Amphitheater Lake is a stunning high-alpine lake that sits just below the summit of Disappointment Peak at 9,698 ft. Named for the large, glacier-carved bowl that is sits in, Amphitheater Lake is an amazing place to drink some water, take photographs, and rest after the challenging hike up to it.

Amphitheater Lake is 8 miles from Grand Teton NP. The starting point is in the parking lot of Lupine Meadows and rises steeply after a short distance.

Beautiful and serene place to be! Not crowded in the morning! This is the way to go to the disappointment peak! Saw few people taking a dip!
