Grand Teton National Park

Boasting 310,000 acres of lush valley floors, mountain meadows, alpine lakes, diverse wildlife and the jagged peaks of the Grand Teton Mountain Range, Grand Teton National Park is a must for both nature lovers and outdoor adventurers. Rising out of a fault in the earth’s crust, the crystalline peaks of the Grand Tetons are a prime example of a fault-block mountain formation, and their dramatic appearance is breathtaking no matter the season. To come upon them is to see what America’s first settlers saw when they traversed the western frontier – and a stop by Moulton Barn will show you exactly what it would have looked like.

A subrange of the Rockies, this incredible expanse has human history going back 11,000 years with nomadic Indians, American Indian tribes, early American explorers and permanent settlers once calling this national park home. Today, you can explore the park’s extensive past and stunning beauty through visitor centres and ranger-led tours, or you can take in the magnificence at your leisure. Go hiking over more than 200 miles of trails. See over 350 species of animals. There are equally impressive opportunities for photographers and rock climbers too. Stay overnight at a campsite or in comfortable lodging within the park – it’s well worth the trip whether you spend a few nights or just drive through.
