Overview
The 42 mile scenic drive loop through Grand Teton National Park gives travelers intimate views of the Tetons and the chance to spot abundant and diverse wildlife in the surrounding wilderness.
Driving Directions
There are three entry points for the Teton Park Scenic Drive Loop. From Jackson, head north on Highway 26-89-191 and enter at Moose Junction. Travelers coming from Yellowstone will follow the Rockefeller, Jr. Parkway and enter the park at the Jackson Lake Junction. For those coming from Dubois, WY (east), drive over Togwotee Pass and enter the park at Moran Junction.
The best way to enjoy the Grand Teton Park Road is to turn it into a loop. From Moose, drive up the inner park road to Jackson Lake Junction and follow the outer park road through Moran Junction back down to Moose.
Time/Distance
The loop is 42 miles long, and depending on how many points of interest you chose to explore, plan for at least a one to two hour drive.
Highlights
Be sure to grab a map at the park entrance. Here are some of our favorite stops (starting at Moose).

- Menors Ferry: Ride the Menor's Ferry replica with a park ranger (only 15 minutes).
