What to expect on Cache Creek (Hagen Trail) – Cache Creek loop from Jackson

The trail winds through a delightful mix of open meadows and dense, old-growth forests, offering lush canyon scenery along Cache Creek. You'll find yourself traversing both singletrack paths and sections that follow the south side of Cache Creek Road, with glimpses of the distant Teton Range and the Gros Ventre Range.
