On the northwest edge of Wyoming, the rugged row of mountains known as the Teton Range pops up out of a high mountain valley known as Jackson Hole. The national park was established in 1929, then expanded in 1950 to include more of the surrounding land. Grand Teton National Park landscape includes forests, grassy meadows, sage covered flood plains, lakes, rivers, and jagged alpine rocks. A couple glaciers can be spotted, hidden high up on the mountainside.
Activities are many: biking, hiking and climbing, horseback trail rides, fishing and boating, river float trips, canoes and kayaks. Even in winter the park is accessible for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.
We spent about a week here, and had lots of time to drive around and see both historic and scenic areas.
