Grand Teton National Park — Attraction in Jackson

Two weeks ago we visited Grand Teton National Park and it was wonderful. We saw elk, chipmunks, a bald eagle, and beautiful mountains that go on for miles. We also saw a fat marmot sunning himself on a rock.

We first took a boat/ferry ride at Jenny Lake to get us to our Trailhead for Hidden Falls, a 1mi Roundtrip hike. This was another trail considered easy, but I think there should be different classifications for us Floridians who live at sea level. It was not easy, but it was great to experience nature and the powerful water flows we saw. The next section was Inspiration Point, another 1mi RT hike. The boss (my wife) suggested that if I wanted to do this hike, it would be John Wayne time, and I'd be on my own. Well pilgrim, I made it, and it was fun, and the views were spectacular.

Next we stopped to see the Teton Glacier. So many things look like glaciers to me out here, but then I will read a sign and find out they are just snow. Anyway, it was beautiful and I'm glad we got to see it.

On the way in and then out of the park, there's a slow, meandering drive from one end to the other, with most of the drive at 20mph, and I loved it. The birds were singing throughout, and I can't wait to go back tomorrow.

On Day 2, we realize that this park has scenery everywhere. We saw a running marmot, beautiful butterflies, wildflowers, some squirrels, all while listening to singing from my current favorite bird, the American Robin. It seems they are everywhere in this part of the country, and we're lucky for that.

Today we took the Taggart Lake Trail, which had some ups and downs, but was mostly flat, and long. We are sore but it was worth it.

On Day 3, we drove through the Grand Teton National Park again on our way to Yellowstone. We stopped at several overlooks and pullouts, hit a scenic road, drove to the summit of Signal Mountain, visited Jackson Lake Dam, stopped for some quality pizza (Grand Teton has excellent restaurants), and then ultimately reached the gate of our next destination. It was a 2hr drive that turned into a 7.5hr drive, and we loved it. I hope everybody gets the opportunity to visit this...

It is beautiful

Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming is a masterpiece of nature’s artistry, where jagged peaks pierce the sky and valleys cradle serene lakes. Its sheer beauty left me spellbound during my June 2025 visit. The Teton Range, rising dramatically from the Snake River plain, creates a skyline so striking it feels surreal.

Driving the 42-mile Scenic Loop, I was mesmerized by vistas at every turn. Jenny Lake, nestled at the mountains’ base, sparkles like a sapphire, its reflection of the Tetons flawless on calm mornings. A short ferry ride and hike to Inspiration Point unveiled panoramic glory—snow-capped peaks against wildflower-dotted meadows. For a loftier view, the Signal Mountain Summit offers a drive-up overlook where the range’s grandeur into focus.

Sunrise at Schwabacher Landing is unforgettable. The Tetons glow pink as mist dances over the Snake River, framing a scene photographers dream of. Oxbow Bend delivered another stunner, with moose grazing amid cottonwoods and mountains mirrored in still waters. Wildlife enhances the park’s allure—bison, elk, and even a fleeting glimpse of a black bear added to the magic.

The park’s accessibility amplifies its charm. Easy trails like Taggart Lake loop offer jaw-dropping views without grueling climbs, while backcountry routes beckon the adventurous. Minimal crowds in early summer let the landscape’s tranquility shine, though a vehicle entry system keeps things orderly.

Cell service is patchy, but who needs it when nature’s palette is this vivid? Grand Teton’s unspoiled beauty—its soaring peaks, crystal waters, and vibrant wildlife—makes it a sanctuary of awe, demanding reverence and...

As a first-time visitor to Grand Teton National Park, I was left awe-inspired by the sheer majesty and breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder. Over the course of two unforgettable days, I had the privilege of exploring this stunning landscape, guided by the knowledge and enthusiasm of a dear friend.

The towering peaks of the Teton Range stood proudly against the clear blue sky, creating a dramatic backdrop that seemed almost unreal. The jagged peaks, seemingly untouched by time, evoked a sense of wonder and adventure within me.

Driving through the park, every twist and turn of the road revealed a new and mesmerizing vista. The tranquil waters of Jackson Lake mirrored the surrounding mountains, adding to the park's serene ambiance. The abundance of wildlife amazed me as we spotted graceful elk, majestic moose, and elusive bison. It felt as if we were part of a grand symphony of nature.

Hiking trails offered a chance to immerse myself in the park's untamed wilderness. The scent of pine permeated the air as we meandered through forests, crossed babbling streams, and marveled at alpine meadows carpeted in vibrant wildflowers.

As the sun began to set, the golden light cast a warm glow over the landscape, painting the peaks in hues of orange and pink. It was a sight that will forever be etched in my memory.

Grand Teton National Park left an indelible impression on me, igniting a deep appreciation for the raw and untamed beauty that our world has to offer. It was a journey that awakened my senses and reminded me of the power and...
