Cons: Grizzly bears may bite

I have been to Grand Teton National Park a few times with my family (2005) and on two parent tag along 4th grade class trips with my two boys (2004 and 2007). Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park are right next to each other. What we ...

Cons: Main road and trails can be congested in summer

If you only have a day in the Jackson area, don't try to "do it all" by driving 80-90 minutes out of town to Yellowstone. You'll end up wishing you had more time, and missing great sights - and probably most of the wildlife - trying to rush from geyser...

Pros: Pretty well everything; lakes, mountains, not busy

Cons: None. Combine with Yellowstone and be prepared to take a zillion pictures, all great.

A few years ago a friend and I went on a month-long camping trip across 6,000 miles of the American Northwest and the Canadian Rockies. We visited ten national parks along the way. GRAND TETON National Park was the crown jewel of that trip.

Pros: Tons of trails, beautiful views, plenty of photo opportunities
Cons: Not enough time to see it all!

I fell in love with Grand Teton National Park the moment I saw it. The mountain range is completely breathtaking due to its jagged peaks and sudden appearance out of the flat, sage-covered lands of Wyoming. I worked right between Grand Teton National ...
