The Ultimate Guide To Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park , home to incredible scenic beauty!
With towering Teton mountain ranges, glacier-fed gleaming lakes with mirror-like reflections of the mountains, historical sites, and wildlife, the vistas at Grand Teton National Park are hard to match!
The snow-capped Teton Ranges, its glaciers, and the glacier-fed alpine lakes dominate the western scenery of the Park, whereas the eastern section of Grand Teton National Park is home to the Snake River and lush valleys. The Park also has a rich human history dating back several thousand years, initially inhabited by Paleo-Indians and Native Americans, followed by fur trappers and homesteaders. Only in the year 1926, the area was designated as a National Park to protect the natural resources, geological features, scenic beauty, and historic structures in the area.
Located in northwest Wyoming, just 30 miles south of Yellowstone National Park’s South Entrance, Grand Teton National Park is one of the most popular and visited National Parks in the US and is often visited along with Yellowstone. However, Grand Teton National Park is at a higher altitude and has a long winter, making June through September the best time to enjoy the outdoors at Grand Teton.
Grand Teton is one of the most accessible National Parks in the US, with five scenic drives and several roadside vista points and pullouts!
Grand Teton National Park, with its diverse landscape, including snow-covered peaks, glaciers, several pristine alpine lakes, waterfalls, various wildlife, and historic sites, is a popular hiking, mountaineering, and sightseeing destination in the US! The Grand Teton National Park can be explored by simply driving the Park’s several scenic drives, hiking the numerous trails, or boat tours to explore some of the pristine waters and hidden waterfalls in the Park.
Here is my ultimate guide to Grand Teton National Park, featuring essential trip-planning information, attractions map, hiking trails, suggested itinerary, and recommendations on hotels and restaurants in Grand Teton National Park!
Planning Your Trip To Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park is located just a few miles south of Yellowstone National Park, and I recommend visiting both the Parks on the same trip!
Best Time To Visit Grand Teton National Park: Located at a higher altitude, Grand Teton National Park receives a good amount of snowfall and has extended winters, making June through September the best time for sightseeing, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities in Grand Teton. Winters in the Park offers unique scenery and several winter sports in a designated section of the Park but comes with limited service and road closures.
June through September are the busiest months in Grand Teton National Park, and due to its popularity, the campgrounds and the lodges are often sold out during these months. So, if you’re planning to visit Grand Teton during the peak seasons, you must make your lodging reservations in way advance. If you don’t mind a little cooler weather, the shoulder months, May and October, are a great choice to beat the crowd in Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park Operating Hours & Seasons: The Park is open all year-round and 24 hours a day. However, all park facilities, including the visitor centers, park entrances, and lodges, are seasonal and are open only outside the winter months. Winter travel to Grand Teton can be tricky and requires careful planning, as there are winter road closures, wildlife closures, and winter sports are allowed only in few sections of the Park. Guided Park tours are an excellent option to explore Grand Teton National Park in winter. You will find more resources and information to plan your winter trip to Grand Teton on the NPS website.
Getting To Grand Teton National Park: Grand Teton National Park, located in northwest Wyoming, is quite far from the major international airports, making the regional and domestic airports the best choice to get to the Park. There’s no direct Amtrak train service to Grand Teton or Wyoming, and the closest Greyhound bus stop is about 230 miles from the Park.
- Flight: Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), Jackson, Wyoming, is located right inside the Grand Teton National Park and is the best airport to get to Grand Teton. The other airports near Grand Teton are – Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA), Idaho Falls, Idaho, about 130 miles from Grand Teton, Yellowstone Regional Airport (COD), Cody, Wyoming, around 150 miles from the Park, and Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), Salt Lake City, Utah, approximately 320 miles from Grand Teton.
- Train: There’re no direct Amtrak train services to Grand Teton National Park or anywhere else in Wyoming. The closest Amtrak station to Grand Teton is in Salt Lake City, Utah, about 320 miles from Grand Teton.
- Bus: Greyhound offers bus services connecting a few cities in southern Wyoming to other cities and states in the US. However, the closest Greyhound stops near Grand Teton National Park are located about 230 miles in Evanston and Rock Springs in southern Wyoming.
Transportation & Parking Inside Grand Teton National Park: The Park has parking lots at every vista point and trailheads. However, during the peak seasons, there’s a ton of traffic in the Park, and it might become challenging to find parking, especially during the late morning and afternoon. Unlike many other National Parks in the US, Grand Teton does not offer shuttle services inside the Park. You need a car to access the several vista points in the Park.
Time Required At Grand Teton National Park: Grand Teton National Park is not that huge, and with its several scenic drives and pullouts, it’s one of the most accessible National Parks in the US! That said, I recommend spending at least an entire day exploring Grand Teton. If you have more time, you could spend 2 – 3 days hiking, boating, biking, and fishing in the Park.
Lodging & Dining In Grand Teton National Park: There are quite a few lodging and dining options inside Grand Teton National Park, including seven campgrounds, seven lodges, and a few restaurants & cafes, but all are seasonal open outside the winter months. There are a few other lodging and dining choices outside the Park, which I have discussed in the later section of the post.
