Grand Teton National Park
Jackson Hole is roughly 15 minutes south of Grand Teton National Park. There really isn’t a bad way to experience the park but our top recommendations are:
-
Taggart Lake Trail (Easy–Moderate | 3 miles round trip)
Jenny Lake + Hidden Falls (Easy–Moderate) | 4.9 miles round trip
String Lake – Perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or a relaxing picnic.
Phelps Lake Overlook – A short hike with spectacular mountain views.
-
Once you get through the Entrance Station, your first right will go to the Chapel of Transfiguration, a small chapel with an incredible view. Bring a dollar or two for their postcards.
Next proceed to Windy Point Turnout: while simple it’s a great photo of the Tetons. Make sure you turn your head around as the valley flat is a sight of its own. There is one tree you’ll see off to the right.
Continue on the main Teton Park Road until you get to the Signal Mountain Intersection. Take the road to the right up Signal Mountain and go to the top. Spend some time walking around when you reach the top there are multiple viewpoints of both the mountains and the valley.
Proceed back to Teton Park Road and continue north(right) until you get to the intersection of North Park Rd(89); take a right(east). Both the Oxbow Bend Turnout and Upper Oxbow Overlook are great stops. If you’re hoping to see an elk or a moose, these usually have a lot of nearby wildlife in the mornings and evenings.
Once to the intersection of Highway 26, head back south(right) toward town on 26. The Snake River Overlook provides the same view of the Snake River and Grand Teton that Ansel Adams famously shot.
By now you’re probably ready for a beverage. Continue on Highway 26 until you get to Moose Junction(where the loop started). Dornan’s Pizza Pasta is a must-do stop. The bottle shop at the entrance has a great wine selection, and Pizza Pasta will uncork and provide you with glasses. Head up to the rooftop and order a pizza.

Grand Teton National Park is a beautiful place to explore, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The park charges an entrance fee, which is typically based on the vehicle rather than the number of passengers. A private vehicle pass covers everyone traveling in that vehicle and is valid for multiple days. Individual entrance fees are also available for guests entering by foot or bicycle. Fees and pass options can change, so we recommend checking the National Park Service website before your visit.
