Grand Teton National Park also known as the Mountains of the Imagination, is in the northwest corner of Wyoming in Teton County. And this park offers mountain climbers, hikers and wildlife enthusiasts’ opportunities to experience nature at its most dramatic. Grand Teton has a lot to offer, whatever your interests. It is famous for spectacular mountain scenery and wildlife. Park boundaries include approximately 310,000 acres (485 square miles). And here are some of the iconic spots that I did enjoy in Grand Teton National Park:
