Five stars - Grand Teton National Park is stunning…read more I visited during slow season - so there were activities not available yet like the Jenny Lake boat tour. But I still enjoyed myself as I was surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. I think I stopped at every overlook just to see the mountain range from different angles. My favorite spots were Oxbow Bend and Schwabacher Landing. Both places are great for viewing the sunrise. The wildlife is pretty active in the park; however, I did visit in spring when wildlife is the most active. I saw bears, moose, and bison. It was incredible. If you are into hiking, Grand Teton offers many hiking trails. Taggart Lake trail is one of the most popular ones and it is gorgeous. This is just a short review, there were many other things I enjoyed. Overall, an amazing experience.

Awesome find! Give yourself as hour and your kids will love you for it…read more There are HUGE boulders where the kids can climb just like a real rock wall but without harnesses. It's not too high up in the sky, but honestly fun for kids ages 5-15. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this. Every hotel/condo/resort should tell parents about this gem. My kids didn't want to leave!

The rock climbing wall here is a big hit with my two boys, 12 and 14. We discovered this gem on our…read moretrip to Montana 2-years ago. And this summer, when we stopped in Jackson on our trip to California, my boys demanded that we allow time for the rock climbing wall. So, after lunch, we did. It's more of a boulder replica than a rock wall but very significant with lots of options for climbing to the top of this 8-10 foot man-made 'boulder' that's approximately 40 feet by 10 feet. Numerous handholds. This is a serious challenge. I don't know much about rock climbing or bouldering and that will be evident in this description. Neither do my boys. All I know is that they love this feature of this park in Jackson, and I've never seen anything else like it anywhere in America.

On 06/16/2025, I hiked the MOST INTENSE hike. My friend and I started at 10 AM and didn't finish…read moreuntil 9 PM. We hiked from Taggart trailhead to Taggart Lake, then off to Bradley Lake. After those two hikes onto Delta Lake. We hiked a total of 15 miles at 9,000 ft of elevation. I frequently hike, but in no way have I ever trained to hike at any kind of elevation. I knew my limits, but boy were they pressed on this hike. On the trail going up, I saw elk and marmots around. Its better to hike with a group of two or more and someone you trust, don't be like me and hike with someone who can care less than you and constantly left me to solo hike on unfamiliar territory. The trail after Bradley Lake is a continuous incline, so take plenty of water and rest breaks. I had to take plenty of breaks and am a slow hiker. Whether you read it on Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or All Trails, the last 3 miles up is torturously difficult. It is constant rocky with huge boulders that you have to cross by crawling. Here at this point, your trekking poles are useless. In June, some of the trail was still covered with snow. Quite challenging for someone who isn't used to walking in snow; the snow was semi-hard, but soft in parts so I fell a couple of times. To get to the top after the boulders, there's a deep ascend upwards that crawling is the only option and you gotta be careful not to fall backwards. At this moment, I was 3 minutes in and wanted to give up! My friend had already left me behind, I was pissed off at her, and mad at myself for putting myself through this hike. Until, a family coming down gave me some serious encouragement to continue on. Shout out to that beautiful family! Y'all, a real one!! Whew!! I was exhausted once I crossed my final hill to see Delta Lake. It was indeed beautiful and is worth it! The water was crystal turquoise blue (naturally), it was hypothermia cold, but the snow capped mountain tops were a stunner to view. It was so picturesque and all I wanted was to rest. However, I didn't get to because two people were in my ear about, "can you take my picture?" at every single moment and angle. It was so annoying. My friend and I stayed about 15 minutes at the lake before we started our trek back. Now, that was problematic because we were racing to get back before nightfall and since we weren't smart enough to start at Delta Lake trailhead, the hike took longer, we wasted time a lot of time hiking, so by the time we were heading back it was 6pm in the evening. Luckily, it gets completely dark after 9pm. On the way back, it was a descend hike down the mountain, so our pace was slightly increased, but we had to be very careful because on the trail, we spotted a moose. He wouldn't move and was minding his own business. His partner was on the side, then ran when it saw our presence. Eventually, the moose scurried away in the forest. We continued to hike and was faced with a grizzly bear off the path, but was in close proximity. I was horrified and quickly grabbed my bear spray ready to shoot. My friend told me to just run across. I thought that was stupid of her to tell me to risk my life of being eaten so she can live free. Mercifully, the bear continued to eat grass and walked further into the forest. At that point, I was terrified of being with this so-called friend, out in bear country, and by 7:00 PM, we were STILL hiking. I started to panic and begged this chick (that I was with) to call park rangers. Her iPhone had died, so no access to maps, but thankfully my Android still had sufficient battery lasting through the end. She continued to say we didn't need to, but at last she did (after I begged her to) call 911 for rescue. We hiked an additional 4 miles. I was EXTREMELY tired!!! My legs were jello and I was out of breath, but couldn't stop. By that time, my mum called me since I never told her I was safe back at the hostel. A mother's instinct, she knew something was wrong. So she called the park rangers too and then they came, met up with us, and walked us then drove us to the Taggart Lake trailhead where we had parked. The following day, I was too tired to move or walk. I must add, this isn't a small kid friendly hike. I saw noone hiking with tiny kids. My advice to anyone looking to dare hike this trail: *Hike from the Delta Lake trailhead *Bring a trusted friend who actually cares about your wellness and well-being to wait on you and not mock you for hiking pace. *Start early *Train to hike at an elevation and don't cold turkey wing it especially if you're a Southeast Texan *Trekking poles are needed *Know your limits (coincides with the friend note) *Wear comfortable hiking shoes with supportive grip. *Have fun in a safe way

I would advise anyone over the age of 50/anyone not in excellent physical health to beware of this hike. More trail info can be found on the app All Trails (which is also good for mapping purposes!) There is an extremely steep Boulder scramble towards the end. Make sure you bring 2-3 liters of water for each hiker, and definitely plenty of food to keep you energized. We each had a peanut butter jelly sandwich, apples, granola bars, and beef jerky. The views from the top were incredible. The blue water of the lake, the proximity to the Grand Teton, the waterfall, it was all so impressive. Absolutely worth the 2 hours and 45 minutes of uphill battle :) took just under 2 hours to get down. We did come across a small bear towards the beginning of the trail, so make sure to keep bear spray handy and make lots of noise!

This is a great little trail, found right on the grounds of the Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton…read moreNational Park. It's 3.5 miles long with a little elevation gain of about 200 feet. The trail is mostly gravel and well maintained- you can easily hike it but it seems to be mainly used for horseback riding - lots of manure piles to navigate so be aware lol! Unfortunately the park is in a bit of a drought so the pond is pretty dry as of Memorial Day weekend 2023 - but there's still a little water in it. We heard lots of frogs singing and saw TONS of Swallows out hunting for bugs. You can see the tip of the Tetons in the distance as well as other mountains off to the north. You pass underneath the main highway at the beginning of the trail and after your round the first corner, it becomes very peaceful! The trail can be a bit muddy and is VERY buggy so I recommend bug spray as well as bear spray - you'll see bear warning signs everywhere and it's a good idea not to hike it alone. There are several other trails that shoot off from this one and take you to other lakes and other parts of the park. I'd definitely try them out if I had more time! To get to the trailhead from the lodge, walk away from the lodge toward the highway and you'll find it just past the horse corral - very easy to find, especially with the AllTrails map in the app. To hike it I think you'd need to park at the lodge which is fine, even if you're not a guest - they have a lot of general parking.

The LSR Preserve is near Phelps Lake and has a visitor center. I like driving to the Preserve on Moose-Wilson Road because there is all sorts of wildlife and natural features to be seen. You can also hike through this area. I parked and walked all the way to the visitor center while taking in the amazing views. The trail is surrounded by a sagebrush meadow. Lake Creek flows out of Phelps Lake and is a short walk from the visitor center. The visitor center ended up being closed when I arrived. It is in a wood building and offers ranger-led programs, trail information, weather, and information on Mr. Rockefeller's vision for the Preserve. The LSR Preserve is a beautiful area and worth checking out when open.

They forced us to pay for the Teton National Park and for the Yellowstone park separately for $70. If we wanted to go through Teton to get to Yellowstone National Park. It would be just ab additional $10 you get get an annual pass for all of the parks for the rest of year instead of having to pay $70 to drive through one to get to the other. I felt stuck and had to pay for Teton just to drive through it. There wasn't anything we wanted to see in Teton. We had no plans to visit Teton, but had to pay anyways. The pass is good for 7 days. What's the good of that? How irksome. One national park pass should cover all national parks in my honest opinion. If we wanted to enter only Yellowstone, we would have to go back through Idaho, that's a totally different state. Unreal. Quite a few sections of one way lanes due to road work and bridge work. Seemed like we got stopped more often going into the parks then leaving the parks. It's a big park. We only made it to about 1/4 or maybe even 1/4 of the length of the park. Lewis lake was the most beautiful part of the park for me.
