Why you'll fall in love with Grand Teton National Park

Some tips for visiting Grand Teton National Park:

-There are some shuttles and plenty of roads through the park, but biking is a really effective way to get around. It allows you the freedom to take more rugged trails and really appreciate the views! -The park itself isn't huge, it's only 484 square miles (compared to Yellowstone's 3.5 thousand square miles), but the area around it is also worth exploring. The National Elk Refuge next door is a great way to spend a day, as are the National Forests, and, of course, Yellowstone. -Check out the ranger activities here. From tipi demonstrations to campfire story sessions, there's usually something going on at one of the ranger or visitor centers.

If you're looking for an iconic photo op in Jackson, head to George Washington Memorial Park to pose for a pic with the city's famed antler arches. They're made of elk antlers, since elk seem to be everywhere around here, and there are four of them at each corner of the park, and they're even bigger in real life.
