The Grand Teton National Park is located in northwestern Wyoming, where you will find pristine lakes and extraordinary wildlife among these majestic mountains. The abrupt vertical rise of the jagged Teton Range contrasts with the horizontal sage-covered valley and glacial lakes at their base.

The Grand Teton can also be skied in the winter. The first person to descend on skis was Bill Briggs, noted as the first to ski the Grand Teton on June 16, 1971.
This world-renowned scenery attracts nearly four million visitors per year.
