Travel Notes: Grand Teton National Park

1. After exiting from the South Gate of Yellowstone, we drove swiftly and soon entered Grand Teton National Park. While sipping coffee and looking at the distant mountains, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's amazing!" Grand Teton National Park, located in Wyoming, USA, is renowned for its magnificent snow-capped peaks, serene lakes, and abundant wildlife. The majestic Teton Range is reflected in Jackson Lake and the Snake River, creating a picturesque landscape. Whether it's hiking, boating, camping, or simply stopping to admire the sunset, it's an excellent place to experience the grandeur and tranquility of nature. 😍🌄🏞️ 2. Generally speaking, one day is sufficient. Perhaps because we had just come from Yellowstone, we didn't feel as astonished immediately.
