Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

The Jagged Peaks

About this city

Also known as: The Jagged Peaks

Grand Teton National Park encompasses a breathtaking alpine landscape in northwestern Wyoming, just south of Yellowstone. Dominating the view is the majestic Teton Range, a collection of dramatic, jagged peaks that erupt abruptly out of the valley floor without any foothills, culminating in the 13,775-foot Grand Teton. The park preserves pristine mountain lakes, the winding Snake River, and a vibrant ecosystem home to thriving populations of moose, elk, grizzlies, and bald eagles, offering some of America's most intense backcountry wilderness experiences.
