Grand Teton National Park
Mountains of the Imagination
Rising above a scene rich with
extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes,
and alpine terrain, the
Teton Range stands monument to the
people who fought to protect it.
These are mountains of the imagination.
Mountains that led to the creation of
Grand Teton National Park where you
can explore over two hundred miles
of trails, float the Snake River or
enjoy the serenity
of this remarkable place.
Humans and the Teton Landscape:
11,000 years of history in 1,100 words
The human history of Jackson Hole and the
Teton Range dates back thousands of years.
The stunning beauty and abundant wildlife
and plants found here has drawn
humans to this place for
more than 11,000 years.
Nomadic paleo-Indians first entered
the Jackson Hole valley shortly after
Pleistocene Ice Age glaciers retreated.
They left behind tipi rings,
fire pits and stone tools.
Summers were a time of abundance, and
modern-day Indian tribes came to harvest
bulbs and berries, fish the lakes and streams,
and hunt wildlife.
With the approach of the harsh winter,
indigenous people followed their prey
out of the valley in search of milder weather.
With increased visitation, the park also saw
the need to expand visitor services.
As the National Park Service approached its
50th anniversary in 1966, visitor centers were built
at Colter Bay and Moose in the late 1950s to provide
information and offer ranger activities
as part of the Mission 66 program.
Adventure has always
drawn people to this area.
No one knows who first climbed the
Grand Teton.
American Indians built an enclosure at 13,280'
on a sub-peak of the 13,770' tall Grand Teton.
Although members of the 1872 Hayden Expedition
claimed to have reached the summit, William Owen,
Franklin Spalding, John Shive and Frank Peterson
made the first documented summit in 1898.
Many followed in the footsteps. Paul Petzoldt
and Glen Exum established the first
guide service in 1931, which still operates
today as Exum Mountain Guides.
Today over 90 different routes and variations
lead to the summit of the Grand Teton.
Today, all of the Teton peaks lure
climbers with the skills necessary for a summit.
This majestic place inspired and
sustained people for thousands of years.

We fell in love with the Grand Tetons at first glance. This video is our tribute to the lovely Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is located in the Wyoming State of USA and is very close to the Yellowstone National Park. The Teton Mountain Range is probably the most photogenic mountain range we have visited as yet. Grand Teton is the tallest mountain in the mountain range and gives its name to the National Park. Snake River, Jackson Lake, Jenny Lake and others add to the beauty if this Grand Teton National Park.

Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. It is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding National Forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world.
Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first White explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s. Efforts to preserve the region as a national park commenced in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the major peaks of the Teton Range. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any U.S. National Park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years.
Grand Teton National Park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found there. More than 1,000 species of vascular plants, dozens of species of mammals, 300 species of birds, more than a dozen fish species and a few species of reptiles and amphibians exist. Due to various changes in the ecosystem, some of them human-induced, efforts have been made to provide enhanced protection to some species of native fish and the increasingly threatened whitebark pine.
Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, fishing and other forms of recreation. There are more than 1,000 drive-in campsites and over 200 miles (320 km) of hiking trails that provide access to backcountry camping areas. Noted for world-renowned trout fishing, the park is one of the few places to catch Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Grand Teton has several National Park Service-run visitor centers, and privately operated concessions for motels, lodges, gas stations and marinas.

Signal Mountain Campground, Grand Tetons National Park
The Tetons first received government protection in 1897 when Congress created the Teton Forest Reserve out of land not included in Yellowstone National Park. In 1929, the central peaks of the Teton Range and a half dozen lakes at their base officially became Grand Teton National Park. In the mid-1930s John D. Rockefeller, Jr. bought 35,000 acres of property next to the park. In 1943 the Jackson Hole National Monument was created with a 221,000 acre tract of valley lands around the Snake River. By 1950 the original 1929 park was united with the 1943 Jackson Hole National Monument to create the present day 485 square mile park. The Tetons, rising abruptly from the floor of the Snake River Valley, are fault block mountains with their origin about 13 million years ago. Elk and pronghorn antelope make annual migrations through the park. Moose are seen around the Snake River wetlands and mountain lakes. Black bear and grizzlies roam the mountain slopes and wooded lake shores. The park has five campgrounds with 200 miles of trails to explore. The Colter Bay Visitor Center houses an Indian Arts Museum. Music by Malignant Choir and copyright 2008 by Maury Smith. Slideshow and photographs copyright 2008, Creative Juice LLC.

Video of Colter Bay - Grand Teton National Park, WY from Jess D.
Jess D.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Overbooked site but friendly staff
I got to Colter Bay village around noon and they had campsites still available, so we got one and put our yellow tag on our post right away. We left for the day and came back just after 8 pm and someone else was all set up in our spot and our yellow tag was gone. We had to drive around to find a place that was open to try and solve this issue because the campground was completely full and we would have no where to stay. A security guard came right away and was so friendly and helped us. We ended up sharing a campsite with the woman who accidentally got booked there. It was a simple human error and I ended up getting a refund. I appreciated the nice staff and the friendly campers a lot.
Besides that, this site is awesome. There is a ton to do within walking distance and tons of amenities offered. Our camp site was pretty big and had lots of trees around it, providing some nice shade in the morning. Apparently bears are common in this area, so locking up your food in the bear containers provided at each campsite is a must. We didn't encounter any bears and slept great. Went on a 2 mile walk on the lake shoreline trail and visited the visitor center for a while. Such a nice time!

Loved this park. Near enough to Cody that we could run in to shop or lunch at Irma's. Peaceful. the weather was great. Unfortunately, far enough fro Yellowstone t be a long drive. Still, I want to go back. It had boat ramps, hiking trails, volunteer hosts. It was pet-friendly.
