Grand Teton National Park

April

What is the name of this peak-studded national park?

Located in northwestern Wyoming, this park was established twice: in 1929, to protect its mountain peaks and the lakes surrounding the bases of the mountains; and again in 1950, to protect the valley floors and the Jackson Hole National Monument. It covers approximately 310,000 acres, including more than 200 miles of hiking trails.

Did you know:

-- It is located just 10 miles south of Yellowstone.

-- Sixty-one species of mammals and more than 300 species of birds have been recorded in the park.

-- It is the only national park to allow hunting, but only of elk.
