FREE Resources for Discovering Grand Teton National Park

Are you waiting to take a family vacation this summer? Many of our plans have been cancelled and we are having a hard time with it. We are still trying to get out in nature and explore the best that we can locally. Thankfully, there are some amazing online resources to explore from the comforts of your home. Your family will enjoy these free resources for discovering Grand Teton National Park.

Grand Teton National Park is located in Northwestern Wyoming only 10 miles from the famous Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the most scenic national parks in the world with the Grand Teton mountain range being the center point of the park.

Grand Teton is smaller than its sister park Yellowstone, but full of breathtaking views and hiking trails. It is full of rivers and valleys and home to forests, and wildflowers. There are 12 small glaciers inside the park. It has diverse wildlife and lots of large mammals such as grizzly bears, gray wolves, coyotoes, river otters, cougars, elk, bison and moose. 

Grand Teton National Park was actually established twice. Originally in 1929 to protect the mountain ranges and surrounding lakes. Then it was establsihed again in 1950 when the  valley floors as well as the Jackson Hole National Monument were incorporated into the park.
