Greetings from Grand Teton National Park

This summer I took my family on a road trip! We visited Sequoia NP, Yosemite NP, Grand Teton NP, Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP, Battle of Little Bighorn NP, and Mount Rushmore! We had SO much fun discovering the little things that make each park special. My personal favorite is the Grand Tetons. We fished, rode horses, hiked, and floated the river while soaking up the picture perfect scenery surrounding us! The mountains, rivers, and trees are surely some of God’s most beautiful handiwork! My family looks forward to the next time we hit the road and explore more of our nations National Parks!

Sincerely,
Julia Carpenter

Grand Teton National Park

This spectacular destination preserves a dramatic stretch of the Teton Range bordering the Snake River. One of the unusual features of these distinctive mountains is the absence of foothills, meaning that there are no smaller mountains blocking the view. The park also features glacier-carved lakes, a historic district of weathered buildings made by 19th century Mormon homesteaders, and an abundance of wildlife large and small, including nearly 1,000 bison that roam the grassy fields in herds.

State(s): Wyoming

Established: 1929
