Grand Teton ◆ Wyoming
Grand Teton, the perfect skyline.
The most photogenic skyline in any national park — granite peaks rising 7,000 feet straight out of a flat valley, with no foothills in the way.
Field guide ◆ Grand Teton
Plan the trip.
Grand Teton sits directly south of Yellowstone, sharing the same wildlife corridor but with one of the most iconic mountain skylines in North America: a sheer granite range rising over 7,000 feet from the floor of Jackson Hole, with no foothills to soften the silhouette.
For a 3-day plan: Day 1, drive Teton Park Road and stop at Snake River Overlook (the Ansel Adams shot). Day 2, hike the Cascade Canyon-Lake Solitude route from Jenny Lake — take the boat across to skip the first 2 miles. Day 3, Mormon Row at sunrise (bison + Tetons in the same frame), then the Schwabacher's Landing reflections.
Combine with Yellowstone — they share an entrance, and most park visitors do a 5-7 day combined trip. Late June for wildflowers, September for elk rut and aspen color.
