Grand Teton National Park, the U.S.

Grand Teton National Park is home to Wyoming's spectacular Teton Mountains, which rise sharply above Jackson Hole Valley with snow-capped peaks. The photo opportunities are abundant, from the dazzling Jenny and Jackson lakes to the 13,770-foot Grand Teton, which reflects the mountains in its depths. But only mountaineers and photographers should visit the park. In the height of summer, the region's trails beckon hikers of all levels and provide treasures like undiscovered waterfalls and spectacular Tetons views. The Snake River, meanwhile, draws kayakers, rafters, and people who just like to float. History buffs who are interested in this section of the Western Frontier's past in the 19th century are drawn to historic areas like Menors Ferry and Mormon Row.

The same kind of plants and animals that have lived since the beginning of time can still be found at Grand Teton National Park, which has an almost pristine ecosystem. The park is home to more than 1,000 kinds of vascular plants, dozens of animal species, 300 bird species, more than 12 fish species, and a few species of reptiles and amphibians. Some native fish species and the increasingly endangered whitebark pine have received increased protection due to a variety of environmental changes, some of which are human-induced. Visitors may also see the park turn golden in the autumn. Travelers can drive the few miles north to Yellowstone if they want to visit another national park on the same trip.
