Grand Teton National Park: The Best Landscape in Wyoming
The Grand Tetons are revered as "Heaven" by both photographers and sightseers alike! Spanning over 310,000 acres, Grand Teton National Park is comprised of mountain meadows, alpine lakes and majestic peaks of the Grand Teton Range.
This popular national park is located just north of Jackson, Wyoming, and is brimming with dramatic scenery showcasing unique combinations of craggy peaks and flat plains.
The Teton Range holds some of the oldest rock formations in North America. Worth noting is a 2.7 billion year old metamorphic rock known as Gneiss, which makes up most of the range. Gneiss formed when several minerals separated light and dark layers, often referred to as Zebra Rock. The peaks of the Grand Teton Range each have unique names and visual distinctions, making them an interesting and exquisite subject of many landscape photography images. The endless compositions and abundance of beauty make Grand Teton National Park a favorite amongst landscape photographers. The stunning images created in this one of a kind national park are found in fine art galleries around the world.

Famous Bears of the Grand Tetons
While Yellowstone National Park is historically a favorite location for wildlife viewing and photography, Grand Teton National Park is home to a thriving wildlife population which includes grizzly bears, bald eagles, bison, deer, and wolves.
Grand Teton's wildlife claim to fame is a grizzly known as "Bear 399," who rose to internet fame in 2020 after giving birth to four cubs. Grizzly Bear 399's cubs are now grown, and one, dubbed "Bear 610" by the Interagency Grizzly Study Team, has since given birth to two cubs. Grizzly Bear #399 is known to be one of the oldest grizzly bears in the wild and is often spotted near Oxbow Bend. Tom Manglesen's book, Grizzlies of Pilgrim Creek includes images of Grizzly #399 and her cubs.
