Established on February 26, 1929 and named after the highest peak in the Teton Range, Grand Teton National Park rises straight from the Jackson Hole valley floor offering a virtually unobstructed view of the entire range.
Grand Teton is 13,770 feet tall. Eight other peaks rise over 12,000 feet above sea level. Seven of these peaks between Avalanche and Cascade Canyons make up the Cathedral Group.
Well over 350 species of animals live in the park. These include Bald Eagles, Moose, Bison, Grizzly Bears, Mountain Lions, Wolves and Coyotes.
Grand Teton National Park is also a southern gateway to Yellowstone National Park.
