Lunch Tree Hill
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
Grizzly and black bears frequent the Willow Flats area directly below the hill — carry bear spray even on this short walk, and make noise if visibility is limited in the sagebrush sections.

Pro Tips
Time your visit for early morning or the hour before sunset — the light rakes across the Teton Range at low angles and transforms the view from impressive to jaw-dropping, and you'll share the hilltop with far fewer people than midday.
Grab a drink from the Mural Room lounge inside Jackson Lake Lodge before or after your walk — the bar has floor-to-ceiling windows framing nearly the same view, so you can compare your photos to the real thing from a barstool.
Bring binoculars and scan Willow Flats from the hilltop. Moose feed in the wetlands regularly, especially at dawn and dusk, and you can spot them from above without spooking them the way you would at ground level.
