When is the best time to visit Grand Teton National Park?

I was planning my trip to Yellowstone when I realized that the Grand Tetons are right next to it. I figure I’ll visit both, but I’m not sure when. What’s the best time of the year to visit Grand Teton National Park?

When the
Wyoming
section of U.S. Highway 191 is open, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are only about 50 miles apart. However, the road is closed throughout much of the year. As a result, the best time to visit Grand Teton National Park is in September. During this time of year, the road is open, making the trip easy. Also, the Tetons receive a dusting of snow for a majestic snowcapped appearance, and you can see the beautiful fall foliage.
Some of the best things to do in Grand Teton National Park in September include:
  • Take a boat ride across Jenny Lake.
  • Do some leaf-peeping from Highway 191 or one of the many trails throughout the park.
  • Drive up to the top of Signal Mountain for breathtaking views of the mountains and Jackson Lake.
  • Visit Mormon Row Historic District.
Since driving is really the only way to see the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, consider adding
