A Bit About Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park is a dazzling landscape of jagged peaks and glacial lakes. Located in Wyoming, the park spans 310,000 acres and is home to some of the clearest alpine lakes and most abundant wildlife in North America.

Keep your eyes peeled for moose and elk grazing in the meadows, bison wandering through the grasslands, and black bears foraging for berries in the forests. Aside from its critters, this park beckons outdoors enthusiasts to hike through the backcountry, take a boat tour, or set up camp under the stars.
