Grand Tetons National Park

Why the Grand Tetons stand out

With jagged peaks rising dramatically above calm alpine lakes, the Tetons are pure mountain magic. It’s the park I’ve visited the most and I could sit on a bench by Jenny Lake and stare at the peaks reflecting in the water for hours.

It’s peaceful, gorgeous, and unforgettable. And with one of the highest concentration of moose in the lower 48, it’s amazing for wildlife viewing (I saw that guy on the right, no stock photography there!).
