The Heron Pond and Swan Lake Trail in Grand Teton National Park
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
From the Hermitage Point Trailhead, located at the south end of the Colter Bay Visitor Center, trails lead to Swan Lake and Heron Pond.
The 3-mile Swan Lake - Heron Pond loop is quite flat and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Parts of the trail are in the shade provided by lodgepole pine forests, which is quite welcoming in the summer.
Along the way, you will see numerous wildflowers, yellow pond lilies, hear birds, and spot wildlife such as beavers, swans and moose.
