"Did the full-day tour and it covered so much ground! The highlight was definitely the Jenny Lake boat ride. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the 2.6 billion-year-old rocks. It's a long 8-hour day, but they kept us fed with great deli sandwiches."

"The sunrise tour was absolutely worth the early wake-up call. We saw a grizzly bear from a safe distance using the binoculars our guide provided. The breakfast burrito was a nice touch while watching the sun hit the peaks at Oxbow Bend."

"Our guide knew exactly where to find the elk herds. The weather got a bit chilly as the sun went down, so definitely bring layers like they suggest! The pickup right from our hotel in Teton Village made the logistics a breeze."

"Booked the sunset tour for photography. Seeing the T.A. Moulton barn at Mormon Row during golden hour was top notch. Had to pay the extra non-US resident fee, but the wildlife spotting made it worthwhile. Saw two massive moose!"

"Since we had our 4-year-old, we had to book the private sunset tour. It was perfect because we could go at our own pace. The guide was so patient with our kid, and the turkey and provolone sandwiches were delicious."

"Took the full-day coach tour from Jackson. The bus was super comfortable. Loved the stop at the Chapel of the Transfiguration; the view out the window behind the altar is unreal. Great snacks and bottled water provided throughout the day."

Plan Your Visit to Grand Teton

Grand Teton National Park is open 24 hours every day, year-round. However, seasonal variations heavily affect facilities and roads.

  • Summer (May - September): Most roads, campgrounds, and visitor facilities are fully open. For example, the Colter Bay Visitor Center operates from May 8 to September 30.
  • Winter (November - April): Severe weather conditions mean all campgrounds, most visitor facilities, and several park roads are closed or operate with significantly reduced hours.

If you arrive when an entrance station is unstaffed, you can drive through but are required to pay your entrance fee online or at a visitor center later.

Getting to Grand Teton is highly convenient due to its proximity to Jackson Hole.

  • By Plane: The Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) is the only commercial airport located entirely within a US National Park, offering stunning immediate views of the Tetons and easy rental car access.
  • By Car: If driving from Salt Lake City (SLC), expect a 300-mile journey taking about 5 hours. You will enter the park's Moose Entrance from the south via Highway 89.
  • By Bus: During the summer, Alltrans operates a public shuttle service from downtown Jackson to various locations within the park for $14.00, running from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM.

The absolute best months to visit are May through September. During this busy summer season, visitors can enjoy a full range of ranger programs, hiking trails, and water activities like kayaking on the glacial lakes.

If you are visiting during the summer, arrive at popular spots like the Jenny Lake Visitor Center before 10:00 AM to secure parking, as lots fill up quickly. Be prepared for aggressive mosquitoes near the water by packing high-quality insect repellent.

Avoid visiting from November through April unless you are specifically prepared for harsh winter conditions and widespread facility closures.

Grand Teton National Park offers excellent options for visitors with limited mobility.

  • Visitor Centers: The Craig Thomas Discovery, Jenny Lake, and Colter Bay visitor centers feature paved, flat routes, push-button doors, accessible restrooms, and wheelchairs available to borrow.
  • Trails: A fully paved, six-mile multi-use path runs along Teton Park Road. Other accessible trails include the Colter Bay headwall, Jackson Lake Dam overview, and the Jenny Lake shore trail.
  • Tours: The park offers accessible bus tours with lifts (advance notice required) and scenic lake cruises, though boarding boats may require navigating 1-2 steps.

Grand Teton is a cashless park as of May 2026, meaning all entrance fees and permits must be paid electronically. The standard entrance fee is $35.00 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days.

Facilities within the park include multiple visitor centers, campgrounds, and lodges, though all lodging and camping require advance reservations that often fill up months ahead. Accessible cabins at places like Signal Mountain Lodge can book out up to 17 months in advance.

For safety in bear country, heavy metal bear boxes are provided at campsites for storing all food, coolers, and scented items.

To protect the park's fragile ecosystem and wildlife, strict rules are enforced:

  • Drones: Launching, landing, or operating unmanned aircraft is strictly prohibited everywhere in the park.
  • Pets: Dogs must be kept on a leash of 6 feet or less and are restricted to within 30 feet of roadways. They are not allowed on trails, multi-use paths, or in visitor centers.
  • Wildlife: Visitors must maintain a strict distance of at least 100 yards from bears and wolves, and 25 yards from all other wildlife. Feeding or harassing wildlife is illegal.
  • Collecting: Gathering natural or historic items, including wildflowers, artifacts, or elk antlers, is forbidden.
