Explore Grand Teton National Park

Sights to See in Grand Teton NP

There are turnouts and scenic overlooks throughout the park which offer a good view of Grand Teton's many mountains. Here are just a few highlights:

Oxbow Bend

About a mile east of Jackson Lake Junction. Besides the view of Mt. Moran, many types of birds can be seen here.

Cathedral Group

This turnout offers a great view of the three highest peaks in the Teton range: Teewinot, the Grand Teton and Mt. Owen.

Teton Glacier

About 4 miles north of Moose Junction on Teton Park Road, this turnout highlights the largest glacier in the park.

Snake River Overlook

This overlook is along U.S. 26/89/191. Ansel Adams took a famous photograph of the Tetons from this site.

Schwabacher's Landing

This dirt road, off U.S. 26/89/191, forks into two branches, one labeled for cars, the other for boats. Both branches have parking, and they lead to nice views of the Tetons and their reflections in the Snake River.

Signal Mountain

Turn off the park road south of Jackson Lake Junction. A fairly narrow paved spur road climbs to a parking area, then a very short walk to the summit gives an excellent 360 degree view of Jackson Hole.
