Mother Nature at her finest. This is a beautiful park. There are plenty of pull outs to see the views. I would recommend a couple of days. We were only in the park one day, and we did not get to see everything. I recommend packing a picnic and enjoying the views from the String Lake picnic area. After you are done eating, it is only a few minutes' walk to the lake. The restrooms were clean. The volunteer ranger gives you lots of information. It didn't seem as crowded as Yellowstone. We didn't have to hunt for parking spaces. I would recommend two days minimum at the park if you just want to sight see.

An absolutely gorgeous place! I spent 3 days here which was plenty for me as I couldn't hike because I had my dog with me. We stayed at Colter Bay and completed the scenic drive 4-5 times. Sunsets and sunrises are not to be missed. Every time we completed the scenic drive plus the side trips, it seemed like we saw something different. Wildlife isn't as plentiful as a place like Yellowstone, but it's definitely there and not to be missed when you get a chance to see it.

You don't need a park pass to see certain parts of the park. If you want to see the Tetons or Mormon Row, you can without a pass. The main attractions are very busy, so get there early or late, because the parking lots do fill up quickly. Lots of beautiful hikes and wildlife, and even if it is a popular hike, there are still bears and wildlife, so be aware. You don't have to hike to see a lot of the park, you can drive to a lot of thr places like the churches, dams, and you can see a lot from parking lots, so if you can't hike you can still see a lot. The water is clear, you can see straight to the bottom. The water is cold, but you can get in and swim or wade if you want to. It's something just about everybody can enjoy. There is a very nice bike path, you don't have to do the whole thing. There are plenty of parking lots along it, so if you want to do only a section of it, you can.

Grand Teton National Park is absolutely breathtaking. The mountains are truly stunning—no photo can ever capture the real beauty you see with your own eyes. I highly recommend stopping by the lake and taking in the view of the mountains from across the water. It’s an unforgettable sight. Even just driving around or taking a walk through the park is an amazing experience. The whole area is incredibly beautiful, and we really loved every moment we spent there. If you get the chance to go, don’t miss it!

There is so much beauty this park has to offer. I am glad I researched before we went. We took a shuttle boat across Jenny Lake and hiked to Hidden Falls. We sat and ate a picnic lunch at Schwabacher Landing and visited Mormon’s Row. We even took the Jackson Hole Tram to the top of the mountain to see for miles. No matter where you were in the park, it delivered amazing views of it’s majestic peaks.

I visited Grand Teton National Park this past June, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. The scenery is absolutely stunning; Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and wildlife everywhere. I saw three bears, a couple moose, and lots of elk! Sunrise at Schwabacher Landing was surreal. I also hiked around Phelps Lake, which was peaceful and scenic, and caught an epic sunrise at Mormon Row near the iconic barns. The park was well maintained, the rangers were helpful, and the trails were clearly marked. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, wildlife spotting, or just soaking in nature’s beauty, Grand Teton is a must-visit. I can’t recommend it enough, it’s a place that truly leaves you in awe. Already dreaming about going back!

Honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. Plus it’s not too crowded compared to Yellowstone so you really get to enjoy the nature. Id 1000% take this over Yellowstone anyday 😍

This park is large. Spend at least 5 days there so you can get to experience different parts of it. Jenny lake is great! Buy a national parks pass so you can enter as many times as you need. It connects to Yellowstone . These parks are not dog friendly due to wildlife
