circumnavigate the Taggart Lake area on this wide-open trail as the Teton Range continually dominates your views. The trail winds its way through aspen groves, mountain streams, and fields filled with wildflowers. This trail is especially colorful during the fall months due to the large number of aspens, but it's good any time of year!

Great spot for lunch/dinner! North side of the loop (right from TH), is more scenic, definitely could just do that side instead of full loop next time

There was still some snow on the trail but nothing major. Very pretty and one of the easier hikes in the area. Spotted no wildlife on our hike. 3mi
