Nearby Hikes
Endless hiking can be found in nearby Grand Teton National Park, with towering mountains above and pristine mountain lakes and streams scattered throughout the valley. Because of our remote location, we share a few nearby hikes with our guests if they want to venture off the ranch.
Horsetail Creek &
West Fork Loop
On the road into Red Rock Ranch you’ll pass the trailhead to Horsetail Creek and West Fork Loop. This 12.4-mile loop is considered challenging, taking an average of 6 ½ hours to complete. Great for both hiking and mountain biking, you’ll want to pack a lunch and enjoy the quiet, as you won’t likely see many other hikers on the trail.
Lavender Hills Trail
This 6.5-mile loop is also considered challenging but won’t require a full day to complete. You’ll experience stunning views of slide lake and the Tetons on this quiet trail that takes an average of 4.5 hours to complete.
Grizzly Lake Trail
The area around Red Rock Ranch is home to many high mountain lakes, including Grizzly Lake. Just a few miles south of the ranch, you’ll find the trailhead where you can embark on an 8.1-mile hike. Considered a moderately challenging route, backpackers, birders, and maybe a few anglers frequent this trail.
Grab a trail map or join one of our half- or full-day guided hikes where you can experience the mountain trails and take in unparalleled Teton Mountain views.
