Grand Teton National Park

Deep in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem resides a place of majesty and beauty, Grand Teton National Park. Established as a national park in 1929, Grand Teton covers 484 square miles of land and water. Over 200 miles of trail run throughout Grand Teton, granting visitors a chance the see the land as our ancestors did.

John Rockefeller, Jr. was one of the biggest contributors to the development of Grand Teton, and in 1972 Congress dedicated 24,000 acres of the park to his name. Known as the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway, this land provides a natural link between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park.

The Jackson Hole valley is one of the parks major attractions. Located east of the Teton Ranges the valley stretches over 55 miles in length and 13 miles in width. Jackson Hole is home to over 100 lakes including the 25,000 acre Jackson Lake. The 1056 mile Snake River, which forms the headwaters of the Colorado River system, also runs through the heart of the Jackson Hole valley.

Grand Teton is part of one of the largest temperate zones remaining on our planet. With over 1000 species of plants and 400 species of animals calling it home, this temperate zone is one of the most biodiverse regions in North America. The park is a must stop for lovers of nature from all walks of life.
