The snowcapped, snaggle-toothed Grand Tetons are America's quintessential mountain range, rearing up with cartoonish exaggeration out of the sagebrush-covered flats of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Topped by 13,770-foot Grand Teton, these mountains are a magnet for the world's top alpinists - peak baggers, big-wall climbers, and backcountry and free skiers. All of them find the Tetons' extreme terrain an endless canvas on which to invent evermore hair-raising ways to gain and lose elevation.

For the rest of us, the peaks are mostly a backdrop of unreal, pinch-me-now scenic beauty. Try cycling or driving through Jackson Hole, one of the premier stages for the world-famous wildlife viewing of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem; you may spot some of the buffalo, moose, pronghorn, and elk that roam here. Or you can float the Snake River, a trip through prostratingly beauty country.

Nearly 3 million people visit Grand Teton National Park each year. Whether you go to rope up the granite or to camp the shores of Jenny Lake, we're pretty sure your visit here will yield more than a peek or two at the sublime.
