Grand Teton National Park
Located in northwestern Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park protects spectacular mountain scenery and a diverse collection of wildlife. The central feature of the park the Teton Range is a 40-mile-long mountain front rising from the valley floor some 6,000 feet.
The towering Tetons were formed from earthquakes that occurred over the past 13 million years along a fault line. The jagged range includes its signature peak Grand Teton, 13,770 feet (4,198 m) and at least twelve pinnacles over 12,000 feet (3,658 m). Seven morainal lakes adorn the base of the range, and more than 100 alpine lakes dot the backcountry.
Elk, moose, mule deer, bison and pronghorn, are commonly found in the park. Black bears roam the forests and canyons, while grizzlies range throughout more remote portions of the park. More than 300 species of birds can be observed, including bald eagles, peregrine falcons and trumpeter swans.
The National Park Foundation encourages and promotes local fundraising support at individual national park sites. Grand Teton National Park Foundation is a nonprofit partner of the National Park Service whose mission is to fund projects that preserve and enhance Grand Teton National Park’s cultural, historic and natural resources and to help others learn about and protect what is special in the park.
