Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
Overview
The Grand Teton Country is considered among the world's most scenic by many people. It is dominated by the Teton Mountains which rise abruptly and dramatically from an area of prairie and rolling hills. The jaggedness of the mountains and their frequent snow cover enhances the beauty of the scene. Photo, top: The Teton Range from the Snake River Overlook, a vista made famous by Ansel Adams. At left, the Tetons from the famous view point at Oxbow Bend on the Snake River. The valley below the Tetons known as Jackson Hole is also a place of compelling beauty. The park offers recreational opportunities such as camping, fishing, dude ranches, and more. The area offers winter recreation as well ranging from skiing to snowmobiling. The valley encompasses lakes and rivers, hilly wooded areas, and rolling prairie, affording many spectacular views of the mountains.
