Grand Teton National Park is an icon in America's national park system. The familiar outline of the rugged Teton mountains is a symbol of the rustic, rocky mountain west. The pristine lakes, majestic mountains and extraordinary wildlife create a dramatic and spectacular landscape. Nearly four million visitors a year come to see the jagged Teton Range contrasted with the horizontal sage-covered valleys and glacial lakes.

The park is one of the most beautiful and revered destinations in our park system and justly so.
