Grand Teton National Park

About Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park protects the major peaks of the Teton Range, the valley of Jackson Hole, and the northern sections of the canyon of the Snake River. The Tetons are among the youngest mountains in the Rockies, yet they rise abruptly from the valley floor without foothills, creating a stunning visual impact. Grand Teton peak reaches 13,775 feet, towering nearly 7,000 feet above the valley. The park is a haven for wildlife, including moose, elk, bison, and both black and grizzly bears.
