Why to visit Grand Teton National Park

The largest mountain in the Teton Range, Grand Teton, inspired the name of Grand Teton National Park. Grand Teton, the second-highest summit in the range, rises suddenly over Jackson Hole at 13,775 feet (4,199 m), more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) higher than Mount Owen. Ice that was up to 3,500 feet thick poured across the valley floor and down the mountains, sculpting sharp peaks like the Grand Teton and U-shaped valleys. There are currently twelve little glaciers in the national park, with half of them being located within the Cathedral Group, a cluster of the highest peaks in the range. The Grand Teton, which is the highest peak, rises 13,770 feet above sea level.

FAQ on Grand Teton National Park

What is the best month to visit Grand Teton National Park?

Grand Teton National Park is best visited in the late spring and early summer (the end of June & beginning of July). The peak season for tourism has not yet arrived, temperatures are adequate but still moderate, and wildlife is in motion.

How many days do you need to see Grand Teton National Park?

If you're a serious hiker, three days in Grand Teton National Park is the ideal amount of time. Additionally, you may extend your vacation to a week by combining it with our four-day Yellowstone itinerary. In two days, you can finish it, but you'll be rushed. One day is insufficient.

Do I need a reservation to visit Grand Teton National Park?

You can access the park at any time; Grand Teton does not require reservations or timed entry.

What is the best way to see the Grand Tetons?

Taking a 42-mile scenic drive around Grand Teton National Park is among the greatest ways to explore the park. The majority of the park's prominent attractions are passed through as this loop connects Highway 191 and Teton Park Road.

Special Tip

During June and July expect to find mosquitoes at varying levels. I recommend bug spray or wearing full sleeves light cotton clothes.
