Grand Teton National Park

Established in 1929 to preserve its natural beauty for future generations, Grand Teton National Park lies in the scenic mountain valley of Jackson Hole and encompasses nearly 310,000 acres of pristine wilderness.

Known worldwide for the jagged Teton Range and the towering 13,770-ft Grand Teton, the park also features numerous lakes, canyons, valleys, and miles of hiking trails through alpine terrain. Cascade Canyon, Paintbrush Canyon, and Death Canyon are among the most popular trails.

To view the park from canoe, kayak or boat, explorers may visit one of the many lakes that lie beneath the Tetons including Jenny Lake, Leigh Lake, Bradley Lake, Taggart Lake, and Phelps Lake. Jackson Lake, the largest in the park, also offers impressive views of Mount Moran, a massive granite mountain standing at 12,605 feet.

Things To Do in Grand Teton National Park 

A popular destination for kayaking, whitewater rafting, and fly-fishing, the scenic Snake River meanders through the entire length of the park offering opportunities for both adventure and relaxation.

Roads in GTNP provide non-stop scenic views of the Teton Range with ample pullouts perfect for capturing unforgettable vistas on film.

Wildlife enthusiasts will discover the park is also home to over 1,000 plant species, 300 bird species, and 60 species of majestic mammals including bison, elk, moose, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and both black and grizzly bear who are even more commonly spotted in nearby Yellowstone Park to the north.
