Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. Approximately 310,000 acres the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. The park is only 10 miles south of Yellowstone National Park; the two parks are connected by the National Park Service managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. These three protected areas, in conjunction with surrounding National Forests, constitute the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which at almost 18,000,000 acres, is one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world. This park offers some of the most incredible photography opportunities as the abundant wildlife are found in nearly every area. Moose, elk, grizzly bear, black bear, pronghorn, wolves and coyote, fox and beaver, just to name a few, are seen frequently throughout the various parts of Grand Teton. Fiery sunsets and golden sunrises only add to the beauty and diversity of this park.

Grand Teton National Park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found there. More than 1,000 species of vascular plants, dozens of species of mammals,and nearly 300 species of birds. Due to various changes in the ecosystem, some of them human-induced, efforts have been made to provide enhanced protection to some species of native fish and the increasingly threatened whitebark pine. Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, fishing and other forms of recreation.
