good time

By taureau44 |

spent almost two days inside the Grand Teton National Park,had wonderful time,i have no complaint, everything went smooth and nice, very clean,as far for the wild animals, during the day I saw nothing, but after sunset, and started to be dark, I saw couple bears, moose,deers,fox but overall it was a nice experience and trip

Great views, truly relaxing. Snake river activities are exciting. Also see Jackson Hole.

By Spat12345 |

Amazing views. Great place for a family vacation. Combine it with Yellowstone National Park. Jenny lake trail is amazing.

Beautiful Park

By The_Wanderer1992 |

Since we came directly from Yellowstone, we were pleasantly surprised when we did not have to go through the visitor entrance for Grand Teton. To see some of the recommended spots in the park, such as Moose Wilson road, you actually have to leave the park and if you want to come back in, you have to go back through an entrance. Luckily, traffic was not backed up for miles like other parks, so it was not too bad when reentering. The Jenny Lake visitor center has traffic parked a half mile down the road, so we opted out of visiting the Jenny Lake area. We did, however, drive down the Jenny Lake scenic route which gave pretty views. The other recommended spots that we also enjoyed was the Mormon Row Historic District which has a picturesque barn that has a great photo op of a barn with the Teton mountains in the background which is a popular spot for sunrise. There is also a chapel with the Teton mountains in the background called the Chapel of the Transfiguration. Perhaps it was too late in the day, but we saw one bison in the distance and a squirrel (or mouse) eating food from the ground next to our car as the only two animals. Compared to Yellowstone, this park is not as crowded, but in my opinion, it offers just as good of views and should not be skipped.

Magnificent

By Pitt-Duq |

This mountain range is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever come across. As we rode along this stretch of mountains every mile was more beautiful than the last. It was a wonderful experience to travel all along this range.

Nice park if you like to hike

By KarenM1_10 |

We came here after viewing Yellowstone, which was amazing. If you like to hike, come here. We toured by car and exited the car infrequently due to time constraints, so we likely didn’t get the full experience possible. It was beautiful but we couldn’t help making comparisons to the other parks we visited, which we found to be even more interesting and beautiful.

Has to Been Seen

By bdhall61 |

Pictures do not do this place justice, you have to see it. I've been to 7 countries and 47 states and this place is defiantly one of the most beautiful places I've been.

Not family friendly. One of the ignored under developed places that has potential

By Anuprita M |

It is not family friendly place. Jenny lake has horrible parking, food or restrooms facilities. It does not deserve the attention just because there are few good mountains. It looks like the park authorities do not care about facilities. There are so many other places to get good views of mountains and still be able to enjoy. Horrible place to visit. Would not recommend.

The best place in the world to visit

By 643sydneyf |

Spend a week and see the Raptor Exhibit in Wilson, go white water rafting with Dave Hanson, go fishing with Orvis, climb the Grand Teton with Exum, drive up to Yellowstone for a day, stay at the Antler Inn or at Teton Village, eat at The Gun Barrel, The Virginian and the Bunnery, take the boat across Jenny Lake and hike up Cascade Canyon, take the Gondola ride up to the top of the mountain and have a drink, and just enjoy the scenery.

Spectacular

By Jennifer P |

Me and my 13 yo grandson spent two days in GTNP in July and I wish I had more time. The scenery is absolutely spectacular. Go early to avoid traffic at the gate; we were in the park by 7 a.m. We couldn’t do a lot of hiking because I have a bad knee but that didn’t detract from the trip at all. We loved it! The most traffic we saw was at Jenny Lake and it was very, very crowded with lots of people parked on the side of the road. I planned this trip in my head for 10 years and I was not disappointed. I’ll be going back soon and if you are thinking about going, do it! You won’t be disappointed.

Soaring mountains and intimate trails

By Brendan S |

Grand Tetons is overshadowed by nearby Yellowstone, but is worth visiting in its own right. The main feature of Grand Tetons is the mountain peaks, which can be seen from the roads, as well as up close on the many miles of backcountry trails. The highlights included stunning Taggart Lake and beautiful Hidden Falls. The trails at Grand Tetons are not as crowded as those at Yellowstone, and I think it's no coincidence that I saw a black bear and a moose here rather than at Yellowstone. This is also a more manageable park than Yellowstone. While you could spend a week hiking the trails, you can also hit the highlights in just a few hours.

Stunning

By lucycan |

I've been a LOT of places in the west and I am certain the view of this range is as good as it gets. Simply stunning. Actually the best views are from Rt 191 near Elk.

Great Park

By dgdssdish d |

Lots to see and do in the Tetons.Jenny lake Cascade Canyon and the Snake River are just a few of the breathtaking sights. Lots of wildlife on the trails when we were there too.

Beautiful Snow Mountain View

By Bennett |

Very great long trails around the mountain. Beautiful lakes and grassland. The lake is nearby the mountain, and the scenery is great. The trails are all around the snow mountains.

Beautiful

By emily m |

We spent all our time at Yellowstone but couldn’t resist going home through the Grand Tetons. I’m so glad we did. The mountains are amazing.

Lovely Winter visit

By Justine28 |

Visited Grand Teton National Park in late December when most of the attractions were closed, and during ‘winter storm’ conditions, and it was still very worth a visit despite the heavy clouds. Stayed in Jackson Hole and it was a good and lively choice during Winter. We managed to do a Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake snowshoe hike (getting to trailhead requires park pass), had lunch at Dornan’s in Moose (sadly no views as it was a white-out), and did the scenic Tetons and Antelope Flats drive which allowed us to see moose close to the road, some bison, and to admire the views from some of the lookout points. Unfortunately, we didn’t see/hike to Jenny Lake trail as it was too far on foot to the trailhead in the worsening weather and the road to Colter Bay had very little visibility, so we had to turn around. Despite the challenging Winter conditions and closures, it was great to see a small portion of the park during Winter. Highly recommended!

Breathtaking beauty!

By DLA |

Even more beautiful than I imagined. The scenery, the hikes, the animals, the history all incredible. Highly recommend visiting this park in conjunction with Yellowstone. Trip of a lifetime!
I did a mix of guided tours and on my own. The guided tours help you to find the best viewing spots for animals. Do carry bear spray if you hike outside of a group. They are everywhere.

Yellowstone return route

By Leonard D |

Beautifl place and well worth the journey to get there. Lots of pic opportunites. Bring binoculars, views of the mountains are awesome.

Beautiful Park

By Sean H |

Mountain views and wildlife viewing is incredible. Saw grizzlies, moose, elk, pronghorn antelope, and bison. Snow still on mountains in May.

vacaion

By 831patriciar |

we drove thru after spending time in yellowstone park. beautiful road that drives thru.we did miss the road we were looking for that would of gotten us closer. roads are not clearly marked. no place to get a map of the area. there are pull offs along the way to stop and take photos

Fantastic park

By funkdoctor8 |

It's like the little brother to Yellowstone, but arguably it's prettier. Yellowstone has a more diverse landscape, but the lakes and mountain ranges, and the hikes, in Grand Tetons were some of the prettiest I've seen. Highly recommend making the trip

Beautiful, Natural America

By bobber84mn |

We were able to spend one day at the Grand Teton National Park. We arrived early morning and made many stops for photo opportunities. The mountain ranges are unbelievable. When looking at photos, you would think that they are photoshopped! And photos don't do it justice. I would encourage EVERYONE to make a trip to see the Tetons!

In the heart of Wyoming

By julian070886 |

Grand Teton National Park is a beautiful park in Wyoming. There's something for everyone. You can go hiking, cycling, climbing, water sports and much more..

Nature is unique here.

Grand Teton National Park

By Dhruv |

Grand Teton National Park is a large national park in Wyoming. The city of Jackson Hole is quite close to the park. We stayed at Colter Bay, near Jackson Lake. There are many things to do in the park. We went Kayaking on Jackson Lake. You can just push off from the swim beach, or use a boat ramp. (You first have to get your boat inspected for invasive species. This costs $25, and the inspection is mandatory.) We also did the ferry boat on Jenny Lake to go to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. The ferry is not free, but there is a 2 mile or 5 mile hike to get to the same place. The view from Inspiration Point is amazing, and the hike to get up is a little steep, and is about 1 mile. Also, the ferry stops if there is lightning in the area, so make sure to check the weather. In the town of Jackson Hole, there is a great ice cream place called Moo's. The Huckleberry Ice Cream there is really good. You can see some really great wildlife in Grand Teton. If you want to see elk and moose, you should come in the late fall/ early winter. The views of the mountains are also really good.

Spectacular but...

By StevoinMinnesoto |

Very soon after you drive south into the park from Yellowstone you come to the Colter Bay visitor center. From the parking lot and all hikes in the area you are blown away by the view of Grand Teton and Mount Moran. We took a hike around the visitor center and along the lake and even on a cloudy day it was beautiful. That being said, for our money, the 2 mountains are about the only spectacular sights in this park. We did the entire loop road and once you get far enough east, it is pretty unspectacular.

Phelps Lake Overlook hike is NOT easy - YMMV - consider hiking poles

By MNwalker |

The Phelps Lake Overlook hike is NOT easy - for over 65 yo with just-ok knees, from the Midwest's modest hills. We tried this hike, based on a guidebook comment that this 2 mile round-trip hike would be suitable for a family with children and also the NPS description of this as "easy. What I failed to understand in the NPS description was "average" elevation incline of 11%, and the amount of hiking needed just to reach the trailhead from parking - 1/2 mile or more of gavel road, also uphill, which was reasonably easy. We gave up after more than an hour of increasingly steeper walking from the trailhead, including hundreds of rock stair steps. We have a couple of nice photos of Teton views thru the pine trees - no lake views. Hikers coming down the trail as we & others climbed gave varying answers to "how far do we still have to go" -- estimates ranged from "3/4 there" to "2 miles to go" Other older hikers climbing the trail commented that their hiking poles were very helpful (we did not have). We were glad that we'd used mosquito repellant spray - lots of hungry biting bugs flying around but only 1 bite each.

Magnificent...

By SunriseAddicted |

Otherworldly, really. A must see in the USA... We did the 45 mile backcountry trek in 5 days and 4 nights. Scattered groups of other trekkers, amazing sights and wildlife.

Good if you like hiking

By Jessica M |

OK so I should preface this by saying I didn't do a ton of research before we went here. I didn't realize that the main thing people do here is hike. I'm not a big hiker. The views were beautiful, but the further into the park you went, the less of them you had. The lakes were pretty. Everything was fairly crowded. Idk. I think it wasn't for me. I had a better experience at Yellowstone. BUT, if you're a hiker, this is a great place for you!

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS...no matter the weather!

By Sara J |

Teton is one of my favorite national parks. The views are absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We visited on a very rainy day in June and it was cool to see the park in a moody light. We traveled with our three young children and even they thought the hiking was beautiful and entertaining in the rain. We did not see much wildlife in the rain this day, but the String Lake and Leigh Lake trails are great for families with young children that still provide beautiful lake and mountain views. I recommend using the All Trails app as well, it is easy to see how far you are along the trail, if your crew is able to hike the entire trail or if you'd need to turn around and head back.

Gorgeous mountains/ lakes

By TripPhotographer52 |

We went here with some friends who live nearby and loved it. We did not get to explore it all but enjoyed where we went. I had bought a life time senior pass many years ago and used it again. The mountain ranges were wonderful and could be seen from many directions. We loved Jenny Lake and took many photos.

Nothing better than this

By Fluttering B |

I wanted to visit the Grand Teton National Park my whole life and finally did - now I understand why people visit and decide to live nearby. Breathtaking!

Gorgeous Grand Teton

By Charity C |

If you have an opportunity to head to the Grand Tetons, don't hesitate! Gorgeous mountains, great hiking and much better weather than summers down south!!

Stunning scenery, poor vehicle management

By DaiW |

This has got to be one of the most stunning locations in the US and is a must visit for anyone who is in this area. I appreciate that it is a very popular park and receives lots of visitors, so even more reason to have better vehicle management in the parking areas, it was chaos. People were basically abandoning their cars and causing problems. Could have been a smoother experience of there were staff on hand to manage.

Get a map and take your time exploring

By TravelingBum10 |

Beautiful park with miles of overlooks. Tons of trails you can hike. If you get lucky you might see some wild life. We only saw deer, elk and bison.

I didn’t see a Bear

By Joewashere2 |

I hiked around Jenny Lake and photographed the sunset. The next day I drove around the park, looking for fantastic views and animals. But please be careful driving, pay attention don’t hit the animals or each other. Have fun.

"Grand and Majestic"

By Raquel7777 |

We only had two hours to have a very quick look at this beautiful area. It was worth it. Hope someday soon we will have an opportunity to explore more of this marvelous park.

Wyoming trip!

By Roy P |

We went to Jackson Hole with our adult boys. We visited Grand Teton as part of the trip. Well worth it. The range is beautiful. Everything you do around there the Tetons are the backdrop and is just majestic. You cannot go wrong with a visit.

It's all too much!! Trip of a lifetime. Don't miss it.

By Hooked_on_travel77 |

The beauty here is unreal and it's all been said in the reviews posted here .September after Labor Day was busy but manageable. A good time to visit. Here are just a few of the many photos we took during our 3 day visit.

Grand Teton Does worth this name

By Steefozo |

One of the amazing places that we visted during our 30 day trip to USA, very nice and interesting and we were just lucky because it has started to snow just the day we arrived at Yellow stone , so the by time we reached Teton it was covered with snow - just see the photos and you could tell how much glory it was ...

Beautiful

By Amber B |

Nice stop on way to Yellowstone. Colter bay campground has some great sites
Beautiful scenery and easy check in.

May is the best month

By Liz S |

We visited Grand Teton National Park in the third week of May and our timing was perfect. Jenny Lake had just opened days before waiting for the icy lake to melt. The vista was beautiful and doing a little hiking was met was slush and snow. Not good for an inexperienced hiker ( walker)! Plenty of beautiful spots for pictures.

Not as crowded as Yellowstone.

By Michael S |

This was my second time here. The first time it was cloudy. This time it was sunny.
Because of all the traffic in Yellowstone National Park, I had less time to do things here. I had intended to go to the top of Signal Mountain Road and do a short hike, but time didn't allow for it. Would recommend it though, if you have time, at least based upon what saw in an online preview.
Basically, I did a drive through. Unlike Yellowstone, though, this place was not crowded. Of course you could stop at any pullout and get incredible views, and that's about all I did. The scenery will *not* disappoint.

Beautiful Scenery

By Joan G |

We drove through in the evening. The scenery with mountains was breathtaking! We saw a grizzly in the distance!

*This was a family trip with adults. The only choices were family with teenager, or family with young children, so I chose the 1st.

Stunningly beautiful

By Christine R. |

Absolutely gorgeous! Views are to die for and must hike around Jenny Lake. Alpine meadows, snow capped mountains, crystal clear lake- even saw two huge moose!

Spectacular Lakes, Mountains & Forest

By ninettejohnson |

Strikenly beautiful park with the lakes, mountains & forest. The park is a relaxing & calming place. As we’re only here for half a day we asked advice from the Ranger which area to visit.
Jackson lake is so beautiful with different trails around Colter Bay where there is a very useful & informative Visitor Centre.
I highly recommend the park & wished we could have stayed longer.

Gorgeous, beautiful, stunning views

By Turbo_Todd |

Great views, gorgeous lake, its high altitude so the water is cold most of the time, but lots of people swimming. Fishing was harder to come by, so we moved farther up from the main areas to fish and the bottom is kinda rocky. The views of the mountains and lakes are spectacular though. We were warned about bears several times here, so plan accordingly.

Gorgeous

By John379 |

Outstanding place to visit for hiking or just a beautiful drive around the park. We saw plenty of animals and the mountains are breathtaking.

Majestic View

By payelchakravorti |

Grand Teton National Park is situated in Wyoming state in the USA & very close to the Yellowstone National Park. The snow capped spiky mountain bestows a celestial beauty to it’s beholder. Lush green valley in front of the snowy sierra looks like a sprawling carpet. Rimmed with long & strong pine trees, this national park is the habitat of some special birds like bald eagle, osprey etc. Cheeky squirrel jaunts everywhere & the nexus between wild life & nature is preserved organically.Reflection of this white beauty on torrential Lake Lewis creates a dramatic graceful view.Our respite here was a pure bliss & brought us very close to the unadulterated nature

Such Beautiful Mountains!

By Paul J |

We stayed near the park in Idaho and traveled there two days. The trip to the park and around some of the scenic
roads was about two hundred miles per day! We hiked quite a few of the short paths, and saw fewer than expected animals. Stay in the park if you can and get up and around early!

Hiking, Wildlife, and beautiful Mountain View’s

By Jeff H |

Views were amazing, September brought awesome colors of the willows and the Aspens! We especially liked the Taggart lake trail, String Lake and Leigh Lake trails. The best trail was the Jenny Lake trail to Hidden Falls and Inspiration point, amazing views of Jenny Lake!

To see moose, drive through at dusk!!

By Samantha M |

We were originally supposed to do a wildlife sleigh ride, but it was cancelled for low snow conditions. First week in December and they had snow, but not enough. So we decided to drive the national park. Go on a clear or mostly clear day for stunning views of the Grand Tetons mountain range. During the afternoon we didn't see much wildlife...apparently they lay down and rest during the afternoon. We went to see Mormon row and the famous Moulton barns. We drove past Kelly, and had a fabulous lunch at Dornan's in Moose. Then decided to take one last drive through the park on our way home. We put the Science School in as our destination as we heard it was a moose hot spot...But once we got out on the park's open roads, it was easy to see the moose at far distances. We spotted three different moose groups. It was amazing. One group was by the road so we were able to get a close (yet safe) distance away. I took zoomed in pictures sticking out of the car's sunroof. Seeing the moose with the sun was setting over the amazing Grand Tetons was beyond stunning.

Incredible mountain views

By BillUsma74 |

It’s a drive from West Yellowstone MT through Yellowstone NP but shorter than driving through Idaho to get there. Incredibly pretty views! The mountains are higher and more dramatic than Yellowstone. It’s an all day activity even if you are only driving.

Grand Teton National Park

By Suitcase and a Map |

Grand Teton National Park is nothing short of stunning!

Tip:Get the free Grand Teton NPS app. When given the option to download it for offline use, do it. Cell service in the park is very spotty. With the app, you'll be able to see exactly where you are in the park, as well as, road closures and upcoming stops. 

Just a few must see's: Oxbow Bend - It's a stunning view and you'll get an amazing picture of Mount Moran
Mormon Row - To see the famous barn in person is a can't miss
Church of the Transfiguration - Built in 1925, the Chapel was built to frame the Cathedral Group with a large window behind the alter. It's an incredibly peaceful place that will awe you. 
Jenny Lake - Jenny Lake is probably the most popular location within Grand Teton National Park. There are a ton of activities, hikes and overlooks that you won't want to miss. From Teton Park Road, you will see a sign for the Jenny Lake Overlook. If you hike around Jenny Lake to get to Inspiration Point. If you are short on time you can take a boat across Jenny Lake

A beautiful smaller National Park, geared to the active outdoor enthusiast

By CFR |

A wonderful National Park that caters to the rustic outdoors person in all.
We visited this park after seeing Yellowstone National Park. Like many do, it's a short hop into the Tetons from Yellowstone.
However, there is a big difference between the two parks.
While Yellowstone "softens" the exploration of nature through the park with many developed villages and conveniences such as paved walkways, eating establishments, bathroom facilities, organized routes to attractions, and throughout the park. The Grand Tetons offer much less to the visitor in such amenities. It is a park geared towards the more rustic side of outdoor enjoyment.
Although it is smaller as well, there are fewer places to stay in the park itself. Less rest stop locations and fewer large centralized groomed attractions.
Its beauty is stunning, and the Teton mountain range is maginficent. Exploration of the park is often via multiple road turnouts or site pull-ins off two main roadways. Highway 89 runs through it. Much of the park could be considered, back country, lake and range. Great for hard-core outdoor activity.
Even Jenny Lake, which is a groomed organized park, including a gift shop/store, rr's and visitor center can be deceiving when taking the parks' ferry ride to see the hidden falls across the lake. You are immediately left off in the back country on the other side. Those without water, fit enough, or prepared are in for a terrible surprise to hike up the steep incline to visit the falls. It is not an accessible feature/ location at all. We watched as a women who had fallen over a root on the pathway and injured her knee, stumbled down with her people's assistance to get back to the ferry to get help back on the other side. There are many people who go up anyway and look completely exhausted when coming back to the ferry. Likely ones who shouldn't have walked up in the first place.
Despite the primitive nature of the park, and it's lack of true "accessibilty" it is a beautiful place. If fishing, boating, repelling, camping, and serious hiking are some of your interests, the Tetons will call you out.
It also has some lovely scenic drives throughout the park. It is a park definitely worth passing through or staying in. Its beauty is enchanting. Just remember, to plan accordingly.

3 nights of beauty

By Luv_traveling0 |

This park is very easy to navigate -- 2 main roads and so much to see. We are hikers so ventured forth before sunrise each morning to get a parking spot at the popular hikes, took a float trip, enjoyed good food and relaxing amongst the gorgeous peaks.

Wonderfully Scenic

By jlstewart914 |

Enjoyed the scenic drive along the lakes and mountains. The trail to Inspiration Point was outstanding with incredible views along the way.

Amazing

By mysharona1970 |

We spent almost three days and felt it was enough time to see it all. Overall stunning views and yes Jenny Lake is so cute we loved it! Download the GyPSy app and for $9.99 you can listen to commentary on both Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Best ten bucks I've spent in a really long time. It was like have our own tour guide - Stan we nicknamed him!

Grand Teton.

By Lisa |

I don't have a favourite because it was all so amazing and that's the truth. We carried on to Yellowstone but the Tetons will always be my favourite.

Grand Tetons

By lithlith |

Grand Teton is a beautiful park with lots of mountain views. IF you can find parking, some of the hikes are great, but parking fills up by 8am, so arrive early if that's on your list of must do things. Otherwise, drive through the park and stop at the pullouts to take great mountain photos.

Amazing scenery

By David and Josie |

We had an awesome visit.The mountains are amazing.There are so many areas to see and take photos.Many places to go hiking,bike riding, fishing,walking,looking for wildlife or just driving.We happen to see moose,elk,badger,big horn sheep, pronghorn and rabbits.This is a place to not to be missed.I would say to get to the park early as lots fill up fast.You can always find parking you may just have to walk a little further as the day goes by.We recommend highly.

Winter Wonderland

By danamc01 |

Most things are closed for Winter. You can go into two separate entrances and see all the glorious sights.It is undisturbed winter beauty. We saw some moose and some trumpeter swans. We enjoyed both drives at each entrance. You will need 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive to do these routes. Take it slow and enjoy the vistas. We went all the way to Flagg Ranch one day.

Dream Vacation in Jackson, Wy

By Nancy B |

We loved all the wide open spaces and beautiful scenery of Jackson National Park. Thank you National Park Service and all supporting businesses in the area. July 2023 visit

Simply Stunning

By Sam W |

The views in this park are arresting. Taking in the Teton, range, it can be difficult to look away it is so beautiful. We have visited many national parks out west, and without taking anything away from them, the views here cannot be beat. A bucket list national park for sure.

Breathtaking mountains, lots of activities

By NashLover |

We began seeing the snowcapped mountains of GTNP over an hour away (coming from W. Yellowstone) and were amazed at how distinct & grand they were. We would highly recommend coming in through Idaho, that way from W.Yellowstone, to see the magnificent farms with the Tetons in the background. We loved all the areas to stop and sightsee. We know the natural growth of the landscape is to help things be better but it looks nasty (and unkept) and it creates terrible mosquitoes & biting bugs for those of us visiting the park. I was eaten up, even using bug spray, and saw tons of people complaining about all the bugs that were eating them alive with bug spray on. We did horseback riding & that was fun through backwoods of the park but saw lots in the park that would've been nice to ride and see the mountains. 2-3 days is the most you need in this park. Great riding trails for e-bikes, too.

GRAND!

By Edwelsh |

This youngest of U.S. mountain range, with the Grand Teton reaching 13,770 feet above sea level and over a mile above our heads while standing at the lookouts. It is quite an impressive site that leaves a lasting impression. I say this from experience, i was just a kid when I first saw them and I still remember the awe. I’m just sad that it took me 56 years to get back here. Don’t wait, go soon.

An Inspirationally Beautify National Park

By Munro1954 |

Every view is spectacular. Impossible to take a bad photo.
Natural Beauty and wildlife abound.
NOT TO BE MISSED!

What a beautiful park!

By 이안 여행 |

You can see a lot of things. While I could only stay in the park for a day, I was able to visit various places, including the 42-mile Teton Loop, including Mormon Row, Oxbow Bend, Snake River Overlook, Chapel of the Transfiguration, Chapel of the Sacred Heart, and Schwabacher's Landing. When we arrived at Jenny Lake, we parked in Jenny Lake Overlook because there was no place to park. Considering how crowded Jenny Lake is compared to other parts of the park, it is recommended to arrive early to avoid crowds. We arrived at 1 p.m. We made a must-see raft tour along Snake River before driving along the circle.

Breathtaking

By ginacee1 |

This is a must visit if you are ever in the area. Just gorgeous and I never wanted to leave. Being from SW Lousiana we do not have this kinda scenery..lol
We used our America the beautiful pass to enter and spent a good part of the morning just driving and using the pull outs to take pictures. Just breathtaking

Mountains, lakes and moose

By Ute S |

Campground: Lizard Creek, Campsite 34 has lake view, reservation recommended, toilets have running water, shower facilities in nearby Colter Bay!

Who brings time: Boat rental on Jackson Lake with great views! No boat license necessary!

Alternatively: Hike to Hidden Falls at Jenny Lake with stop at Moose Pond, we really saw moose!

possible return trip by boat

Absolutely breathtaking

By Dad-O |

We made sure we spent some time in the Grand Tetons as part of our trip to Yellowstone. We knew two days was not going to be enough, but we were so glad that we made this happen. That just means we will have to come back again. The mountains were so spectacular that they looked fake, especially at dusk. There isn't a bad spot to view them and it almost got monotonous because every mile you drove, the view changed and it looked just as amazing as the last mile. We wanted to take a thousand pictures. There is so much to do in the area and if you don't feel like doing anything, you can just find a comfy spot and sit and admire the beauty.

Beauty at its best!!

By kantbyluv |

Beautiful sites lots of pulloffs on the road to stop and take photos and beautiful drive through the entire park. I enjoyed this park better than yellowstone.

Grand Tetons National Park

By katbob101 |

There is something about this area that is majestic. There are no foothills to the Grand Tetons so you feel like they rise from the valley to the heavens. Just amazing. Put the Gypsies App on your phone and follow the directions it gives and find out so much about the area, environment and wildlife. Bump into bears, elk and bison along your adventure. Just magnificent.

So Beautiful You’ll Flip Out

By Cryptic_Tourist |

Guys...what else can I say other than it’s beautiful. It’s a very easy park to drive through, a little dusty and rough on car at some points but nothing too bad. Lots of easy stops and pull-offs to see. Great photos! Don’t miss Mormon Row or Schwabacher Landing!!

Take your time

By Ron C |

We had only one day to spend here, but wished we had given ourselves more time. The morning was a bit rainy, so we did not get to do some of the trails we had planned, but, we still had a marvelous time. The Tetons are breathtaking! Just enjoy the drive and the view

just beautiful

By koabug |

The park wasn't too crowded in mid-june. We could find parking at most of the lookouts. The scenery was just gorgeous.

Highly Recommend

By Traveler1959-123 |

Be sure and download travel guide to know what to look for at each stop. This is a great national treasure!

Beautiful Mountain & Views

By Empty Nesters |

We only spent an afternoon in this area, but really wish we would have spent another day. Signal Mountain Road is well worth taking for the views and Jenny Lake was spectacular.

Majestic

By Colleen C |

We ventured into this National Park after the hours of the Visitor Center and drove from the East entrance to the South Entrance. At these two entrance there was no check point to pay entrance fees. This road is open year round ~ while visiting in April the roads in the middle and North end of Grand Teton remained closed from the winter months. From the roads that were open you can get the sense of the beauty from the snow capped mountains and lands.

Pretty Nice Views

By D L |

Beautiful sites. Numerous hiking trails, but not for the older folks. The trails can be rocky and uneven. Recommend walking sticks. Good pull outs on the roads to get your picks. Must arrive early to park close to trail heads; can be very busy.

Great Park

By Leandro S |

From our hotel in Jackson Grand Teton National Park provided much of what Yellowstone had to offer without the much longer drive. Took a hike to the Hidden falls and cascade canyon, which had great views (Inspiration Point) and some animals (deer), and also did a river tour of the snake river, were we saw some bald eagles and amazing views of the peaks. Not as many animals as was expecting, but it's likely we just had bad luck.

Stunning!

By Bethany D |

We loved our time in GTNP! Stunning views everywhere you look. We saw tons of wildlife - moose, elk, pronghorn, bison, fox, beaver and a grizzly. Our 6yr old loved the least chipmunks - curious and spunky little things! We tackled hikes to Hidden Falls/Inspiration Point, Taggert Lake and Phelps Lake. String Lake was a great location to do a little splashing (but very cold!). We're from the east coast and I highly recommend not adjusting to the local time and getting an early start (it helped a lot with the crowds). While some trailhead parking lots were full and overflowing, there were still plenty of opportunities to escape people.

Picture-perfect serenity

By Alacrout |

There are plenty of stunningly beautiful national parks in the USA, each a special place in their own way—including Yellowstone, right next door to Grand Teton...

...But of all the national parks I’ve been to (I’ve visited 17 different ones as of writing this review), very few inspired unbridled awe as quickly as Grand Teton did.

I went for a morning hike by Jenny Lake and was absolutely captivated by the reflection of Grand Teton over the water.

It was quite possibly the most picture-perfect serene place I’ve ever been to.

If you’re in the area, whether to ski or visit Yellowstone, Grand Teton is a must-stop. You definitely won’t regret it.

Spectacular landscape

By Don H |

Our first visit to this majestic mountain range towering above the Jackson Hole area. Unfortunately during our 2 day visit the mountains were shadowed by smoke and haze from the western forest fires. We did however manage to snap some photos the closer we were able to get near the mountains. Viewing the Snake River up close was another highlight.

Beautiful, but underwhelmed

By Sam |

My mom and I visited Grand Teton during a 10 day trip from Washington to Florida and we are glad we stopped, but are also glad that it was only half a day!

We started our day early in Yellowstone and drove into Grand Teton from the north end.

We stopped at multiple scenic points to take pictures, especially the famed Mormon Row, and got some great pictures.

We were disappointed that we did not see any wildlife (bears, moose, elk, etc.) but figured that was because we stayed on the main roads.

To me, this seems like a park that is more focused on the "off-road" things like hiking, boating, and kayaking.

Overall, we were underwhelmed, honestly, since it seemed like we just looked at the same mountain range from different spots over and over. Maybe the experience would have been different with some hikes/walks, but we only had a limited amount of time to explore before heading to Jackson Hole for the evening!

Amazing National Park

By Anne O |

Grand Teton is one of the most beautiful national parks that I have visited. Kudos to the Rockefeller family for bringing it into existence. Jenny Lake, Cathedral Peaks, many overlooks provide inspiring beauty. Postings throughout the park offer insight into its historical and geological history. Beautiful foliage and wildlife sightings add to the memorable experience.

Beautiful National Park with postcard views everywhere

By bcasey1 |

Beautiful hikes, beautiful sights. I can't wait to see it all again. We walked the 2 1/2 miles from the main entrance to Jenny Lake to the waterfall and boat ramp, then paid the $10pp to do a one way return boat ride. Fun to see the views from the walking paths and from the lake. Afterwards we drove to all the scenic overlooks, lakes etc. And had a wonderful couple days.

Gorgeous scenery, as usual, but the Nat. Pk. Service didn't have the ability to keep things open.

By traveler7440 |

You can't beat the scenery of Grand Teton, but with millions of visitors over the year the Park Service didn't keep restaurants or accommodations open within the park which greatly added to problems trying to visit the place. If places could be open in Jackson like they were there's no reason the government couldn't have kept places open within the park. To us it seems like usual government incompetence. It was the same for Yellowstone as many people told us.

Beautiful scenery

By ThrishSunil |

We visited grand Teton national park on 24th of April 2021. The drive to grand Teton national park was awesome. The mountains looked beautiful. As we planned to visit Yellowstone after grand Teton; we purchased a one day pass for $15. Walking with little kids was tough in the cold weather, we went halfway to Jenny lake but turned back.
I would definitely come when the roads are open to check the whole park.

Beautiful Mountains As Far As the Eye Can See

By PandaHouston |

During our 2 week road trip across Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Oregon, we visited multiple National Parks. Grand Teton NP was the most accessible. Conveniently located near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we flew into JAC Jackson Airport and within the hour, we were in the park!

Spent 2 days in Grand Teton with an array of options for trails (we did Taggart Lake) and we even took a boat ride on Jenny Lake. Even driving the 42 mile scenic loop you are afforded beautiful views and there are plenty of turn outs.

Amazing views

By The432Nomad |

We got into the park a little late on the first day and was able to take the Teton Park Rd., North past Jenny week and Leigh lake where it met up with 191 and 26. The first day was mostly sitting drives on Teton Park Road past the lakes. While at Jenny Lake we got word that Bear # 399 was running around the snake river with her four cubs. This itself is a miracle for a grizzly to have four cubs. The next day was spent climbing into Delta lake. We made the mistake of not seeing the Helen that was placed on the trail head leading into the lake and ended up going all the way up to disappointment peak. This was an additional two extra hours of climbing but well worth the view.

Beautiful!

By Palmers Mimi |

Absolutely breathtaking and does not disappoint to see all the glory of God again! We enjoyed it and see the glory of God with the breathtaking views

Beautiful National Park

By KirkRB |

You can see much of the park in 1 full day by going around the main loop. You must include a stop at Jenny Lake. Like many people, we took the shuttle to the other side to shorten the hike up to Inspiration Point. (BTW, the bathrooms at this stop were the largest and cleanest of any we encountered in YS or GT.) There are many turn outs along the loop for great pictures. If you decide to drive up the road to the top of Signal Mountain, be aware there is a small parking lot before you reach the top. Continue past this to get to the top and see a sweeping view of the entire valley below. (This last part of the road did not show up on Google Maps, so we were a little worried.) This last part is also narrower than most of the road before it.

Amazing National Park

By DQShaw |

Love this place, such natural beauty and a amazing variety of wildlife. Lots of scenic drives with places to pull over and enjoy the views of beautiful lakes and mountains. Lots of well marked trails from easy to strenuous.

2 days

By Chevyjlewis |

We spent 2 days here and can't wait to go back. 1 day would be enough if you aren't swimming or hiking

Bucket klist item checked off

By Michael K |

Fabulous hikes, scenic loops, sights and wildlife sightings. spent two and halfdays touring the park and wished we had more time. Definitely a must see and experience in your lifetime.

Wildlife and beautiful scenery

By Josh R |

Enjoyed waiting for wildlife. Google a map. Easy drive through. Lots of pull outs to take pictures. Amazing views and great photo ops

Must visit this place if you also visit Yellowstone

By Adam J |

Must visit this place if you are visiting Yellowstone. Several very nice places to take an hour or two hike.

Spectacular Scenery

By TaraB0997 |

The Grand Tetons offers a lot for each visitor. We stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge and really enjoyed the views from the main building. Also, did a rafting trip on the Snake River and visited Jenny Lake.

Breathtaking views!

By Amy Y |

We explored the Grand Teton National Park while we were camping at Yellowstone and wow was it worth it!! This place is gorgeous!! Every place is beautiful and jaw dropping. It was suggest going counter clockwise when entering into the park and it was great, especially when visiting String Lake and Jenny Lake which is a one way loop. We chose which stops we wanted to look at and even ate our picnic at one of the pull offs. Highly recommend visiting this amazing, beautiful place!

Simply magnificent

By jesse o |

While much more popular in the summer and with clear visibility more likely then, even so, Teton Park is spellbinding. This is the youngest range of mountains in North American, rising abruptly from the valley of Jackson Hole with no foothills. In the winter, ranger led snow shoe hikes or cross country skiing in the park are delightful diversions from a week of skiing or snowboarding. In fact, many come only for wildlife tours and sleigh rides or dogsledding just outside of the park and never even strap on a board or two whilst here! It is a breathtaking locale I hope you find.

Grand Teton

By 387indy |

Growing up I visited the smokey mountains with my parents, the Teon Range is much different. The Teton range is saw toothed, they are snow capped. You don't drive through them, they are tall, steep, rugged, more something you scale.

Splendid views and enjoyable hikes

By DRGPL |

Splendid! Beautiful! Wonderful! Seeing the views makes you feel all of the above. We also did hiking in some of the trails and floating in the snake river … we liked it!

Amazing Experience

By IDWP |

Snow-covered mountains, waterfalls, wildlife, and amazing views make this a great National Park to visit. Everyone talks about Yellowstone, but Grand Teton is also spectacular.

Can be a hike to get there

By TheFamGuy1 |

Look up the less popular sites for gems. If coming through the pass, check the traffic report before you leave - construction has closed the drive and reduced it to one lane several times. Not any real wildlife to see if you stick with the popular sites.

One of the prettiest sceneries in the world

By Anda A |

Unfortunately we only spent 1 day in Grand Teton, however it was enough to realize this is one of the most beautiful natural parks in the world. If you don't have much time to explore this beautiful park, you can visit my blog (link in my bio) for top 5 things to see in my opinion. But if you do, I definitely suggest at least one hike, probably about Jenny Lake. The views of Tetons are awesome all the way, and if you are lucky with the weather you will be rewarded with spectacular reflections in lakes and rivers. Definitely recommend this park, I liked it even more than its neighbour Yellowstone.

Beautiful views and lots to do!

By Sara T |

Our first time here, and was spectacular. There are lots of hikes all levels. Jackson isn’t that far when you want civilization. We stayed near park at Gros Ventre, lovely RV Park! We saw lots of wildlife wild life. The moose were fabulous!

Amazing

By Lisamb1 |

We visited in second week of October during the Covid pandemic. It was stunning! We were past the fall colors and it was cooler (30-50 degree days with some Rain and snow) but even with some clouds and rain, it was beautiful! We drove the loop more than once stopping at many of the stops/viewpoints. My favorites were Shawbachers Landing, Oxbow bend and Mormon row. If you like photography, make sure to walk around and check our all of the buildings in Mormon row area. Also, sunrise, try to catch the alpine glow over the mountains just after the sunrises. See photo I took from Glacier viewpoint (I’m just an amateur) - if you can’t make it on time to the top sites for sunrise or sunset, you can find many other great viewpoints like that one. Many places were closed in the park when we went otherwise. And, we didn’t hike much because it was cold. But, so much to see by just driving the loop.

Grand Teton Park > Yellowstone

By Icarus4335 |

This is just a review for the whole of Grand Teton National Park, even though this page is technically just for the specific mountain. We visited the park on a Wednesday in July and experienced very little traffic. We were able to get to all the major sites with relative ease. We also visited Yellowstone the following day, and both of us agreed that we liked this park better. The views/scenery is just absolutely incredible. If you are planning on visiting the region or Yellowstone, DO NOT skip this park.

Breathtaking Views Overwhelming Crowds

By ShanHooper |

We tried to Avoid the "Disneyworld" Crowds, by choosing the roads less traveled within the park. Also attempted to hit the hot spots at off times. Saw Bison & Elk and heard tell of wolf packs.

The best park to go!

By nabeab |

We just love this park, so many animals to see, hicking places, lakes, you name it. We absolutely enjoy all the views too. Amazing place!

Majestic

By Danie H |

Breathtaking views! Gorgeous landscape. Immersive in nature. I suggest visiting in September. The trees turn a golden hue that seems to glow.

Beautiful Mountains

By kathy n |

The Most BEAUTIFUL Mountains I've ever seen, just amazing, I never got tired of looking at them the entire week we were there. We were lucky too, they had a lot of snow on them which made them even more beautiful!!

Stunning

By Tyra H |

There is not a view in this park that is not stunning. The valley views are are beautiful as the mountain views.The best drive in the area.

So beautiful, you have to see it

By Beth |

We spent 3 nights camping at Headwater campground. The mountains are just unbelievable. So gorgeous. We visited the Jackson Lodge several times, the view out the windows in the lobby and the Blue Heron bar and restaurant are amazing.
We also saw lots of birds and a moose. We were there on the weekend and some parts (near Jenny Lake) were very crowded, but most of it was easy to get around and see all the sights.

Tetons

By Lynn R |

This is one of the prettiest mountains in the Tetons. It can be seen from many different angles in the park. I love all the jagged mountains.

Breathtaking

By Bev B |

Great experiences & spectacular views! We loved riding on the Gondola & enjoying waffles @ Waffles. Really delicious!

Beautiful

By jjjjjccccc |

Grand Teton is beautiful with the mountain and the lake. Very scenic and also good for family hiking.

Wonderful scenery.

By paula c |

The park does not have a lot of wildlife (that we saw). however, the view is breathtaking and the drives are stunning. You can spend a day if you are short on time.

amazing views

By john y |

waterfalls.wildlife.trails,camping and ski slopes what more could you want on a vacation! we took several driving trails and saw such beautiful sites. jenny lake is one of the prettiest setting i have seen.

Beautiful

By Aaron Ross |

Simply one of the most beautiful places on earth. We went to a couple of lookout spots but primarily did the hike all the way around Jenny Lake, including a stop at Lookout Point and the Hidden Falls. The hike is fairly easy, but long (7.1 miles around the lake). Some people walk to the falls and then double back, and others take the boat across the lake. Of course, there is serious mountain climbing here as well if that is your thing.

The cooler park

By Kevin B |

Absolutely loved the park. The mountains are gorgeous with their jagged structure. The jenny lake, hidden falls and inspiration point combined stop was the best thing we did in either Grand Teton or Yellowstone. Definitely alot less crowded and more enjoyable than Yellow stone. A bit more variety of stops as well.

Aaaaahmazing!

By funleavy |

Heaven on earth! We only had 2 days and it was not nearly enough. Learn from our mistake, and give yourself enough time to hike many trails and truly experience all that the park has to offer. I know next time we'll stay for at least a week!

Amazing experience

By lynn s |

Phenomenal experience! Would definitely recommend! We spent 2 days in the park- we saw buffalo, elk, fox, moose, bear, and antelope. Amazing hikes and incredible views!

Grand Tetons

By Leslie R |

The name of this site is right on the money they are magnificent and well worth the time and travel i was dealing with smoke in the area from the forest fires so it made my pictures a little fuzzy but it didn't ruin my trip one of the great wonders of the world

Mind Blowing Hollywood Set Scenes

By Kriss Elliott |

When you deplane at the airport the first view that you experience is the Grand Teton. The scenery almost does not look real. You have to stop to take it all in. Driving to the entrance of the Grand Tetons National Forest we experienced cinematic views and wildlife encounters.

Breathe Taking

By Tressia |

You can just stand or sit and stare at the mountains all day! Plan ahead and know exactly where you want to stop and what you want to see.

Stunning views from US 26

By jetsly |

We were here in September of last year, traveling between Yellowstone and Jackson. We enjoyed the close-up view of the mountains that the park road provided, but this time we wanted a panoramic view ... and we got one!
We approached the park from the east, along US26. Leaving Dubois, the highway climbs above 9,000 feet before cresting at Togwotee Pass, where in mid-May there was still a lot of snow both on the surrounding peaks and along the roadside. The highway then descends to Moran Junction, and the turnouts offer spectacular views of the valley and the mountains beyond. We really, really recommend that visitors to the park take the time to make the climb and enjoy the view!

One of best national parks I've been to

By Tom |

Pictures simply don't do it justice. GTNP easily one of the most beautiful views I've seen in any national park so far. Lots of outdoor activities, including some great hiking. I'll be back to visit this one again some day.

Crowded but worth the wait

By Th3HappyTraveler |

Breathtaking scenery—especially at Jenny Lake/Hidden Falls. Took the short boat ride, saw an eagle… but found out later more wildlife would have been seen using the lake trail (moose, mule deer & bear). Parking was a major issue at Jenny Lake as we circled a long time trying to find a spot. But once we saw our surroundings, we knew why it was so crowded! Watching local artists paint their landscapes was cool. Great visitor center with helpful rangers/staff.

Absolutely Stunning

By RaysOfGrace |

The views are beautiful even from the road. Much smaller than Yellowstone. You can see much of it in a day or two. If you are visiting Yellowstone, be sure to extend your trip a day or two to include Grand Teton.

A beautiful place - but watch out for the parking at the lakes

By Brandon K |

This is a wonderful park and it was unbelievable with the views. It is like you cannot take enough pictures. It is a bucket list place to go and you have to get here. That being said, you need to realize that parking is an issue here - which sounds weird to say. This is a huge, open park but the lakes have limited parking. Specifically Jenny Lake and String Lake fill up with people that park and stay. We had one day in the park and did not get there until 11 am and we were told you had to get in a parking lot by 9 am or be left out. We got a few photos while driving in breaks in the trees, but we missed out on both lakes. There are plenty of pull outs along the road where you can get photos of the mountains. I would love to come back again and spend multiple days and get to the lakes at 8 am.

Amazing park but beware late april

By Matthew |

Such a beautiful place to visit, and definitely a must see but note in April. NPS will charge a fee for park entrance but not have anything open visitor center closed , all restroom through the park . Roads are clear but Park services do not have anything open .

I’ve travel to many national parks over the years and never seen this even in the off season . Also road updates are not accurate provided grand Teton or Yellowstone . Be aware you might get there and even though it’s says it open it could be closed .

Would definitely recommend for families , it’s beautiful and the drive out is even better .

Hazy Day

By Mike H |

On our way out of Yellowstone going south and you reach Grand Teton NP. Can't miss it and I always like to stop for the iconic photo of the lake in front of the Mountains. But this year there was no lake. It has receded back so far that you can barely see the water. But the Mountains are amazing. Had some haze from fires or just from the weather so the photos aren't as crisp as I usually get.

Lots of cold lakes

By Paula H |

The lakes are cold but beautiful. I think we expected more from the Tetons. It seemed so small after going through Yellowstone. More bike trails would have been nice because the view from the trail is pretty boring.

Not so pretty

By James L |

The views were amazing There were a few issues Parking in many areas very limited not near enough parking at Jenny lake. Also the landscape was awful every where you go all you see are weeds and tall unkept areas. it seems with all the money they charge for everything they could make it look a little nicer. I have been in 17 national parks and the Tetons look the worst the views are great but it looks so unkept

Grand time!

By Krissy765 |

Beautiful beyond belief! Clean and pristine grounds. Roads are very well maintained. Signage is great, you can’t get lost if you follow the signs

Wonderful National Park .

By HappyGJackson |

Awesome views all over !! We stayed in the park for 2 nights I loved going to mormon row . Seeing lots of wildlife . The weather was beautiful every day the wild fires had just started to smoke us out . The pictures I took are so nice. It's great to reflect back on our trip .

Breath Taken

By Floyd J |

I have been to the Grand Tetons several times and all i can say is you have to see it to see Gods handy work. I have many images of the Tetons, each one is amazing.

Beautiful

By UKVISIT |

Lots of smoke in area diminished the view a bit, but still stunning. Lots of places to hike and lots of off roading to go exploring

Beautiful beyond description

By 5flower |

Beautiful beyond description. The best spots are on the western drive, particularly the scenic drive along Jenny Lake. Took lots of photos there. Also the Chapel of Transfiguration where the window framed the Teton. It is most beautiful.

For the beauty of the earth

By pmhanis |

The Tetons are obviously beautiful and majestic. But there is much more to see than just the grand leaks. The lakes, forest drives, valley views and history are great to take in. With enjoy using the Gypsyguide app that’s like having a tour guide in the car to help us navigate the park.

Family trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton

By Ballmom2020 |

Stayed at Colter Bay Village. It’s expensive, but so is everything. I a/c, but we were comfortable at night and were gone exploring all day. Beds were the best of the whole trip. Very nice shower and customer service.

Absolutely stunning

By Funtime916 |

This is a great place to see stunning views as well as see a lot of wildlife. There are also informative Ranger Programs in the evenings.

Awe Inspiring

By Nancy M |

This was my first time at this amazing park. I don’t think I can put into words how beautiful it is. A must see for National Park lovers.

Mountains and more

By redngold4life |

Entering Grand Teton through the north entrance from Yellowstone, you will need to drive a short distance before seeing the mountains. When I was there, clouds covered the mountain peaks. Stop at various areas provided for sites and look at lakes, nature and more. Take it all in and don't forget to bring your phone and camera with you. The whole park can be driven through, in a matter of hours, 2.5-3; longer of you want to take numerous photos. Speed limit is mostly 45.

Literally the prettiest place I’ve been!

By Amy_Hewitt77 |

I have always heard how pretty the Tetons were, but I didn’t believe it until I saw them with my own eyes! The view from Jenny Lake was amazing!!!

Vast Vistas and Craggy Peaks!

By mtzennmaster |

On or travels from Pinedale, WY to Yellowstone NP we passed through Grand Teton and truly enjoyed the vast vistas and the craggy peaks in the distance. There is so much more to this park than you can possibly see driving through like we did this time. In the past we have spent hours hiking and even picnicking on the shores of Jackson Lake. This trip it was cool and a bit windy, but the views and the wildlife were spectacular as always.

Nature's impressive beauty on full display!

By Steve H |

Grand Teton is an absolutely incredible place to behold. We hiked around Jenny Lake and took in the gorgeous scenery. We swung by the iconic T.A. Moulton barn. Plan on spending several hours here, if not days to really appreciate this amazing place.

Magical autumn colours.

By Cate Q |

A must at this time of year (September). Blue skies, warm air and beautiful tree colours. It felt like driving through a psychedelic dreamscape.

Breath Taking!

By Mark T |

I loved this park and wish I had more time to explore it! The views are just spectacular. How the mountains are with the sky provides several breath taking views. Photos do not do justice to how beautiful this area is in person. The park provides lots of opportunities for hiking for all abilities. There are hikes for the novice to the most experienced hiker. There are several bike trails if you are into biking. I am not. The key to this park is GO EARLY! By mid morning it gets crowded. We always went early to our hikes and had no problems with parking. One hike by Jenny Lake, we were finished by about 11:00 a.m. and the parking lots were full and people were parking on the entrance drive and on the highway.

Stunning views & Mountainside fun!

By MrsC1399 |

We went to Teton National park and took a gondola up to the top--spectacular views and trails I wish I could've ridden or hiked down--they rent mountain bikes at the top! I HIGHLY recommend this spot!

Majestic

By Travel R |

Just one of many beautiful peaks in the area. Easy to seen from many areas. Worth a gaze most certainly.

Yellowston's little brother

By Gonen2014 |

The fact that Grand Teton NP is near Yellowstone Park NP, does him a disservice, especially if you visit him right after visiting the Yellowstone. Grand Teton is a more relaxed and less intense park. His beauty is quieter ,but still very enjoyable. It seems to me that Jenny Lake is the highlight of the Grand Teton Park.

Stunning views and landscapes with lakes and prairies

By Sharon K |

Stunning views and landscapes with lakes and prairies. We drove through the Teton National Park in early morning and the views were amazing, with mist covering the tops of the mountains which still have some snow left on them from last winter.
Close to Jackson it is easy to visit the Tetons in both summer and winter.

Must see

By Shinglman |

We drove through the grand Tetons on our way through Yellowstone this June. Was one of the most amazing places I have driven through in the United States. Beautiful mountains, lakes, and streams. The snow capped mountains, and the wildlife blew our minds, kids cannot wait to go back.

Unmissable

By HeberLO |

Another unmissable park to visit. A little different from Yellowstone Park, but it also has exuberant nature.

Teton Fantastic

By ColoradoCorky |

Amazing, don’t over look the Tetons by getting focused on Yellowstone. Stay at Teton Village, have dinner in Jackson, you will not be disappointed.

Tremendous place to view and hike

By thehippoguy |

This is a hiker's paradise. It's a photographer's paradise too! We had a preschooler so hiking is always daunting, but we went ahead and rented some bear spray and went on a couple small hikes wearing our preschooler in a toddler carrier to make it a little easier part of the time. Highly recommend hiking doing the scenic drive and just enjoying this beautiful natural area. Spotted a deer and a beaver on our hike even in heavily trafficked areas.

Lots to do.

By Katie S |

The Tetons are dramatic peaks that rise vertically from the base without foothills to lessen the impact. They're stunningly beautiful with picturesque lakes reflecting their splendor.

Extraordinary

By SaltyKansan |

Simply beautiful!! Even in the smokey haze from the western US fires, one stands in awe of Grand Teton.

Traffic through the campsites

By Clint W |

We went backpacking for two nights on Leigh lake with our kids and some friends. Really disappointed how the trail comes right through the camps instead of routing around. All day long we had hikers wandering through camp, some playing Loud music. All of them were friendly enough, but it’s just annoying when you try to find some peace and quiet in the mountains in a reserved campsite only to have hikers wandering through all day. It wouldn’t be difficult route that main trail around the campsites.

Majestic & Pure

By Kate U |

My 9 year old daughter and I went on an Elk ride through the Grand Tetons. It was truly majestic and stunning. The elk were beautiful to see up close and the mountains in the background were amazing. It was a very cool experience to have with her. I think 1 hour is plenty of time with young children in the winter. She was freezing and hungry by the end. Good news is we could walk to town from the welcome center when we returned.

Ana Rode made our trip to the Tetons better

By ALRG |

My wife and I (both older than most of you) spent 5 days in the Grand Tetons in Mid September 2021. The best past of the trip was our tour guide for the first day, Ana Rode of Ana's Grand Excursions in Jackson. Ana turned out to be informative, energetic and organized. She took us all over the park, showed us where to go on subsequent days and in fact, organized our whole stay in the Tetons. We had a wonderful visit: hiking to several lakes, viewing moose and other animals close-up, finding good meals (both lunches and dinners), star-gazing with Wyoming Stargazers, and genuinely enjoying every moment. I have used many guides over the world and would rate Ana Rode as the very best and would certainly recommend her for a visit to the Tetons and Yellowstone, especially early in your visit so that she can get you happily organized thereafter.

Beautiful view

By pattyH16 |

The view of the snow-capped peaks was beautiful.
You keep taking pictures.
Not been to the mountain itself, just drove past.

STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By J & S |

Absolutely gorgeous and took our breath away. One day one sunny with blue skies and one day a bit cloudy but still amazing. Our only regret is we did not see wildlife. So glad we got to experience the Grand Teton National Park. Don't miss it.

The View is Astounding

By RecreationV |

Our first sighting of the Grand Teton Mountain range, from the highway over looking Jackson Lake, just took my breath away!

This is a cannot miss!

By brixton456 |

This park is absolutely stunning! There is so much to see and do. We could only spend a day in the park but by following the 42 mile Teton Loop we were able to stop and see several sites such as: Chapel of the Transfiguration, Chapel of the Sacred Heart, Oxbow Bend, Snake River Overlook, Schwabacher's Landing, and Mormon Row. We stopped at Jenny Lake Overlook because by the time we arrived at Jenny Lake there was no where to park. We arrived around 1pm, and based on how busy Jenny Lake was vs. the rest of the park, I would suggest going early and beating the crowd. Before driving along the loop we took a raft tour down Snake River which is a must do and was my favorite part of the visit. Most recommendations we saw online said the best way to travel the loop is starting at the southeast and traveling clockwise, which is what we did, spending a full day in the park.

Awe inspiring

By srgl0betr0tter |

It's a worth the drive through the plains & then hitting the mountains & lakes. The hike around Colter Bay & the drive around Jenny Lake give breathtaking views. We stopped at the Jackson reservoir dam.

National Parks are Awesome!

By 14221_TravelGal |

Beautiful Grand Teton mountain range. The landscape is so different for each national park. Did a little hike around Lake Jenny. We only spent about a half day there. Once it was dark, nothing to see. I was hoping to see Moose, but no luck.

Simply beautiful

By Beeveejay |

I think the best pictures are taken in the early morning hours so they’re not against the light. If I had the pleasure of time, I’d go picture taking in the morning and do everything else like hiking etc in the afternoon to evening. But since our time was very limited, we went around starting at around 9 towards Teton road all the way to Moose and up towards Moran junction and back to Colter Bay. We started late since we came from West Yellowstone where we left at past 7am. We only did picture taking all throughout. But the activities inside the park are endless, from hiking to biking etc. There’s this bike trail where you can roller skate/blade as well and it’s a very long route! The park has all the activities that will fit pretty much every one, whether it is just to take picture, to just stare at the mountains to hiking, fishing, bear watching and all...the views are soooo beautiful!!! My pictures do not do justice to how the views really look!

Ranger

By Anizha |

The ranger we met here is awful. Curt. Showing his power to tourists for minor things, like when we parked just outside of the spot. Honestistake we did that and left a water bottle by the car door. Bad experience.

Everything I imagined it to be!

By Caitlin N |

What an experience! I did all of the following in one day along with a lot of Yellowstone views as well, don’t let people tell you it isn’t possible!! We didn’t see much wildlife, but the views made it all worth it.

Dornan’s Chuckwagon
Jenny Lake
Schwabachers landing
Jackson lake
A bunch of byways

Breathtaking!

By Robert D |

Grand Tetons National Park is breathtaking! Visit Jackson Lake, where you can see the Grand Tetons on the left and Mount Moran in the center. Colter Bay is another good place to stop. The Colter Bay Visitor Center has an Indian Arts Gallery which is worth a visit. I stopped for lunch at the historic Jackson Lake Lodge, built in 1955. It was nice to eat my food on the lakeside terrace with a magnificent view of the Grand Tetons.

Such beauty

By JohnnyChicago1 |

The striking Natural Beauty of the Mountains and other natural vistas is absolutely beautiful. We wemt swimming in String Lake while looking up at a glacier on the mountain! The park rangers and volunteers were very helpful to answer any questions we had and were very professional! Saw lots of Wildlife and sooo much natural beauty! Definitely recommend a visit here!

Beautiful NP but so crowded from Jackson

By FLtrotter |

Another breathtaking NP, sister to Yellowstone but unfortunately a sister in crowds too. I can’t blame everyone from visiting these splendors including myself but it really does change the experience of enjoying nature when it feels like a scramble and exercise in crowd coping. More so than Yellowstone and in late May the crowds were worse here especially on the Jenny lake side, where cars were backed up and a scramble to get in/out of the parking lot! Long lines of cars trying to get in the main entrance the rangers stopped checking for passes and waved cars in. I get these parks in some ways are run as a business but like Disney and other attractions where people are allowed in mass and all those resulting problems, and that’s why I rank it as such. Got to get out on the backcountry next time.

We did it. Made it to the Top of the Grand Teton Selta lake

By Natalie C |

To all how want a great day hike ! I suggest the Delta Lake Via Amphitheater Trail! It’s a hard trail but worth it. We started at 9am and ended at 4pm . I would not suggest staying to much longer then 5 due to you want to make sure you have enough daylight! The day we went in September was beautiful. Not to cold/ not to hot! But this is for people who can climb over boulders/Rocks and thin wet mucky parts of the trail! Not for children but 15 and up. Not for wimpy kids.

early exploration advised

By Craig S |

This park, like Yellowstone, is very busy. Visiting Jenny Lake must be done early or else you will walk an extra mile to get to the visitors center and boat ride. Beautiful beyond description.

Fell in love with Grand Tetons

By pixie007 |

The mountains are so majestic. The scenery is fantastic. We really enjoyed visiting this park. If you are into hiking, lots of trails available.

My favorite place so far 🥰

By Mindy |

It doesn’t get better than this, it’s quite possibly my favorite place. It is such a beautiful place, pictures just don’t do it justice. Aside from how beautiful and peaceful it is, there’s an abundance of wildlife and the trails are great!! Yellowstone has nothing on Grand Teton, not even close, Grand Teton is better in every way!!! This place is a MUST if you love the outdoors. I can’t wait to go back!!

Just beautiful

By gypsymamma |

Stunning mountains and beautiful rivers and lakes. We aren't hikers or outdoorsy people so we did most of our sightseeing from the car and from the various pullouts. Sadly the weather was not the greatest, but the mountains were still beautiful shrouded in clouds and mist. This is one of those parks that's easily accessible and that everyone should visit.

Once in a Lifetime

By Kath |

This is really a unique place in the world! The mountains jut up next to river. Much wildlife. The town and park are easy to navigate. Just know trail heads and visitor areas fill up extremely early

Jenny Lake

By Savannahtaylor |

I was overwhelmed at first by the immensity and infinite options of trails. I decided to just go to the Jenny Lake visitor center and see what was around that area. Ample parking, but it will fill up fast. I hiked the Hidden Falls trail, which was gorgeous and moderate. I didn't give myself enough time to see the majority of the park, so plan more time than you think.

Almost skipped this one - and that would have been a shame.

By MAP12 |

Definitely worth a drive-through. We almost skipped it - not wanting to go through Yellowstone again to get there. Glad we didn't miss it. Such beauty is hard to find. Photos just don't do justice to this kind of place - you have to be there!! "For purple mountain majesties"

Grand Teton Fall trip

By Curious42792016530 |

Fall is a beautiful time to see the all the tree colors. Not as crowded as in the Summertime.
Weather was 40-70 degrees great for hiking and fishing.

Glorious Teton - try to visit before Yellowstone

By BrakiWorldTraveler |

Grand Teton is a spectacular NP - full of lakes, driving and hiking paths with spectacular peaks in distance.
However, after spending 3 days in Yellowstone NP, Teton seemed like a second league - beautiful, but you used all your wooow impressions in Yellowstone.
Therefore, try to visit it before Yellowstone if possible.

Make time to visit

By Seester2t |

If you are anywhere in the area of the Grand Tetons, make time to fit in a visit,. The mountains are just breathtaking. Wildlife, like anywhere, is hit or miss but there is so much to see even if you only see a couple of critters. As you drive up and back from Jackson to the south entrance of Yellowstone, there are numerous pullouts and places to stop. Be sue your camera/phone is charged for all of the photos you will be taking!

Stunning views

By Garry M |

The Tetons are some of the most beautiful mountains I've seen in America. They are a tall rugged looking mountain range.

Fear and beauty

By Patrick_Aoki |

The mountains have a surreal and epic beauty. Recommend seeing them at dawn.
We saw a baby bear, the only bear sighting of our 8 days in and around Yellowstone. The warning sign was right. We probably got a little to close (25 meters) as I suspect the mama bear was nearby. Fortunately, we got back to our car safe.
There seemed to be alot of activities in the park--hiking, fishing, rafting etc. We got in at 7pm and drove the loop until 10pm.
Oh. that reminds me, driving back to West Yellowstone via Jackson Hole was one of the most dangerous drives of my life. Snow flurries, no highway lights, wildlife, and faded yellow/white lines made for some scary hours. My not always pious children found fox hole faith and prayed together out loud.

This park is a must!

By Tzivia R |

We came on a family vacation to Teton/Yellowstone and for my kids they liked Teton much better! We stayed in Wilson, a short drive away so we went into the park 3 different days. The information center in Jackson was super helpful with ideas and maps. There are so many different hiking trails to take, we saw some random wildlife on the sides of the road and those mountains are incredible. It was mostly rainy all the days we were there - which was good because the forest fire risk was so high! but we didn't get to see as much as we'd hoped. Still 10/10 would recommend, what a beautiful park - and we Loved Jenny Lake - even in the pouring rain!

My Favorite National Park!!

By MountainlakeGirl |

I absolutely love this gorgeous national park! If you have limited time the entire park can be seen in a day but I recommend at least 3 or 4 days in order to take your time and enjoy some of the hikes. There are several hikes ranging from easy to strenuous. The current cost is $35 per car for a week pass, or you can purchase an annual national park pass for $80, which gives you access to all national parks, national monuments, and forests! If you are 62 or older take advantage of the lifetime pass for $80! No masks are currently required if you are fully immunized. Make sure to keep up to date on road closures and openings thru the the nps.gov website.

Best of the Three National Parks in the Area

By Mike S |

On this trip, we visited Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Glacier I could have skipped, Yellowstone had a lot of wildlife and other attractions but, far and away, Grand Teton was my favorite. The best word I can use to describe it is majestic. Incredible scenery and everywhere we drove in the park had views like on a picture postcard. There was some construction going on but not as much as Yellowstone and certainly nowhere nearly as much as Glacier. And it was being done in small sections so the delays were minimal. And the traffic was noticeably less than in Yellowstone. While we never saw a glacier in Glacier NP, we saw them in Grand Teton.
There are many, many hiking options. Don't miss Jenny Lake which some friends of ours said was the most beautiful place they'd ever seen. And do yourself a favor and go to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve. It is sort of out of the way but there's a reason for that and it's worth going.
We spent a night at the Dornan's Spur Ranch Cabins in Moose. It was the most expensive stay or our entire 2.5 week trip but it was worth it. Spacious, right on the Snake River and very peaceful and quiet. And it was near here that I actually finally saw a moose. We've spent time in Maine and the northeast and Yellowstone a couple of times and I never saw one. But in this area I got to see a couple of cows with calves. They are magnificent animals.
I wish we'd skipped Glacier so I had an extra day to spend here but hey, live and learn. We also stayed in Jackson and, while expensive, it's a great town for walking around and seeing the different shops and restaurants. And the major carriers all fly into the Jackson Hole Airport if you don't have time to drive. (But you miss a lot traveling at 35,000 ft.)
I would gladly return here and I think June was a perfect time to go. No issues with weather affecting access or travel and the summer crowd hadn't hit yet. You will not be disappointed if you decide to visit!

Highly recommend at least once in lufetime!

By Brenda R |

So incredible, weather was beautiful!
Awe inspiring views and not crowded at view points! The story behind it is so hard to image!

Awesome natural wonder

By Phil G |

This was our second visit, the last one being 16 years ago. The views are fabulous with many pullout to get different angles. For hikers there are plenty of trails. This is a must see before or after Yellowstone.

Beautiful park in spite of the crowds

By ccrowe3 |

The Tetons were very crowded and sometimes obscured by the smoke from fires blazing as far away as Oregon and Washington. Even under these circumstances it was still beautiful!

Beautiful scenery

By Ane Noem |

The view is absolutely gorgeous. I’m from Norway and we have these types of mountains at home, so people told us to drop the grand Teton. Despite people’s recommendations, we visited. And I’m so glad we did! Really worth seeing. But be bear aware and stay safe folks!

“Stunning”

By luckyv |

The Grand Teton mountain ring is stunning.

If doing a trip to Yellowstone, I would definitely recommend a day or two for Grand Teton National Park. It offers striking contrast to Yellowstone and awe inspiring beauty.
Arrive early to get a parking spot at popular trails and picnic spots. This is a beautiful national park, not to be missed if in that part of the country.
Services are available and some shops, stores, food service and visitor centers are open. Restrooms are available and maintained. The Jenny Lake shuttle is in operation.

Mountains

By LostInTime |

My kids and I send some time here. We lucked out and got clear days. It was so beautiful. It’s pretty crowded in early august but was still great.

A wonderful place to visit

By cornwall15 |

I was surprised to see herds of bison in this park. There are also moose, bear, and elk here. The valley is quite attractive with many picnic spots available to enjoy. Where ever you go you can't avoid the Tetons though as they tower over the valley.

Beautiful! A must see!

By lindsay0215 |

Great views on your way to Yellowstone. We stopped at several of the look outs along the way and got some amazing pics. Views of the Snake River too.

Breathtakingly Amazing!

By Frederick G |

Grand Teton is absolutely breath taking and a must bucket list item. We spent 2 days in the park before heading to Yellowstone and had an absolute blast. Just driving the loop road is a rewarding experience for the less mobile but for the more adventurous stop as often as you can and explore. Meaner's Landing was really cool. Lots of hiking trails--some relatively easy and some relatively hard--just ask at the visitor center (Moose) for a map and other descriptions.

Pro-Tip--if you can, bring a picnic lunch. There are places to eat in the park but few and they are crowded and relatively expensive. We enjoyed a great picnic lunch of some cold cuts, cheese and fruit we picked up in Jackson while looking at the vistas and as we ate a bison herd and several Pronghorn's wandered through the area. No place offers that view!

One more thing--be prepared for sudden weather changes. We experienced 3 seasons in 2 days. Dress in layers and peel off and put on as the day goes by.

Tetons

By Carl D |

The Tetons are amazing. The shoot straight up from about 7,000 feet to almost 14,000 feet. We visited in August and there was lots of ice on the peaks.

Wyoming is Awesome

By John F |

Beautiful area and lots of photo ops. Disappointing that we did not see any wildlife, but that's the chance you take. Wyoming is an awesome state with mountains and valleys. A bonus with Jackson Hole just down the road. I could live in Jackson Hole.

Great mountains, long drive

By wslin86 |

Mountains were beautiful. If you are into hiking or boating, probably a great place to go, but not really worth the drive if you are just sight seeing. Don't get me wrong, the scenery is fantastic, just not worth the lenghty drive unless you are passing through to yellowstone.

Amazing!!

By 7oceandrive |

The Grand Teton mountains are simply amazing and beautiful. Just seeing them from a distance is amazing but being within the mountain range is beyond amazing.

Adventure-Filled

By IndyKevin317 |

Grand Teton National Park has something for everybody. I only spent one day there but it gave me an idea of all the things I would like to do the next time I come. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever experienced up close and personal in my life. I can’t wait to come back so that I can explore more of the park.

Magnificent vistas

By Rochelle F |

Well worth the stay to see this wonderful park. We are driving cross country and Yellowstone was too big and cold for this trip. An hour or so south is the Grand Teton Park. IT is beautiful and manageable for a short trip. We went to Signal Mountain Rd, and looked at Jackson Lake, drove up the overlook to see the scenic view which is magnificent, drove done to North Jenny Lake entrance and walked around String Lake and part of Leigh Lake. Admired the view everywhere we went. Was a wonderful day and turned out to be a warm warm one even in October (the next day snowed so no hiking for us)!

TRULY AMAZING1

By CMelam |

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my short exploration of Grand Teton. We only had one day to see what should take several days or a week, but I thoroughly enjoyed driving and hiking through part of the park. I hadn't done much research before we arrived, so we headed to the Laurance Rockefeller Preserve first which turned out to be a great move. From the staging area of the visitor center, you can take several hikes and see some beautiful lakes. When driving around, you can expect to see elk, antelope, bears, bison, etc. There's a great bike path from Jackson Hole that covers a small portion of the southern end of the park. A truly amazing place to visit!

Great in combination with Yellowstone

By Hermes_NL 🇳🇱 |

The Grand Teton National Park is great and very easy to visit in combination with Yellowstone. The Teton Mountain range provides a magnificent backdrop to many of the scenic views available along the way. After traversing Grand Teton, Jackson is a nice touristic place to stay for a night.

Majestic!!!

By KRC |

The Grand Tetons are beautiful. So many opportunities for great hiking and photography. The boat tour of Jenny Lake is a must, other high points were Oxbow Bend and Schwabacher Landing.

Iconic Beauty

By jg3arrow |

The Grand Tetons are as beautiful and inspiring as any sight in America. We saw them on a postcard-perfect summer day. Well worth taking the chance to see them, any time of year.

A spectacular trip to experience the natural world.

By Edward Q |

Grand Teton National Park is a spectacular place. The views of the mountains, roaring rivers and streams, wildlife and the surrounding landscape are stunning examples of the natural world.

We camped there for three nights. At one point deer wandered through our camp. We saw Black Bear scat freshly laid early one morning. The stars at night are unlike anything you will see anywhere near a city.

We hiked up the cascade valley trail: 10 miles out and back from the trailhead on the other side of Jenny Lake (beautiful in itself). We saw eagles, mighty hidden waterfalls, bear, moose and the spectacular mountains overlaid by snow and multiple mountain streams. Every time I looked up I was taken by the beauty of my surroundings. Truly an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

But of course this only scratches the surface of what the park has to offer. It has something for everyone. Zip lining, river rafting, fishing etc.

Go and see them!

By Busboy19 |

If you're going to Yellowstone you must also got to Grand Tetons!!! The overlook over Jackson lake looks like Norway and is gorgeus! Just an hour south of Yellowstone and totally worth it! You should also got to Jenny lake and take the shuttle boat across the lake to beautiful trail with waterfalls and eagle eye views of the Tetons.

Grand Teton not complement to Yellowstone

By Garrett Dallas & Emily Stuhrberg |

We traveled to Yellowstone through the South entrance from Jackson. This entails going through GTNP. It’s $35 for a week pass to GTNP and $35 for a week pass to Yellowstone. The annual pass that includes both is $70. On our way back to Jackson we stopped at Jenny Lake. It was awesome and the scenery is beautiful.

Just lovely

By mynameisD |

What a great National Park... One of my favorites. We had a wonderful time at the Vos Ventre Campground and enjoyed all the wildlife. Elk, deer, pronghorns, moose.
It was a bit smokey and overcast during Sept. But we enjoyed this park so much. Beautiful scenery

Above & beyond what I expected

By Kamcro |

This is one of the best National Parks I have ever visited. The scenery is so incredibly beautiful and there is so much to do! Being surrounded by the mountains and seeing all that nature has to offer is so relaxing. Things were a little limited with a Covid-19 but we were still able to totally enjoy our visit. Social distancing was a little tough at times but the Park was doing all they could to make sure people were being safe. We took the boat on Jenny Lake to the other side and hiked back. A great hike and very scenic! We had a magnificent weather day! You could easily spend a week here, looking forward to returning next year.

Spectacular

By 7Serendipity7 |

This was my third trip to Jackson and the Grand Tetons. My first summer trip. I never get tired of looking at these mountains and doing the drive around the Jackson area. This truly is a special area which I actually enjoyed more than Yellowstone.

Beautiful!

By S Moon |

This may be my favorite park. Wow. Just beautifully gorgeous. Met many kind visitors as well, which was a bonus to the beautiful nature around us.

American Alps

By LiketoeatCincinnati |

This is a most beautiful mountain range with views varying depending upon your location. Try to spend two or three days to be sure you get a very clear day to see the mountains.

Amazing place!

By Pat and Tricia H |

The park is one of the most beautiful places in the world. The mountains are so majestic that they take your breath away.

The Park is gorgeous

By Hollie R |

The mountains are beautiful, the lake is stunning, the trails are nice. (I did find that each parking lot and trail was MUCH MORE CROWDED than anything in Yellowstone).

Fabulous Grand Tetons!

By Vagabonds5358 |

This is the ninth trip to the Grand Teton National Park I my lifetime. In remains my favorite of all the national parks I have visited. It’s beauty never seems to get old. There are a few roads that gives you access to the east side of the mountains, the the real beauty is hiking the many miles of trails away from the roadside overlooks. This trip we saw elk in rut, a herd of about 200 bison, a number of herds of pronghorn antelope, bald eagles and numerous waterfowl and birds. The fall color with the turning aspen was spectacular. I highly recommend this park to anyone, whether you enjoy the drive, day hiking or backpacking.

Beautiful park despite bad weather

By USASUN |

That day we were unlucky with the weather. We had driven the big loop, but couldn't see too much at the stops. Occasionally, the rain clouds would rip up and open the view of the beautiful mountains. We visited the Discovery Center, which is highly recommended. A short visit to Mormon Row was also possible. It would be worth spending more time here or staying here. We will come back.

Amazingly beautiful

By quinnie98 |

Go and take a raft trip with Snake River ......the guide was so knowledgeable and personable.....we had people in their 50’s to mid 80’s and it was a great ride.....very safe, but a little chilly!

Loved Every Minute

By Minnesota Traveler |

The Tetons offer up some amazing views and photo opportunities. This smaller national park is loaded with places and things to see. Our 10 year old liked it better the Yellowstone. We got a chance to see bear 399 and her 4 cubs as well what a treat. Like clock work look for bear 399 to come into viewing distance each morning between 9:30-10:30 out by the 191 intersection near Moran

One of the Most Beautiful Mountain Ranges

By James C |

After departing Jackson Hole, WY my next stop was Grand Teton NP on the way to Yellowstone NP. It’s a great place to sightsee and do day activities at Jenny Lake. We hit the lookouts and had lunch on the beach at Jenny Lake. The back setting of the beautiful mountains are absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful Area

By ryanls82 |

I have been here 3 times and each time is just as beautiful. It is hard to distinguish between the beginning and ends of Grand Teton and Yellowstone, but each area is beautiful. If you are more of a driving person, you can see a lot driving the area. But, there are several great hikes in this area.

Magnificent

By Patric D |

What can you say about Teton. Majestic mountains sett off by green valleys and gentle rivers. It's almost an idyll. If you were to make up the best view you could think of, it would look a bit like Teton - but not as good.
Take your time on the road ... stop and drink in the scenery.
Mega wonderful

Breathtaking

By Simone |

I have no words. Seeing the Teton mountain range has been a dream of mine for years. I stood there and wept. The grandeur. The ruggedness. The peace. We actually stayed in Idaho Falls and drove in every day to witness the rising of the sun and everything these mountains had to offer. Jenny Lake outlook is a must.

Must Go

By Alexander S Ognibene |

What is there to say other than you need to visit. There is so much to do while there. I got the chance to hike around Jenny Lake which had views of the Grand Tetons from a different vantage point along with seeing the Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. There are also spots for you to safely go into Jenny Lake and swim.

Family Vacation

By Traveling M |

Absolutely Gorgeous park! We only had one day but we were able to see the whole park. If you want to hike you need more than one day.

Jenny lake is so pretty. The ferry ride across to see hidden falls is totally worth it if you are not huge hikers.

The Pioneer Grill was good food but pricey. It was a neat place to eat.

My family’s favorite vacation

By Lou |

Our visit to the Grand Tetons National park combined with 5 days in Yellowstone has been my family’s favorite trip to date!! I recommend for people of all ages! A must see

Awesome views!

By C.D. |

Spectacular views along the Teton Mountains! Go during a sunny day to see the deep valleys while drinking along the winding roads!

Majestic

By Couple19611963 |

Majestic, awesome, beautiful, spiritual. This park is a must see on your national park bucket list. From Jackson to the entrance to Yellowstone entrance you will find plenty of jaw dropping views coupled with bears, moose and bison. Take advantage of the pullouts and off road trails. Take bear spray when hiking because it’s no joke that bears live in the Tetons.

A DETOUR THAT DOES NOT DESERVE.

By Maura B |

Disappointing. No information or maps at the entrance to the park. You see a lot of bison on US 191. The peaks are beautiful; perhaps the haze did not contribute, but otherwise definitely not worth the detour south. The Moose-Wilson Road is not scenic at all.

Beautiful

By doctimothy |

We loved the Grand Tetons. You can hike if you want, or you can just enjoy a number of the scenic turn-outs. It is well laid out, and the mountains are beautiful throughout the area. You also have a number of different type of experiences to enjoy. We saw some wildlife but not as much as Yellowstone. But there are more activities to choose from around Jackson than in the immediate vicinity of Yellowstone.

Stunning

By Jay F |

We arrived during an unexpected early snow. The mountains were beautiful. Nice park to the short hikes. The location is just south of Yellowstone and north of Jackson. You do a quick drive through or take a short hike on the way to either location.

Tetons are really over the Top!!

By DannyWasserman |

Goto the Grand Teton National Park and experience all the snow caps and rugged mountain tops that the Tetons have to offer. Great visitor center and plenty of scenic drives, fishing and hinting opportunities. Lots of wildlife await you, I got plenty of pictures of Moose, Elk, and Bison.

Wow what views

By aspoe093 |

This is a great place. The beauty of this park is on par with anything else in the US. Amazing lakes, mtns and what not. When you are here, you need to see Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point

Grand Teton National Park is mesmerizing!

By Aisha M |

We loved the opportunity to stay inside the National Park at Colter Bay Cabins for 2 nights. Very convenient with power and heated water, private bathrooms in cabins. There are multiple options around the park to stay in more tent-like cabins with shared facilities and campgrounds.

A great little grocery store within Colter Bay with icecream, coffee and deli counter! Grabbing a quick breakfast was not a problem. If you want to opt for a dine-in experience, check out Mural Room (reservations are required). We loved the expansive views the wall to wall windows Mural Room offered; and the service + food was great!

There's a lot of activities to do. We especially loved the ferry across Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. I was in awe of Wyoming's beauty and the views this treasure of a National Park offers.

Tip: Yellowstone is 1.5 hours away; consider upgrading to an Annual Pass for National Parks if you intend to visit 2+ parks.

Beautiful Mountain

By phat_dawg_21 |

This mountain is the centerpiece of the Teton Mountain Range. It is the focal point of many of our photos.

This was our favorite park from the standpoint of signage. You would think all the parks would be pretty much the same, but we felt Gran Teton had much better informative signage and better marked attractions.

Picturesque and majestic

By Ümran T |

The mountains and other diverse geography were a sight to behold. Many types of wildlife inhabit the Tetons and it was peaceful to just watch them.

Awesome Experience

By Kim B |

The full day tour of the Grand Teton Nat'l Park that we took with WildThings of Wyoming exceeded our expections. Our tour guide Colin had everything we needed to have a full experience, ie: individual binoculars, snacks, comfortable vehicle for open viewing etc. His knowledge of the area, history, nature, and wild life was excellent.
I highly recommend Wild Things of Wyoming for a great tour in Jackson Hole!

Beautiful and majestic peaks!

By Matthew S |

Grand Teton National Park is a great place to enjoy the outdoors and offers great trails to explore on. We went during shoulder season and the trails still had plenty of people hiking on. I can only imagine how busy this park would be during the summer/peak months. There is only one road in the park that runs south to north and can get congested in certain areas. The views of the peaks are beautiful, but you only get the one view (east face), unless you hike to the backside. Please keep in mind that we live in Colorado and it was hard to not compare GTNP with RMNP where you can drive and explore more of the park. I'm still glad my wife and I visited and hiked (especially Delta Lake), but if you really want to enjoy the park and surrounding areas, then go during the off-peak season(s).

My second time here

By 502bbb |

This was my second time at GTNP and it was as good as the first. Plenty of different trails to see something different every time.

August getaway

By Marcia D |

Right near Yellowstone so it makes a great trip seeing both national parks. One day should give you a chance to see the whole park.

The Most Amazing Trip

By Francesca D |

It was the most amazing trip of my life. We had the best campsite, right next to Jenny Lake. Our family did a 10 mile hike, saw a baby bear, a moose and eagles. We also took a rafting trip down the Snake River. You really get to enjoy nature. I highly recommend this for out-doorsy people.

Drove a loop thru the park

By cathyd |

We had beautiful views of the Teton mountain range as we drove around. No real wildlife to speak of, although we got lucky and went on a unpaved road and saw two moose before they went back in the woods. There was an area marked off as a bear crossing with warnings but we didn’t spot any.

The Grand Teton Aerial Tram

By Patrick Molenaar |

Take the Grand Teton Aerial Tram in Jackson Hole to the top of the mountain. It will cost you about 50 dollars per person and that was a bit of a shock, but it is definitely worth it. The trip takes about 12 minutes and the 'driver' tells something about the area along the way, which is quite nice. At the top the view is really fantastic, either my condition was not good or it was due to the slightly thinner air, but it took me some effort to walk a long distance. Still not 5 stars because a section upstairs was not accessible due to work and as far as I was concerned the ticket price could be taken into account, after all I am a real Dutchman
;-)

Couple

By Richard |

Absolutely stunning and so much to see and do . The overall beauty of the park must be experienced in person,

Amazing!

By riceburnergrace |

This is the best kept secret of the national parks! We only stayed a day but would could have easily stayed a week. It was absolutely beautiful. We didn't see a lot of wildlife but the hikes were amazing. We also had intermittent cell reception too which was nice.

Beautiful and scenic park

By Diane K |

We drove through the park on our tour. It was very scenic with beautiful mountain ranges. A nice place to stop is Jenny Lake.

Road Trip to Wyoming!

By Jude:) |

We loved our vacation to Grand Tetons NP In WY. The scenery was simply beautiful. We hiked, canoed and enjoyed just being there. A great trip!

Majestic Beauty!

By William W |

We spent time in the park on two consecutive days and still didn't see everything. The first day was cold with a consistent wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow, so we couldn't get any good pics of the mountain tops. Second day was perfect. Lots of great pics. We crossed if off our bucket list, but God willing, we will be back with RV in tow.

Family

By jennypitts |

We were pacing through to get to Yellowstone. The area was beautiful and we were able to see animals on our drive.

1 day in the Grand Tetons......

By Hstrybuff |

On our way from Yellowstone to SLC to catch our airplane, we had time to spend an entire day in the Grand Tetons and Jackson-hole. Glad we had the time to take in the sights and that adorable little town. We were also able to do Jenny Lake and Inspiration Point.

Vacation

By sskroll |

AWESOME. We came into the park from Jackson, WY and the views were fantastic. We had great weather and there is a lot to do within the park. If you are going to be in the area it is a good idea to get a National Park pass because with Yellowstone in the areas as well it will about pay for itself with just the two parks.

So peaceful

By Kathy S |

We spent a lovely day here after spending 3 wonderful days in Yellowstone. So glad we did. As a huge bonus, we got to see a Grizzly family of mommy and 4 cubs that we didn't get to see at Yellowstone. It was so exciting!!

Terrific Tetons

By Leslie J |

For the majesty of the mountains alone I would rate this place as perfection. We entered from the south and drove as far as Signal Mountain Lodge. The next day we took a boat tour on Jenny Lake, ate lunch at Jenny Lake Lodge before heading to Yellowstone. We are not hikers so we did the turnoff, which were well marked and most had ample parking. The area by Jenny Lake was crazy busy so plan accordingly if you are doing g activities there. We could have used at least one more night as we didn't get to everything that we wanted to do. But who wouldn't want to return ?

bucket list place

By Marcie H |

Just go! Its a beautiful place to see. There is something for everyone - hiking, walking, boating, shopping, swimming, relaxing, biking, eating, etc...

UNREAL!

By Eric E |

I did not expect Grand Teton to hit like it did! The park has veiws of the Tetons for about 95% of all the roads. If you like Wildlife like we do, this park did not disappoint! I recommend going early in the morning and later in the evening for wildlife viewing (Moose, Bison, Elk, Bears, Deer (whitetail and Mule, Eagles, and more) we went back for 3 separate days and I would drive through there every day. There are a lot of areas to get out and walk if you are into hiking, and the Tetons are around every corner you take. I highly Recommend this Park!

Tetons

By Decheek |

The drive there and the views are wonderful. Beautiful!we drove from casper wy. So many different landscapes along the way.

Bucket List Item

By Violette54 |

Grand Teton Park has been a Bucket List Item for us for some time, and this year we finally made it there. Back in 1923, a meeting was held on land that would become the park. Businessmen with a vision, and ranchers and the Yellowstone Park Superintendent hatched a plan that was the beginning of everything.
Today, there is so much to see and do that one review could never be enough to describe this magical place. Water, hiking, visitor centers, camping, cabins, boating, wildlife, lodges, and restaurants, the most photographed place in the world, are just the beginning. We had one and a half long days. It was just barely enough.
Restrooms
Modern restrooms are located at Visitor Centers and Campgrounds.
Dog-friendliness
Dog are allowed where cars can go. They must be securely leashed and with their owners. They ae not allowed in Park buildings, with the exception of support animals.
Picnic area
Picnic areas are located at campgrounds and some of the overlook areas.

Wonderous and magnificent....

By RICART75 |

Visiting here was truly a wonderful bucket-list experience.
Originally we were going to explore Yellowstone for three days, and the Tetons for two. With the delay in the opening of the south entrance to Yellowstone, due to late snow fall; we had to reverse our timing. Certainly, nothing was lost by having more time in the Tetons.
The mountains, lakes, panoramic views and wildlife encounters, created memory upon memory. Watching the Park emerge from its winter shadings, was a fascinating and rewarding exploration.
Being early May, we were able to maintain a leisurely pace, pullover as desired, and not impede others. We saw black bear, elk, moose, bison and big horn sheep.
Though the Lodges were not yet open, they were accessible; allowing one to see staff preparing Park facilities for the coming visitor onslaught.
This country encompasses so much wonderous and magnificent beauty; and this area certainly holds its share.

The epitome of a National Park - and an amazing mountain range.

By kyshappells |

Of course this place is amazing. Amazing views, TALL mountains, and amazing places to hike and bike. This is what a national park should be!! Highly recommend.

Much to do if you have the time - Hike, Raft, Ride Horses, Take Photos

By Jo_and_Tom |

So much which you can do in the Tetons. You can hike many trails, see wildlife, but be careful, the cuddly bison or elk will stomp you if you get too close. Beautiful vistas to take pictures. Lakes which you can fish, boat and swim though maybe cold since it is from mountain snow runoff. Lots of local towns - we went to Jackson Hole which is neat but expensive.

PICTURES can't match the beauty!

By melanie |

Grand Teton national park is such a beautiful area. Picturesque views every way you turn. The mountains are fabulous as well as the lakes and all the surrounding areas!

Amazing views!

By Kdawg282 |

One of the best parks ever! Lots of wildlife and scenery is awesome! Make sure to find some great pics of the Tetons, just awesome scenery. Mormon row seems to be the best spot we found to take photos, but many exist in the park. Park is huge but worth it!

Magnificent!

By Kenneth F |

Looking back now a month after I visited I am wondering if it was all a dream but thankfully I have the photos to remind me. However long you have to explore this wonderland it will never be enough. I didn't allow as much time as it deserves but it will still be there for future visits. The only negative is that there is now no discount for visiting both Grand Teton and Yellowstone while the accommodation all around both parks is very expensive making a return visit a financial challenge but one definitely worth making.

Stunningly beautiful!

By Jo Z |

Stunningly beautiful! This park is a must see add on to any Yellowstone trip. The scenery and wildlife are mind blowing. I was really impressed with this park. There were great flat cycle paths too that were popular. I would recommend it.

Beautiful drive, Yellowstone much better

By Jay D |

I'm sure it is personal preference, but Yellowstone was much more magnificent than the Grand Tetons. Not to take anything away from the Grand Tetons, the views are spectacular oh, but Yellowstone has much more unique features.

Grand Teton's

By Delainija |

Just Beautiful, lots of nature so many people out exercising and just being active with family. If you like to be outdoors breathing the fresh air then this is the place for you. September was busy but I can't imagine going any other time. The weather was great and it was busy but not over crowded.

Absolutely One of the Most Beautiful National Parks

By Carla V |

We stayed in a campground within the park. Each day we were driving to different parts of the park, always stopping to take photos (the mountains are ever changing during the day). We even drove up through the southern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. This was mid-September - ended up in our first snow storm of the year! The roads were getting closed, we were able to stop at the Grant Village where only one small store remained open because of the snow.

Beautiful Place!

By WildlifeWatcher64 |

The scenery was beautiful and I saw my very first bear! Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake were beautiful to see. The park wasn't too crowded this time of year.

Fantastic visit with husband and toddler

By amesi |

So, so beautiful. Visited Memorial Day weekend and there were plenty of people but didn’t seem overly crowded. 3 full days in the park and I’m sure we could have spent even more time. On the 4th day, stopped at Sleeping Indian Overlook and Albright View Overlook for sunrise before out 7a flight out of JAC. Pro tip: sit on the left side of the plane for takeoff and right side of the plane for landing to view the Tetons from the air.

Beautiful Awesome Mountains

By vaughanm1976 |

Seeing pictures does not do justice to seeing in person. Awe inspiring mountains and valleys. We used an audio guide as we drove the park roads and stopped at the many overlooks. Walked a few trails.

Bear Spray demonstration

By gorgegrl |

While at the Colter Bay Visitors Center we asked the park ranger about our bear spray. She was happy to explain how to use it and they have a can they use as a demo so you can try it out.
I'm sure other Visitor Center's probably have the same, but this was SO helpful.

Do not skip if going to Yellowstone!

By MemoriesHoarder |

Although smaller than Yellowstone, I think this is much more majestic and beautiful than Yellowstone. Last year I came here TWICE, during winter and during summer. Definitely recommend summer as winter has a lot of roads closed, unplowed. The hiking is great of course but it's got a recently installed (renovated?) biking trail system that is the best I've ever seen at national parks. It's an absolute joy to be biking through the trails and having that gorgeous mountain range to your left or right. If you're going to Yellowstone, it's just a short ride farther south. It would be such a shame if you missed this while already there.

The Grand Tetons are wonderful, and we should give thanks to the Rockefellers for bringing the park into being.

Breathtaking views!

By Clay C |

Jenny Lake trail was a great hike and we saw a moose and her calf. Saw wildlife every time we went out and sunsets over the Tetons were amazing

Another one of our nation's beautiful national parks

By Tricia B |

Some of our top adventures in Grand Tetons NP included: Jenny Lake trail, the 42 mile scenic route, Menors Ferry Historic District, and Chapel of Transfiguration. The fishing was not as good as we anticipated; other parks seem to do a better job of stocking their waters. We stayed 4 nights in the area and would probably shorten it by a day if we were to do it over. The picnic areas in the park could certainly use some tlc. We would like to visit in winter when the elk are down from the mountains.

STUNNING

By Kjfa15 |

We absolutely loved our time in Grand Teton. It is beautiful there. We loved the trails, views, our stay at Colter Bay and the wildlife that is all around. Absolutley a must see!

Breathtaking!

By Caligurl1984 |

Absolutely stunning place to visit. A plethora or trails and hikes for all ages. We stayed here 2 days on our way to Yellowstone.
I recommend Jenny lake and hiking to Hidden falls and Inspiration Point and into Cascade Canyon. You can even take a shuttle across Jenny Lake to cut the hike.
Moose-Wilson Road is a great drive to see moose. Go early!
See Mormon Row.
Hike Taggart lake or Phillips lake but go early as most trail heads fill up.
Visit the town of Jackson!
Photograph Schwabacher's landing.

Beautiful Park

By kava-kauboi |

Grand Teton National Park is absolutely amazing. There is plenty to do there for all outdoor enthusiasts. I highly recommend kayaking in Jenny Lake.

Beautiful contrast of sky and valley, and the Snake River

By M7574NObarbarap |

Loved the fresh pine air, bright sun, and contrasting colors of the valley and early Fall colors. Roads were easy to drive. Saw some moose, many elk (especially at dusk). I've read a lot about the early trappers and explorers of the reagin and following the Snake River was beautiful! Took a rafting trip with a guide. It was fun and safe One of America's prettiest Mountain Ranges

Stunning scenery

By Kate P |

We visited the Grand Tetons in early October and loved the stunning mountains and scenery. We did 3 hikes and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Highly recommend spending some time here.

OMG!

By Christina H |

When people say pictures don’t do it justice… it’s soooo true! We did the 42 miles scenic drive, Jenny Lake boat ferry, long and amazing hike at Jenny Lake.
It was totally amazing.

GO EARLY!!!

Cuz in your GTNP

By D-31947 |

GTNP Was a great tour Ecotours a great success. Steve our driver was able to show us 11 mouse, a bunch of prong horn antelope, a herd of elk. It was aw inspiring BEAUTIFUL
Scenery. Mnts were snow caped

Head to the mountains...6/22/23

By John P |

As a teenager I had a Busch Beer poster in my room featuring these beautiful peaks. Now I got to drink them up with my own eyes. We visited Jenny Lake and reveled in the splendor of snow capped mountains. I was in Heaven.

Hike

By Dal J |

Favorite place to hike. No where like it. Take your time, get out of your car. Get to the bottom of the Tetons and look up. Amazing

This is it!

By Becky V |

Grand Teton is beautiful and spectacular! Driving around is easy and the sights are wonderful.
Many places to stop and take pictures.
Also several hike destinations which are amazing.

A Place to See to Believe

By erodrig26 |

It has been a few years since I've been here but I have to say the scenery is just spectacular. The drive around the area is just stunning. The mountains are so close. I was in Denali this past September and I have to say this is a much better trip for the view of the mountains, lakes and wildlife. Some areas are closed off because of Covid-19 but you do get to see most of the area.

In late afternoon, a photographer's paradise!

By jetsly |

The Grand Tetons is one of our favorite national parks, and one that we love to visit in the last hour before the sun dips below the peaks. Here you can film light, shadow, and light and shadow combined. It just takes a few tricks to defeat the sun that is trying to ruin your photographs with a bright flare.
Here is the first trick to film directly into the sun: find a tree with a thick enough stump so that you can position yourself and not see the sun. If you can't see the sun, the sun can't invade the lens of your camera! Use the trunk fully to conceal the sun, and shoot what the lens gives you with the trunk framing to left or right.
Second, zoom in as tight as possible on an object at the center of the image.
And third, of course, wait until the sun has slid behind one peak, but is still brightly illuminating another! Photography is fun!

Beautiful

By Chris J |

Beautiful. My wife and I drove and drove. It snowed that morning so there was a fresh layer of the white stuff. Grand Teton is absolutely stunning. Take your time and take it all in.

Awesome!

By Elsa |

You have to stop here when in the area. Of course you will enjoy seeing the gorgeous nature. This is a must do! Be sure to bring a picnic lunch and bottled water.

VIEWS

By Stendel |

An absolutely beautiful park. We took the 42 mile scenic loop drive. We went early in the morning as you have a better chance to see more wildlife. We saw elk, deer , and bison. This beautiful drive gives you many turnouts for gorgeous views and overlooks. There are many trails but we choose not to hike. The road is paved and well maintained. Take your time and enjoy this amazing park and it’s amazing views.

Please take your time

By dads2vette |

Only thing that could have made this trip better was if the rain stayed away for the first 4 days/nights. Spectacular, incredible, breath-taking, awe inspiring...words can not fully explain the beauty of this National Park. There is no "one place" you need to see, you can find amazing views everywhere. Take your time and let the park come to you. We tried to avoid the crowds near animal jams and were rewarded several times with surprises with few other visitors near us.

Amazing!

By Mary Beth B |

Absolutely beautiful! The Teton peaks are amazing and the meadows are gorgeous. The golden leaves of the Aspen trees, in all their yellow glory, against the powerful gray of the mountains is something I won't soon forget. We were lucky enough to see a bison, a moose and her baby, and many pronghorn sheep during our drive. Jenny Lake is absolutely serene and crystal clear! It truly is uplifting and joyful to take some time in the Grand Tetons park. Please note, however, that signage is a bit misleading in the park. Along the main road, before turning into GTNP, a sign says that Yellowstone is 55 miles away. Yes, it is... to the very border of Yellowstone. Old Faithful Geyser is another 1.5 or 2 hours away into Yellowstone. Also, within GTNP intself, many of the stopping points ( restaurants, gas stations, gift shops, etc.) are closed at this point in the year. The only indication of this is right at the entrance to the Park where you pay to go in. If you miss the posting, you will not know that the service area you're aiming for is closed. One last mention is that Jenny Lake is certainly worth stopping at. Smaller than Jackson Lake, it is nonetheless gorgeous. There is a sign saying that a good hike near the lake is 2.8 miles. Not being hikers, or even having water or such for a hike, we decided to do it. But we could not figure out what the 2.8 mile length brought you to. There are no further signs. It is clear to the eye that the lake is definitely a long hike to go all around, probably more like 10 miles at least. There was mention of a waterfall at some point, but again no signage to tell you where. We asked people coming the other way what their experience was. Many had hiked for a greater part of the day and since it was 3:30 p.m. or so, they did not advise going onward. (Plus, they probably summed us up as "newbies" too.) Hate to say anything at all negative about GTNP because the visit was something I will never forget... beautiful, wild, stunning. Just a few more signs or notices or such would make it a more time managed and safer experience.

Beautiful park

By Diana R |

We loved Grand Teton National Park. The views were amazing. Around every corner it seemed we needed to stop and take pictures. Beautiful doesn't come close to describing the views.

Must See National Park

By 8ric |

This park has moose & bear viewing opportunities, plus the stunning views of the Tetons just can not be compared to Yellowstone NP just North. There are plenty of scenic drives that can betaken to really get some epic views of the craggy Tetons (bring binoculars) . But in order to really appreciate this NP you will have to get out of your vehicle and do some day hiking. Hitting the trails will open up so much more!

Amazing Adventure

By buckinut33 |

Nature is awesome and the Teton's won't disappoint. Great hiking, breathtaking beauty, awesome wildlife. So many great things about this park and it is very close to Yellowstone, so you can hit two great National Parks on back to back days.

Absolutely AMAZING!

By JMaria87 |

Amazing! Beautiful! Breathtaking! Those are just a few words to describe this gorgeous place. We visited the park and surrounding areas for 4 nights and 5 days and loved every single minute of it. If you love to hike then this is the place for you, there are some amazing trails for all skill levels. We also got to see tons of wildlife including a moose and her baby and a grizzly mama and her three cubs. You never tire of seeing the gorgeous mountains and it’s amazing that their appearance will kind of change with the weather. It would be almost impossible to not enjoy this place.
