Grand Teton National Park is one of the most spectacular, awe-inspiring places I've ever been to. Occupying a majority of the Jackson Hole valley, the park is home to overwhelming, massive mountains, pristine lakes and rivers, and abundant, teeming wildlife. The Teton Range - with peaks rising as much as 7,000 feet off the valley floor - is the centerpiece of the park. Imagine coming up the road and around a hill and having the view above burst into view...unannounced. That is awesome ... a "WOW" moment so powerful that the National Park service built a pull-over spot at the top of the bend so people wouldn't just slam on the brakes, stop in the middle of the road and stare. The Tetons. Magic mountains. I loved being there.
