If there is one word to summarize Grand Teton National Park - it would be pristine.

For my fellow nature-lovers out there, you will not regret visiting Grand Teton. If you visualize what paintings that depict nature scenery is like, it is Grand Teton: sweeping views of snow-capped mountains, placid lakes that glitter in the sun, and waterfalls emerging from thick bushes of coniferous trees.

My friends and I visited Grand Teton in May 2023 while simultaneously exploring Yellowstone National Park and hiked around Jenny Lake, one of the main lakes at Grand Teton. If hiking around Jenny Lake, make sure to also check out Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point while on the Jenny Lake trail.
