This view is along the trail from Oxbow Bend to Jackson Lake Lodge. This has to be one of the most photographically stunning short hikes I have ever undertaken. The views from this trail do not get enough publicity... The trail starts at the horse stables at the lodge and crosses under the highway, meanders past Christian Pond, then scampers up the hillside eventually to overlook Oxbow Bend.

When my wife and I made this hike in September, she nearly killed me as it was quite hot and the midday sun was a bit oppressive (especially with fifty pounds of camera equipment on my back)--but what rewards we were given! We could even see moose down in the waters of Oxbow Bend far below! You should also know that horse rides from the lodge go along this very same path if that mode of transportation suits you better.
