Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park is een nationaal park in Wyoming in de Verenigde Staten, ten zuiden van Yellowstone. Het park is genoemd naar de Grand Teton, een van de bergen van het Tetongebergte, 4197 meter hoog en de hoogste berg van het park. Het park omvat een groot deel van de onderliggende vallei, de Jackson Hole. Het Tetongebergte heeft zijn naam gekregen van een Franse pelsjager, die ze tétons noemde, Frans voor tepel. Het park heeft een oppervlakte van 1255 km² en is sinds 26 februari 1929 een nationaal park. Er is bijna 320 km aan wandelpaden in het park.

  • Simply amazing. We spent a day here but could have stayed so much longer. Easy park to tour by car and then park to go on multiple hikes. Don’t forget the Mormon village area for awesome pictures of the whole range.

  • Every bit as breathtaking as I ever imagined. Also - the wildlife is so flipping real! I've been going to Maine for a decade and have never seen a moose, but after being in the park for less than 30 minutes, I saw my very first real live moose!!!

  • The alpine lake and vast natural scenic open spaces makes this a great National Park. The park has many good lodges and is not as crowded. Best place to see Moose near Yellowstone area.

  • Did self guided tours. Ended at the park. Very beautiful. My wife already wants to return. First time here. Love it! Yes, we did see a couple bears. The hike to the falls isn't too bad, but glad to take the boat back.

  • It just cannot disappoint!! Even with the smokey weather and a bit of rain during our stay, everything has just been breathtaking. So much to see if you're into stunning landscapes!! You can literally see awe inspiring jagged peaks around every bend, and stunning, active wildlife to watch are sprinkled everywhere.

  • 1st time ever in this park and it was more than I expected. Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake were beautiful. The campground at Flagg Ranch was nice, but dirt roads and pads made it super dusty. Hope that gets upgrades soon.

  • Grand Teton National Park. The name says it. It’s the “Grand Tetons” of the park system. Beautiful at every angle the “Tetons” are a personal favorite. When I set out on seeing as many National Parks as possible this was my first I was awestruck. To say this place is beautiful is an understatement. This place is fantastic in Spirit and in beauty. Nature here is in full bloom especially in Spring which happens here later in the season more like late May early June. Even then it may snow so be prepared as weather conditions here are unpredictable that time of year but the guarantee of warming temperatures brings the most phenomenal bouquet of wildflowers you’ve ever seen. I am in awe of these displays of perfection and natural beauty that are put on by nature. Nature here just pulls out all the stops. There are bison, grizzly bear, pronghorn,elk, moose, rabbits, badgers and yes mountain lions. This is the site of literal purple mountain majesty. The sunrises and sunsets here are supernatural. “Supernatural.” The Tetons themselves are perfection! A trip here is life changing combined with once in a lifetime experiences. © Jerome Mogie Glover All rights reserved

  • This was my first visit to Grand Teton National Park and it was pretty amazing. We spent three days in the park and hit up all the normal activities. My personal favorite was the Jenny Lake hike. We took the fairy across and then hiked up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. From there we took the western side of the trail back to the car. The views are first class in the park. Having visited Grand Teton and Yellowstone this summer, I would go back to the Tetons for the views (and far fewer people than Yellowstone). Staying in Jackson Hole is expensive. We stayed over the pass in Victor, Idaho. That was a great move. More affordable and far fewer people.
