here’s what to know about road tripping through Jackson Hole and the national parks

First established as a national park in 1929, Grand Teton National Park consisted of only 96,000 acres. During a trip in the 1920’s, John D. Rockefeller Jr. began purchasing land surrounding the Tetons as a way to protect it. He handed over his newly purchased 221,000 acres to the federal government with the agreement that they protect it. Present day Grand Teton National Park offers over 200 miles of hiking trails, seven moraine lakes and over 100 alpine lakes.

Yellowstone was the world’s first national park, created in 1872 — 18 years before Wyoming became a state. Yellowstone National Park is home to approximately 50% of the world’s hydrothermal features; among these are the largest and most varied on earth.

Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, and fish can be found in the Jackson Hole/Yellowstone area. Most notable are big game such as elk, moose, bison, deer, antelope, mountain lion, grizzly and black bears, gray wolf and coyote, rare birds such as the bald eagle, trumpeter swan, blue heron, osprey, and native game fish such as the Snake River cutthroat trout.

Grand Teton National Park: Moose-Wilson Road and Hiking Access

Grand Teton National Park will continue improvements along the southern portion of the Moose-Wilson Road this summer. Visit go.nps.gov/moosewilson to learn more. From the Granite Canyon entrance to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve, the road will only be open weekends May 26 to June 30. The entire road will be open starting July 1, with possible 20-minute construction delays. Granite Canyon Trailhead will be closed to all access during construction, but Jackson Hole Mountain Resort provides access to several moderate-strenuous trails within the park. Access to trails originates from the Rendezvous Mountain Summit and Valley Trail Access. Visit go.nps.gov/hiketetonvillage to learn more.

Teton Village to Jackson Road Construction

The Wyoming Department of Transportation is currently replacing the bridge over the Snake River on Highway 22 and reconstructing the intersection of Highways 22 and 390 near Stilson Ranch. More information about the project is available at dot.state.wy.us/snakeriver. Crews will do their best to accommodate the flow of traffic, but those traveling through the area are advised to watch for flaggers. Guests and visitors to Teton Village might choose an alternative travel mode, such as e-bikes, to avoid potential traffic delays, or consider traveling through this corridor outside of peak commute hours.
