Grand
Teton National Park
Welcome
to Grand Teton National Park, an area of impressive scenery and abundant
wildlife. The park consists of more than
300,000
acres, including the heart of this Teton Range and most of the valley called
Jackson Hole. Grand Teton lies within the
Greater
Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest nearly intact natural area remaining in
the contiguous United States. Grand Teton and
Yellowstone
National Parks, seven national forests, and two national wildlife refuges
contain millions of acres. Adjoining federal,
state,
and private lands increase the size of this ecosystem, which is essential to
free-roaming wildlife.
In
1929 Horace M. Albright, Director National Park Service, dedicated Grand
Teton National Park.
