Grand Teton National Park Travel Tips

  • The iconic granite spires of the park crown an arena rich with trekking trails, backcountry ski routes, vertiginous mountaineering and rock-climbing routes, and rolling pavement perfect for two-wheeled exploration.
  • Canoe pristine lakes in the shadow of 12,605-foot Mount Moran.
  • Float the Snake River in search of moose, eagles, otters, and great blue herons.
  • A classic Tetons overnight begins at the mouth of Paintbrush Canyon near String Lake. This 19-mile trek crosses the Paintbrush Divide to exit the mountains via Cascade Canyon to the south. It passes two exemplary alpine lakes and a host of campsites.
  • Tour the historic area surrounding two abandoned ranches, White Grass and Sky, on a network of dirt roads that takes off from the Moose-Wilson Road three miles south of Moose.

Grand Teton National Park Travel Guide

Long before you reach the entrance to Grand Teton National Park, your sights will be set on the towering spires of the Teton Range—those signature hornlike peaks made famous through countless photographs. From afar, Yellowstone is not as dramatic because much of the parkland comprises heavily forested mountains, burn areas, and arid, high-country plateaus. However, at closer glance, Yellowstone's natural marvels are startling: hundreds of geysers, scores of inspiring waterfalls, and a gorge—carved by time and water—that rivals the Grand Canyon. Both parks command the imagination and envelop the senses from the moment of arrival. Read More
