This is our third visit to Grand Teton National Park. The first two visits when we were here was pouring down rain. This time the weather was good but the experience wasn't all that great. I asked the guy at the entrance gate if we needed to make reservations on the shuttle boat across Jenny Lake to get to the Inspiration Point trailhead. He told me "no you don't need to make reservations because boat goes every 15 minutes starting at about 7:45 so you'll be fine just show up and get your ticket then." I thanked him and we went on our way to the campground to get our camping site. The next morning we went back down to the Jenny Lake information center and I asked the girl at the desk about getting tickets for the shuttle boat. She told me the shuttle boat isn't running because they're doing some repair to the trail but you can still get there by following these directions and she had a little map that she gave us. We thanked her and went to the place where we were supposed to get to this trailhead from a different location. When we started out we just crossed the bridge at the head of the trail and there was a ranger there stopping everybody to make sure that they knew the trail was completely closed up to Inspiration Point. So it was not a good experience when nobody seemed to know what was going on. Lucky for us the weather was good and the scenery was great.
