The Best Information About Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park, named for the tallest mountain—over 13,000 feet—in Jackson Hole, Wyoming’s Teton Range. With more than 200 miles of hiking trails, Grand Teton National Park makes up part of the Rocky Mountains.

Just south of Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton celebrates nature daily. The Park’s most popular features are the Jackson Hole Valley, Burned Ridge (glacier) and the Snake River. The mountain climate contributes to a drastic temperature range in the area—from -43 degrees Fahrenheit to 93 degrees. In colonial times, the area served as a major hunting and fur-trading  grounds; but erosion and other geological factors have kept the mountains “under construction.”
