Grand Teton National Park is 485 square miles rich in extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes, hiking trails, a multi-use pathway system, the Snake River and, oh yes, serenity. And did we mention the majestic, awe-inspiring Teton Range that runs the length of the 93-yearold park? Getting close to those mountains alone is worth the price of admission.

The world-famous Tetons are “what mountains are supposed to look like,” Theodore Roosevelt once remarked of the spectacular range, which is actually a young one—a spry 10 million years old. It was formed when multiple earthquakes along the Teton fault line pushed the peaks upward, in what is known as a “fault block.” Huge glaciers then sculpted the range into the jaw-dropping, rugged rock spires you see today.

In addition to these magnificent mountains, the park is dotted with the historic dwellings of the valley’s earliest homesteaders and is still inhabited today by many of the West’s iconic wildlife.

Grand Teton is equal parts “see” and “do”— maybe even more “do”! Truly a hiker’s park, its mountain trails are among the most accessible of any national park. In addition to hikers, it also attracts world-class climbers and extreme skiers.
