Teton National Park
Spectacular, rugged, beautiful all describe the Teton Mountains of Western
Wyoming. These great mountains have become icons of American mountains. Featured
in motion pictures and popular among mountain climbers around the world, Grand
Teton Peak dominates the sky line between the town of Jackson Hole and the
Yellowstone National Park.
Together, Grand Teton and Yellowstone provide a continuous wild ecosystem.
This area provides critical habitat for Wolves, Elk, and other wild ranging
mammals.
The Snake River originates on the eastern slopes of the Teton Range creating
a stunningly beautiful tree lined meander with the Teton's rising above. This
clear stream becomes a large river that flows south and west through southern
Idaho to join the Columbia River.
With Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Grand Teton, visitors can quite
easily enjoy both areas on the same trip. The Yellowstone River appears in the
National Parks Screen Saver.
