Park Highlights

Best Things to Do in Grand Teton

From the Jenny Lake boat shuttle to sunrise at Mormon Row — the experiences that make Grand Teton the perfect partner park to Yellowstone.

Jenny Lake & the Boat Shuttle

The crown jewel of the park. Take the boat across to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point, then continue into Cascade Canyon for a half-day hike with continuous Teton views.

Mormon Row at Sunrise

The most photographed barns in America. The T.A. Moulton Barn glows pink under the Cathedral Group at first light — be set up 30 minutes before sunrise.

Schwabacher Landing

A still side-channel of the Snake River with a perfect mirror reflection of the Tetons. Best at sunrise; moose, beaver, and trumpeter swans frequent the area.

Snake River Overlook

Ansel Adams' famous viewpoint. A short pull-off on US-89 with a sweeping view across the river bend to the entire Teton Range.

Signal Mountain Summit Road

A 5-mile paved drive to a 7,727-ft summit with the single best 360° overview of Jackson Hole, the Tetons, and the Snake River valley.

Taggart Lake Hike (3.0 mi)

A family-friendly walk through aspens and burn-recovery meadows to a glacial lake with the Grand reflected in still water.

Antelope Flats Wildlife Drive

A quiet loop east of Mormon Row — bison herds, pronghorn, and the best chance to see all three on one drive.

Chapel of the Transfiguration

A tiny log chapel framing the Cathedral Group through its altar window. Free and quietly stunning.

Phelps Lake & the Jumping Rock

A 4-mile hike from the Laurance Rockefeller Preserve to a famous lake-edge jumping rock at the base of Death Canyon.

Jackson Hole Aerial Tram

A 4,139-ft vertical ride up Rendezvous Mountain in Teton Village for breakfast at Corbet's Cabin and the best high-elevation Teton views without hiking.
