Description
Grand Teton National Park encompasses 480 square miles of the Teton Range and adjacent valley known as Jackson Hole. Humans have occupied the region for nearly 11,000 years. In the early 19th century, the region began to attract large numbers of fur trappers, which prompted efforts to preserve it as a national park. Grand Teton National Park was formally established in 1929.
The park is part of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, a nearly pristine ecosystem containing the same species that have existed since prehistoric times. Bear, elk, moose, and deer, along with 300 species of birds roam the park. The park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, camping, and fishing. It is one of the few places where Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout can be found.
Here, the final light of sunset shines above the Teton Range.
