Grand Teton National Park, established in 1929, covers 126 square kilometers in the spectacular glacial mountains of northwestern Wyoming. The park's highest peak, Grand Teton, stands at 4,198 meters, with glaciers still present. Among the glacial lakes dotted throughout the area, Jenny Lake is the most famous. Jackson Lake, formed by the damming of the Snake River, is the largest body of water in the area. The towering peaks, capped by millennia-old glaciers, create a scene reminiscent of a paradise on earth. The park is home to numerous herds of bison, elk, antelope, and many other mammals.

They say the scenery at Grand Teton National Park is just as good as Yellowstone, and I personally verified it: blue skies, snow-capped mountains, clear water, and elk taking a nap by the lake. I tiptoed over and pulled out my phone, and the staff on the other side yelled, "Hello, hey, you are too close!" They were probably worried that humans would scare the wild animals, or maybe they were worried the elk would suddenly stand up and charge at me.
See it? In the middle of the photo, an elk is half-lying by the lake amidst the trees. There are many bear warning signs in the park, so bears must be around frequently.

Grand Teton in autumn is arguably the most beautiful national park in the western United States. The snow-capped mountains, autumn leaves, and lakes are all elements of beauty. Grand Teton in autumn is truly stunning, with colors so rich they can't be melted away. The entire road and every tree are a sight to behold.
Xiaojimu said it was very similar to the scenery in Xinjiang. Because it is close to Yellowstone, many tourists only visit it as a side trip. If you have time, you might as well visit Grand Teton in detail and waste your time.
TIPS
The Grand Teton Mountains run from north to south, and all park roads are on the east side of the mountains. It is best to choose the morning for sightseeing and taking photos, as the afternoon is severely backlit.

Because this mountain is at a high altitude, the weather changes quickly and it is often surrounded by clouds and fog, making it difficult to see the top. Guide Xie said that it has been said that if you can see the highest point, you are lucky. We were very lucky along the way. The weather would turn good as soon as we arrived at a scenic spot. The same was true when we arrived at Grand Teton National Park. The sun was shining. Although there were clouds, we could still see the peak of the mountain from time to time. It seems that we will have good luck~

Grand Teton National Park, nestled in the northwest corner of Wyoming, boasts the title of "the most beautiful national park." The park primarily encompasses the 60-kilometer-long Teton Range, covering a total area of 1,256 square kilometers. While smaller than many national parks, it boasts a truly spectacular and picturesque landscape, seemingly concentrating the scenery of the entire Rocky Mountain range. The range boasts eight peaks exceeding 3,658 meters, with Grand Teton reaching 4,198 meters. Seven lakes are scattered like pearls at the foot of the mountains, and within the mountain range lie hundreds of other alpine lakes.

Grand Teton and Yellowstone are two completely different landscapes. This one is more expansive. The expanses of yellowish open land, overlooking the Teton Peaks in the distance, seem to have stood still.
Here are a few recommended photo spots:
Schwabacher's Landing,
Snake River Overlook,
Oxbow Bend,
Teton Glacier Turnout
Schwabacher's Landing
Grand Teton National Park is actually quite small, so a day is more than enough to visit. If you’re interested, you can even watch the sunrise and sunset.

When you think of Grand Teton, you immediately think of the Paramount Pictures logo. The snow-capped mountains towering over the mountains and waters create a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Once you enter the Grand Teton Territory, you'll find not only mountains and water, but also animals. As you drive, you'll often see a deer or two on the side of the road. As long as you're a few dozen meters away, these deer, unfazed by people or cars, will stroll leisurely.
If you're not in a rush, Grand Teton is a great place for backpacking, with its refreshing scenery and breathtaking scenery. Since we had to arrive in Yellowstone that evening, we only visited the Chapel of the Transfiguration and Jenny Lake Overlook. The Chapel of the Transfiguration, of course, features in every travelogue about the American West. If time permits, relax and relax on a wooden bench for an hour or so—I think that's the true way to experience Grand Teton.

Before reaching Yellowstone, we first visited Grand Teton National Park, stopping at two rest areas. From the vast expanse, the Grand Teton Mountains loomed in the distance. It was a pity that our team didn't plan to explore the lakes and rivers within Grand Teton National Park. Grand Teton National Park is located in the majestic Grand Teton Mountain Range in northwestern Wyoming, USA. The park's highest peak, Grand Teton Peak, stands at 4,198 meters and contains glaciers. Numerous glacial lakes are dotted throughout the park, with Jenny Lake being the most famous. Jackson Lake, formed by the damming of the Snake River, is the largest body of water in the area. The towering peaks, capped by millennia-old glaciers, create a scene reminiscent of a paradise on earth. The park is home to numerous herds of bison, elk, antelope, and many other mammals.

Grand Teton National Park is located south of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, western United States. Due to its proximity to the more renowned Yellowstone, Grand Teton seems to be a forgotten name, seemingly in an awkward position, like a hidden gem. It is often artificially defined, even subsumed, as part of Yellowstone, and as a result, few visitors remember its name.
But in my itinerary, Grand Teton is not an accessory. Today we will slowly savor both the east and west lines.

Grand Teton National Park is often overlooked as a must-see on the way to Yellowstone National Park. However, it's actually quite large and perfect for a few days. Enjoy boating, hiking, fishing, and picnicking in this tranquil park.

To get to Yellowstone National Park, you must pass through Grand Teton National Park. The park is famous for its 200-kilometer-long snow-capped peaks. Grand Teton Peak, at 4,198 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Grand Teton. With the Snake River flowing through, the towering snow-capped mountains soar into the clouds. The driver stopped the car specifically for us to take pictures. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of nature.

The scenery of the entire Grand Teton is very good, and there are morning views and evening views. I took a lot of photos of the snow-capped peaks reflected in the lake in the morning and the snow-capped peaks accompanied by the sunset glow in the evening.
There are especially many bears in Grand Teton. In Yellowstone, I have seen many bison and deer but no bears. In Grand Teton, I saw a bear every day for three days, and each time was closer than the last. The last time was right next to the road, and there was even an old white man taking pictures two or three meters away from it. He was really risking his life. I have also seen pelicans in Jackson Lake in Grand Teton, and pronghorn antelopes on the highway in Grand Teton. One night, I saw an elk right in front of my car on the highway. Fortunately, I braked in time and didn't hit it. It ran to the grass beside the road after I braked. In addition, there is a cattle farm in Grand Teton with many cattle, and outside the fence there are many bison grazing. The inside and outside of the fence are very harmonious.
There are 5-6 wolf packs in Grand Teton, known as the Teton Wolf Pack, but I have never seen any wolves.

The unique feature of Grand Teton is that you can see the snow-capped mountains from every angle. The calm lake and the snow-capped mountains rising from the ground are very spectacular.

The autumn in Grand Teton National Park is so beautiful. We walked along the west side close to Grand Teton Peak. Clouds floated on the mountainside, and the autumn colors were reflected in Jackson Lake. It was particularly magnificent.

Grand Teton National Park, nestled in the northwest corner of Wyoming, is known as the "most beautiful national park." The park is truly spectacular and beautiful.

Grand Teton National Park is at its most beautiful in autumn, when the surrounding leaves turn yellow and green, and their reflections on the lake are very beautiful.

The towering peaks are covered with snow that has not melted for thousands of years, and sometimes almost merge with the white clouds. Their extraordinary grandeur reveals gentleness, tranquility and mystery.
There is a series of glacier-formed lakes in the eastern part of the park. The mirror-like lake water reflects the sky and snow-capped mountains, making it feel like entering a fairyland on earth.

I originally planned to enter Yellowstone from Grand Teton, and Grand Teton was just a necessary route. But after seeing the scenery of Grand Teton, I was really conquered. It would be a pity not to visit Grand Teton.

Chinese tourists often visit Grand Teton while visiting Yellowstone, or even skip it altogether if time is tight. However, Grand Teton's allure simply can't be matched by Yellowstone, especially in autumn. While the trip to Grand Teton isn't long, the autumn leaves are stunningly beautiful.

The entrance fee to Grand Teton National Park is the same as other national parks, $30 per car. However, both times we entered Grand Teton from Yellowstone, we didn't pay for any entrance fees. Conversely, Jackson did charge an entrance fee to Grand Teton. I'm not sure if this has always been the case, or if there's a new reason.
Grand Teton is dominated by lakes and mountains. There are two routes to take, commonly known as the West Route and the East Route. The West Route is Teton Park Road, which has better scenery and is the route most people take, but buses cannot pull over. The East Route is Highway 191, which is in better condition, so buses usually take this route.

Grand Teton National Park is known as the most beautiful national park in the United States, but the scenery is relatively monotonous, and it is too close to Yellowstone Park and is covered by the shadow of the giant, so it is not very eye-catching. However, you should still visit here after visiting Yellowstone Park, because the feeling is completely different. If you can stay in the park for a day and watch the sunrise and sunset, it will be even more perfect.

To reach the most iconic Five Peaks Reflection Point, you need to walk from the main road onto a gravel road that has not yet been paved with cement. After a bumpy ride, we discovered that the reflected water is actually just a small river, part of the Snake River that winds far away.
I found the best spot to take pictures of the reflections of the five peaks. The five peaks and their reflections in the water complement each other beautifully, as if they suddenly came to life.
From the Titon Park turnout, you can see a panoramic view of the five Teton peaks. The Teton Mountains rise quietly in the distance, while the Snake River at their foothills appears and disappears amidst a forest. The yellowing leaves of the trees curve like a yellow ribbon, creating a vibrant contrast at the foot of the mountains. Beyond the trees lies the vast expanse of grassland, already turning yellow by the end of September, yet possessing a desolate and bleak beauty.

Grand Teton National Park is famous for its continuous snow-capped peaks. It stretches for more than 200 miles along the Grand Teton Range, with the Snake River flowing through the national park. The park's towering snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife together form a beautiful picture.

Autumn foliage, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and pine forests! Unlike Yellowstone, Grand Teton's scenery is renowned for its vast expanse, vibrant colors, and distinct layers. The loop is divided into an east and west route, and the west route is recommended, passing Jackson Lake, Jenny Lake, and Jackson Lodge. Best photo spots include Schwabacher's Landing (for views of the lake), Teton Point Turnout (for views of the snow-capped mountains), and Oxbow Bend Turnout (deep into the valley floor), all highly recommended.

We left town early in the morning and arrived at the entrance to Grand Teton National Park in about an hour. Remember to tell the gatekeeper you're adding your ticket to Yellowstone Park. Grand Teton wasn't actually part of our itinerary; we were just passing through. Since we had two days to visit Yellowstone, we were a bit tight, so we had to skip it. We chose the eastern route of Grand Teton, offering stunning views of the Grand Teton Peaks along the way, with Jackson Lake running through it. Most of the area is located within the Rocky Mountains, creating a breathtaking natural landscape.

It takes about 10 minutes to drive from Jackson to Grand Teton. You will pass by a GRAND TETON sign, and then another 5 minutes to reach the park entrance. After buying a ticket at the entrance, you will be given a map of the park.
Grand Teton is like a girl with a veil. Open the car door and take a deep breath, and you will feel your lungs have been purified. Stand by the lake and look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and you will feel your eyes and soul have been cleansed.
Faced with such beautiful scenery, I feel that words are insufficient. It feels like every photo I take is a postcard.

After exiting Yellowstone's south gate, we arrived at the snow-capped peaks of Grand Teton National Park in a little over two hours. From the moment we first laid eyes on the Tetons until they vanished from view, the snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows, lakes, and rivers were arranged in a continuous sequence, with distinct layers and harmonious colors, resembling a Chinese ink painting. Whether by the river, lakeside, roadside, at the foot of the mountain, on the mountain, or within it, everyone could find the scenery they longed for. Magnificent! Grand Teton!!!

We bought a pass for Grand Teton National Park. The ticket seller will give you a voucher and a guide newspaper about Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Don't lose the voucher, as it is also required for ticket inspection in Grand Teton National Park.
Compared to the overwhelming sights of Yellowstone, the journey to Grand Teton is much more relaxing. With verdant mountains and tranquil waters, we walked along the road, enjoying the scenery from a different angle. I personally prefer Grand Teton National Park to the natural landscape of Yellowstone.
Compared to the crowds at Yellowstone National Park, I personally prefer the tranquility of Grand Teton National Park. If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend that you stay here for a night, wake up surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lakes, and enjoy the gifts of nature.

Grand Teton National Park is so close to Yellowstone National Park to the south that its name is often overlooked.
The most famous is probably its Grand Teton Snow Peak, which is the logo of the American Paramount Pictures.
Grand Teton in autumn has its own unique charm and colors. The clear rivers and golden meadows bring a bright autumn scene.

The scenery is quite magnificent, it is actually a view along a mountain range. There was no snow on the top of the mountain at that time of year, I think it would be more beautiful in spring or early winter when the mountain top is covered with snow.
Actually, I didn't see any animals during my hike in Grand Teton. Foreign scenic spots have well-marked scenic spots, with the best observation points clearly marked. You don't have to search for them yourself; just follow the signs and take photos at designated spots to get the best views.

Grand Teton National Park is one of the most impressive parks in the United States. Its snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, rivers, and wildlife combine all the elements of beautiful scenery, all preserved in pristine condition. It's a must-see if you have the chance. It's also a photography paradise.

Grand Teton National Park is a north-south valley. From Jackson, take Highway 89/191 north to Moose Junction, where two roads split. One, known as the "North-South Highway," runs eastward along Highway 89/191. The other, Teton Park Road, crosses the park and connects to Highway 191 north of the park at Jackson Lake Junction. Because this route runs west, it's also known as the "West Teton Park Road." The park's most iconic attractions are located near both the East and West Highways.
East Route: Highway 191, there are many viewpoints along the way to enjoy the Grand Teton Mountains.
West Route: A highway within Grand Teton National Park, where you can get a close look at Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake, and enjoy boating and hiking.
Grand Teton National Park is sunny in the morning and backlit in the afternoon, so if you want to take good photos, it's best to visit in the morning. In addition, the scenery on the east side is more spectacular and charming than that on the west side.
Schwabacher's Landing is widely considered the best spot for photographing the Grand Teton sunrise. It's located at the end of Schwabacher's Landing Road, about 6.5 miles north of Moose Junction on the west side of US-191. A wooden sign reads "Schwabacher Landing." From here, a dirt road descends to the banks of the Snake River. Follow this road to the parking lot at the end. From the parking lot, it's a few minutes' walk to the river. On calm days, you can see the Teton Mountains reflected in the water. At sunrise, when the wind is relatively light, the morning light, the reflections, the mist, and the snow-capped mountains create a breathtaking spectacle.

Schwabachers Landing
Address: Schwabachers Landing Road, Grand Teton National Park, Moose, WY 8301 2, USA
At this scenic spot outside Grand Teton National Park, you can see the beautiful Grand Teton Mountains and it is a great place to take photos.
Jenny Lake
Address: Jenny Lake Trail, Grand Teton National Park, Alta, WY 83414, USA
Jenny Lake is the second largest lake in Grand Teton and a relatively important attraction on the western route. There are two popular ways to explore Jenny Lake: one is to hike the Jenny Lake Trail, which is approximately 10 kilometers long, and the other is to take a boat tour to the other side of the lake, followed by the shorter Inspiration Point Trail. However, during peak season, boat tickets must be booked in advance. Since we only spent one day in Grand Teton this time, we didn't visit this attraction.
Oxbow Bend Turnout
Address: John D Rockefeller Junior Parkway, Grand Teton National Park, Moran, WY 83013, USA
Exit Jackson Lake Lodge and drive southeast on US-191 for 5-6 minutes (about 2.6 miles). You'll find a parking lot on the right side of the road with a prominent sign. This is the famous Oxbow Bend Turnout location. It's widely considered the best spot for photographing Mount Moran. The Snake River, flowing from Jackson Lake Dam, makes a sharp bend in this depression, forming a small wetland that serves as a buffer zone for the river. This wetland has numerous water surfaces and lush vegetation. From a lookout point along US-191, the nearby Snake River is calm, while the distant Mount Moran and the northern peaks of the Tetons are reflected in the water. Illuminated by the rising sun, it creates a picture-perfect landscape.

Grand Teton National Park, with its magnificent snow-capped mountains, towering and handsome; vast and boundless grasslands, broad and unrestrained; and lakes embedded in between, lively and gentle. Except for a road and a few rest stops, it has completely preserved its original ecology. I didn't expect that here would bring me closer to the snow-capped mountains, completely making up for the regret of not being able to take a proper photo of the snow-capped mountains in Yellowstone.

[Key Points]
There are two ways to explore Grand Teton National Park: via the East and West routes. At Moose Junction, the road forks. The West Route, extending north from Moose, is the West Route, while the East Route is the East Route. The East Route itself is not within Grand Teton National Park; it's actually Highway 191. Most of the attractions on the East Route are scattered along the Snake River, offering a wide range of scenery. With the Teton Mountains as the backdrop, there's no need to stop at every stop. If you're short on time, the West Route offers a more diverse scenery, featuring both mountains and water (Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake).
Compared to Yellowstone, its scenery is simpler, but its beauty is pure and rare. But people mostly just use it as the southern gateway to Yellowstone and visit it on the way, which is a pity.

Arriving at the Grand Teton along the scenic road, I was instantly struck by its majesty! The pristine white snow-capped mountains, golden grasslands, and azure lakes formed a picture-perfect autumn scene. Continuing along the road, I noticed a number of cars parked along the roadside. Driving closer, I saw many tourists already armed with cameras, photographing the deer. (Pretty much any non-tourist roadside caravan has been spotted with wildlife.) The temperature in Grand Teton is still quite low in early October, and with the strong wind that day, my hands and face were numb from the brief moment I left the car to take photos. Remember to wrap up warm.

Breathtakingly beautiful streams and rivers may "suddenly appear" before our eyes at any time and encounter us at any time, so suddenly and so surprisingly, attracting a burst of admiration and sighs, but we have no way of finding where their source is.
Grand Teton has a variety of lakes and mountains. The snow-capped mountains in the distance are shrouded in the blue-purple cold air above, with a touch of white on the top of the mountain. They stretch along with us all the way, and we can see them standing tall in the distance wherever we go.

If you choose to enter the national park from the south gate of Yellowstone, you must first pass through Grand Teton Park. Don’t think that Grand Teton is an appendage of Yellowstone Park. The beauty of Grand Teton is more charming and delicate than the rugged and primitive Yellowstone Park.
Compared with the wilderness along the way, the autumn colors of Grand Teton are breathtakingly beautiful. Grand Teton is a place you must visit in your lifetime.

I bought a ticket for Yellowstone and went straight in. There was a speedometer at the entrance. I had only known that the mountain in this park resembled the opening credits of Paramount Pictures movies.
The park was quiet, with few people around. Most importantly, we saw a deer crossing the road! Cars stopped and waited, no one dared to make a sound.

Do you remember watching dubbed movies as a child? The opening scenes always featured a lion crouching atop a snowy mountain. That's right, that crouching mountain is none other than Grand Teton Peak, the most famous peak in Grand Teton National Park. The entire Grand Teton National Park boasts towering peaks capped by millennia-old glaciers, a landscape of peaks upon peaks, creating a scene reminiscent of a paradise on earth.
Grand Teton National Park has two entrances, one north and one south, as well as two east-west routes. To see the most stunning reflections of the snow-capped Grand Teton Mountains, I think the best vantage point is to enter from the north gate and continue north to Jackson Dam. From there, find the parking lot on the bridge pier, walk along Jackson Lake, cross the bridge, and then walk to the lowest point of the dam. In the early morning, the tranquil Jackson Lake reflects the snow-capped mountains on the opposite bank, and the sunrise over the Golden Summit is even more captivating.
After watching the sunrise, you can visit the other side of the dam, where the dam pours down with a breathtaking, exhilarating flow. The contrast between the dam and the tranquil Jackson Lake is truly remarkable, a fusion of stillness and movement. The waters of Jackson Lake surge through the dam, their boiling vapor creating a captivating rainbow in the morning sun.
Since the snow-capped mountains here face east from west, the best time to view them is in the morning. The eastern route is relatively close to the mountains, giving you the feeling of speeding right at their foot. At sunset, you can choose to return from the western route. By then, the mountains have lost their morning colors, and the crimson sunset glow sets off the majestic silhouettes of the mountains, creating a truly unique scene.
Many people say that Signal Hill in Grand Teton is the highest observation deck in the area. While it's quite high, I don't think it offers a good view of the snow-capped Grand Teton Mountains due to its angle. Instead, there's a smaller observation deck in the middle of the dam, just down from the north gate. Walking down from the deck, you can capture unique reflections of the snow-capped mountains in the early morning.

Grand Teton National Park is divided into two sections: the West and the East. I had planned to visit Jenny Lake on the West section on the day I arrived in Jackson, but the weather wasn't favorable, so I abandoned the West section. The next day, on the way to Yellowstone, I stopped by the East section. Other travel guides had described it as a lackluster destination, but it was actually much better than I'd imagined. The snow-capped mountains, visible everywhere, would have been even more stunning if they weren't obscured by clouds. However, their elusive presence added a touch of mystery...
We visited four spots on the east line of Grand Teton: Blacktail Ponds Overlook, Teten Point Turnou, Snake River Overlook, and Jackson Lake.

Grand Teton is a national park dominated by snow-capped mountains. Due to time constraints, we only took a few photos of the snow-capped mountains as we passed by. It is said that a hill in the park is the logo of the American Paramount Pictures Company, but unfortunately we compared it for a long time and were not sure which one it was.
At the parking lot on the highway outside the park, we not only saw an introduction to the history of Snake River, but also noticed a sign warning against flying drones. This was a big blow to me, having come all the way here with my drone to film.

Here... during our visit, there was nothing but snow-capped mountains, snow-capped mountains, and more snow-capped mountains. But in a few months, the park will be filled with herds of bison, elk, and antelope, but unfortunately, we didn't have that opportunity. We could only point to the distance and imagine herds of cattle and sheep lazily playing at the foot of the mountains.

The main attractions of Grand Teton National Park are the Grand Teton Mountains, Jackson Lake, and Jenny Lake. Since we had to rush to Jackson Town to stay overnight, we just took a quick look along the way and admired the lake and mountains from a distance.
The snow-capped mountains of Grand Teton are truly spectacular. Such vast expanses of snow-capped mountains are rare even in summer. It feels a bit like Mount Siguniang, but the difference is that Mount Siguniang feels steeper and the mountain ranges are narrower, while the views of Grand Teton are vast.

All you can see is the wind and snow, but no mountains. Grand Teton National Park is the starting point of Western culture.
In Grand Teton National Park, the snow was about calf-deep, making it difficult to walk. I followed the trail to the forest bathroom and deviated slightly from the route (up to 15 cm). When I stepped on the snow, it reached my thighs and I almost fell in.

Many people think Grand Teton is just an add-on to Yellowstone itineraries, but in reality, Grand Teton's scenery sometimes surpasses Yellowstone's. Yellowstone is like a tourist destination, packed with attractions large and small. Grand Teton, on the other hand, is like an art gallery, with every step a work of art. If you have the time, slow down and savor it.

The lake was covered with ice when I visited in May. I didn't see any beautiful reflections and didn't see Jinshan, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was able to take some nice photos of the corner scenery and even saw it.

Entering Yellowstone from the Grand Teton side, the weather changed suddenly. Suddenly, there was a strong wind and a blizzard. Facing such bad weather, I still felt a little uneasy. At this time, the Grand Teton looked like a wasteland.

Grand Teton National Park, established in 1929, covers 126 square kilometers and is located in the spectacular glacial mountains of northwestern Wyoming. The park's highest peak, Grand Teton Peak, stands at 4,198 meters, and features glaciers that still exist today. Among the glacial lakes scattered throughout the area, Lake Jenny is the most famous. Jackson Lake, formed by the damming of the Snake River, is the largest body of water in the area. Grand Teton National Park is renowned for its continuous snow-capped peaks, stretching over 200 miles along the Grand Teton Range, with the Snake River flowing through the park. The park's towering snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife all create a breathtaking spectacle.
Remember the famous Paramount Pictures film with a five-pointed star surrounding a snow-capped mountain? That background is the snow-capped mountains of Grand Teton National Park.
A brief summary of the East and West routes: The East Route is Highway 191, and the main viewpoints are on the East Route, especially the panoramic views of the Teton Range and the Snake River, suitable for a half-day tour. The West Route is within Teton National Park and mainly includes Jenny Lake, hiking trails, and winter skiing.

Our self-driving trip to the middle east and west of the United States is the most precious memory of our life. It also started our family's self-driving journey. After that, we drove all over China for 5 years. Now looking back at Yellowstone in the United States, it is so beautiful, so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.

Grand Teton National Park is much smaller than Yellowstone, but its scenery is particularly beautiful. It is most famous for its two lakes, Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake. The names sound like two lakes with stories. Jackson Lake is the largest natural lake in the park, while Jenny Lake is relatively small.
I wonder if you still remember that many movies start with a snowy mountain logo? This is the classic Paramount Pictures logo, and it's because of this that the Grand Teton, the prototype, has begun to attract more and more attention. The highest peak of Grand Teton Mountain was used for the scene, and you can see the highest point, but because it's far away, you can only take a photo from a distance. When driving in the national park, you often see small animals, the most common being deer. However, deer are quite timid and will run away if someone approaches. Later, I finally saw a deer that didn't run away when seeing people. Oh, it turned out to be an antelope.

I love Grand Teton very much and look forward to a deeper tour in the future...
Grand Teton is not big, and you can definitely explore it in depth in one or two days. However, many people who go to Yellowstone will give up Grand Teton because of time. It is best not to give up. It will definitely surprise you. ... I like this kind of quiet beauty. It is said that you can also ride a horse slowly, which will definitely give you a lot of different experiences.

Grand Teton National Park, located in northern Wyoming, south of Yellowstone National Park, boasts alpine terrain. Renowned for its continuous snow-capped peaks, it stretches over 200 miles along the Grand Teton Range, with the Snake River flowing through the national park. Within the park, towering snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife create a breathtaking spectacle.
Remember the famous Paramount Pictures film with a five-pointed star surrounding a snow-capped mountain? That background is the following set of snow-capped mountains:

It's very close to Yellowstone, and Grand Teton is right outside of Yellowstone. The main attraction is its main peak, which is the Paramount Studios (American film giant) opening logo.

Grand Teton National Park: Located in the spectacular glacial mountains of northwestern Wyoming, USA, it was established in 1929 and covers 1,256 square kilometers. The park's highest peak, Grand Teton Peak, stands at 4,198 meters, and features glaciers that still exist today. Among the glacial lakes dotted throughout the area, Jenny Lake is the most famous. Jackson Lake, formed by the damming of the Snake River, is the largest body of water in the area. The famous Paramount Pictures studio, with its snow-capped peaks forming a five-pointed star, features the snow-capped mountains of Grand Teton National Park in the background.
Although the lakes and mountains of Grand Teton are very beautiful, I always feel that these scenery can also be seen in other places. I can't tell that it is Grand Teton just by taking a few photos. Compared with the Grand Prismatic in Yellowstone National Park and the Joshua Tree in Joshua Tree National Park, its resolution is a little worse.
There are three main visitor centers in the park, namely:
Colter Bay Visitor Center
Jenny Lake Visitor Center
Craig Thomas Discovery & Visitor Center
There are two routes to the Grand Teton area: the west and east. If you're short on time, you can choose to explore one route or the other. We had a full day, so we explored both. There's an intersection on both the north and south sides of the route: Jackson Lake Junction on the north and Moose Junction on the south.
We entered from the south entrance. The route is: Jenny Lake - Signal Mountain - Willow Flats Overlook - Oxbow Bend Turnout - Snake River Overlook

This is so beautiful! Snow-capped mountains, lakes, and colorful forests. I recommend taking the hiking trail on the side of the snow-capped mountains. There are many small animals, and the mood is very good along the way. It's very local!

It is a place that tourists will visit when traveling to Yellowstone, but the mountain scenery is not inferior to Yellowstone. Every mountain peak is so natural and beautiful.

This is a fantastic scenic spot located right next to Yellowstone National Park. The Grand Tetons and Jenny Lake are the main attractions. The clear waters of the lake reflect the towering snow-capped mountains and the blue sky, creating a pure painting. There's a designated area within the park where you can light a bonfire. Pine branches are easily lit, making it a great place to warm your fire, cook, or even barbecue. It's a lot of fun. If you have time, stay longer and you'll see plenty of wildlife, including black and brown bears. The park is lush with trees and vegetation, making it a great place for hiking.

Grand Teton National Park is a close neighbor of Yellowstone National Park. Its beauty is very exquisite. God has splashed the most wonderful colors on this land for people to appreciate and linger.

Grand Teton National Park. Passing a hotel filled with stuffed brown bears and swans, we arrived at the observation deck. The scenery here is as beautiful as an oil painting. Nearby, low green shrubs lead to muddy yellow-green grasslands, which then connect to the clear waters of Jackson Lake. In the distance, mountains stretch out in a continuous line, with unmelted snow still visible on some peaks. Everything, framed by a blue sky and white clouds, looks like the work of a famous artist, or something from a dream.

The majestic Wulian Snow Mountain is a natural background and the best place to take photos.

Grand Teton National Park, a national park dominated by snow-capped mountains and lakes, is also the gateway to Yellowstone National Park's South Gate. It's said that Grand Teton, the main peak, is the logo of Paramount Pictures. There are two routes through the park: the south end meets at Moose Junction, and the north ends at Jackson Lake Junction. Both routes offer their own unique beauty, so we recommend exploring both.
In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains, Grand Teton National Park also offers many activities to do. In summer, you can hike, climb mountains, watch wildlife, take photos, fish, swim, row boats, etc.; in winter, it is also a ski resort.

It takes 10 minutes to drive from the south gate of Yellowstone to Teton National Park. Compared with Yellowstone, Teton is much smaller, but it feels more transparent and clear.

Hundreds of kilometers of snow-capped mountains, pristine forests, meadows, lakes, and a turquoise sky made it seem like a paradise on earth. It was the first time in my life that I had seen so many snow-capped mountains. It was truly breathtaking. I really should have stayed a few more days.

The main attractions on the west route are two lakes and one mountain: Jenny Lake, Jackson Lake, and Signal Mountain. The east route's scenic spots are scattered along the Snake River, so each viewpoint offers views of the Teton Range. However, many of them are similar, so there's no need to stop at every one!
Tips:
1) Whether you are traveling along the east or west route, it is best to visit in the morning because the Teton Mountains are on the west side of the two routes. Once the sun passes overhead, you will see the backlit Teton Mountains all the way.
2) If you have time, I strongly recommend spending two days in Grand Teton. You will discover its unique beauty!
Dozens of kilometers of snow-capped mountains suddenly appeared before our eyes, their long white lines standing aloft between the blue sky and the green mountains. For those of us who have rarely seen snow-capped mountains, the shock was unimaginable. Apart from raising our cameras and snapping away, we couldn't find any other way to express our excitement.
The hedge paths in the forest and the waterfalls in the mountain streams all made us stop.
I highly recommend visiting Taggart Lake. Because it's a lesser-known attraction than the other Grand Teton lakes, you'll definitely avoid the crowds. Whether you're taking a leisurely walk around the lake or just sitting quietly by it for an afternoon, it's a great option! Of course, for me, the most important thing is taking photos!
It has to be said that Grand Teton National Park can be regarded as the most beautiful park in the western United States. The mountains are beautiful, like a sword drawn from its sheath, piercing the sky. The water is beautiful, pure and blue, cleansing the heart. But

When you enter Grand Teton National Park, the first thing that comes into view is the snow-capped mountains, the edge of which cannot be seen at a glance.

Grand Teton is definitely not something you should just pass by in a hurry on your way to Yellowstone. It is worth savoring carefully, especially Grand Teton in the early morning, when the snow-capped mountains are reflected in the lake, and any photo you take will be a postcard-worthy one.

Grand Teton National Park's main attractions are the Teton Range, Jackson Lake, Jenny Lake, and the Snake River Valley. We took a circuit road through the park, gazing at the snow-capped Grand Teton peaks from various locations along Jackson Lake and the Snake River Valley. Jenny Lake is the perfect spot for viewing and photographing the Grand Teton peaks.

Grand Teton National Park is located just 13 kilometers south of Yellowstone National Park (separated by the John D. Rockefeller Memorial Parkway). A narrow stretch of alpine terrain known for its stunning snow-capped peaks, Grand Teton National Park stretches over 200 miles along the Grand Teton Range. The Snake River, a source of Yellowstone National Park, flows through the park.
Grand Teton National Park's towering snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife create a breathtaking landscape. Remember the five-pointed star-shaped peaks at the famous Hollywood Paramount Pictures? Those are the snow-capped mountains of Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is a famous tourist destination in the United States and a great place for hiking, mountaineering and boating.

Grand Teton is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and quiet lakes. The scenery alone is not inferior to Yellowstone. I even saw a female moose resting in the grass by the roadside. Jackson Town is definitely worth staying in for two or three days. The nearby scenery is beautiful and the animals are very active. We encountered foxes and weasels passing by.

We left Yellowstone National Park from its south gate and headed south, passing Grand Teton and stopping to take photos. It was beautiful.

Enter Grand Teton National Park. The park's most striking feature is its numerous peaks. The entire mountain range boasts eight peaks exceeding 3,658 meters, with Grand Teton reaching 4,198 meters. Their summits are capped year-round with snow. Three granite peaks stand out: Grand Teton, East Teton, and South Teton. It's a paradise for climbers, with dedicated mountaineering schools. The park boasts a series of glaciers and glacially formed lakes. Seven lakes are dotted like pearls at the foot of the mountains, while within the mountain range, there are hundreds of alpine lakes. Lake Jenny is the most famous glacial lake, while Jackson Lake, formed by the damming of the Snake River, is the largest body of water in the area. Glaciers, canyons, streams, lakes, and waterfalls can be seen everywhere. Grand Teton National Park is also a world-renowned wildlife ecosystem, home to the world's largest herd of elk, as well as bison, antelope, mink, beaver, and many other mammals. Its marshes are renowned bird habitats, home to over 200 species.

We entered from the south of Grand Teton and first went to the Visitor Center-Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center on the left.
Add: Teton Park Road, Moose, WY 83012
Here you can buy some Grand Teton souvenirs and get a free map. There is also a small museum here that introduces the past and present of Grand Teton.
We first went to the customer service center thinking we could buy the U.S. National Parks annual pass there, but we were told we could buy it at the door with our passports.
This is the entrance~~It's very simple~~You can write two names on an annual pass~~80 dollars a piece~~It was processed quickly~~And a map of Grand Teton was given~~

The snow-capped Grand Teton Mountains are a perfect spot for sunrise photography. A veteran hiker once wrote in his blog: "If you can stay four nights in Grand Teton, get up four early." Grand Teton National Park's main attraction is its two lakes and one mountain. On our second day in Grand Teton, after driving to Jenny Lake, where we'd hiked the previous day, and ascending Signal Mountain for a panoramic view, we arrived at Jackson Lake around noon.
Continuing south, you'll reach Yellowstone's South Gate, and beyond it, you'll find Grand Teton National Park. Unlike the breathtaking landscapes of Yellowstone, Grand Teton is a vast expanse of prairie fire. Driving through endless grasslands is like something out of a Western film. About 60 kilometers into the drive, you'll turn onto Grand Teton Park Road, heading west into the park. Americans love Grand Teton more than Yellowstone because its hiking, biking, rock climbing, boating, and adventure opportunities are even better there. While the entire Grand Teton West section feels a bit rushed, especially missing out on some attractions like Jenny Lake, parents are often overwhelmed by the experience. Forcing too much hiking might not be a good idea, so arriving early in the day at the quaint town and hotel, and planning a meal, is a better option. Tip: Grand Teton has a strict speed limit. Although most roads are deserted, try to avoid exceeding the speed limit. If you're speeding, follow the lead. There's absolutely no signal in the park (our three different phone cards and Wi-Fi didn't work either). Be sure to download an offline navigation system in advance; it's generally very accurate and, combined with the park's paper map, is foolproof. Driving through the western wilderness early in the morning and enjoying the desolation of nature is a unique experience. Tip: Offline navigation, including Google Maps, can be a bit behind the actual driving experience. Especially in national parks, where many photo spots are hidden, always pay attention to signs and slow down before approaching. The scenic spots along the Grand Teton East Route are mostly photo spots throughout Grand Teton. Most have parking lots along the highway, but some require driving down the mountain or walking down a fork. Be sure to pay attention to the subtle signs and, if you have time, stop at each spot to admire them. This scenic spot is about 10 minutes past the barn and is said to be the best sunrise photo spot in Grand Teton. The sign was quite unremarkable, and we had to follow the fork down the road. Following the offline navigation, we arrived at a viewing platform with a few cars parked there. The scenery was beautiful, but honestly, we weren't sure it was our exact destination and might need to continue down. The offline navigation said we had arrived, but there were no other suggested routes, so we were afraid of wasting time. The Grand Teton National Park highway is also incredibly beautiful in the early autumn. Farewell! Grand Teton, such a beautiful scenery makes it hard to leave.
