Grand Teton National Park — National Park in WY.

By Nicholas Major · Last updated

Grand Teton National Park is a U.S. National Park Service unit in WY (NPS unit code GRTE), where the Teton Range rises directly from the Jackson Hole valley floor with no foothills and the US-89/191/26 through-corridor connects the park to Yellowstone in summer. The park recorded 3,800,648 recreation visits in 2025 and runs a 5-year mean of 3,507,486 annual visits. The busiest month is July and the quietest is December — winter visits run at roughly 7% of July's peak because the inner Teton Park Road closes to cars from November through late April. This page is the navigation anchor for Grand Teton coverage on this site: the best-time-to-visit pillar covers month-by-month crowd, weather, and access including bear-safety planning and the elk-rut window; the visitation page covers the long-run annual chart through the 2021 record and the 2022 Yellowstone-flood spillover dip.
