A series of switchbacks leads to the lakes, and summer is the perfect time to enjoy wildflowers along the way.

This hike provides views of lakes and several views of the surrounding mountains.
Surprise Lake is the lowest of the two lakes.
By venturing north of Amphitheater Lake, hikers will be rewarded with a nice view of Delta Lake.
Great views of the Teton Range are one of the many rewards on this beautiful hike.
Disappointment Peak, Mount Owen, and Tweeniot Mountain.
The Jackson Hole Valley is within view for many of the switchbacks.
With a bit of luck, there will be some wildlife along the way, but don't expect them to hang around for too long!
