THE INFO: Whether you have lived in Rexburg your whole life or this is your first week, you have heard about the Tetons. They are the majestic mountain rage that play as the backyard for BYU-Idaho. While the view of these mountains is great on the Idaho side, it can really be a life changing moment seeing them from the Wyoming side and the drive is probably the most scenic one of your life, well worth it. This trip to the Grand Teton National Park was actually a mistake after a part of Yellowstone was closed and we were forced to drive down through the park. I happily obliged to get a Wyoming view of our beloved mountains and it was one of the best choices I could have made. 

WHAT TO DO: My favorite thing to do in the area is just snap some out of the world photos and this location works great for engagements and portraits. However if you really want the best experience I suggest bringing lots of friends for a hike down towards the snake river. Memorial weekend is the perfect time and weather to really get out and explore this region. The snow will all be melted and its the ultimate spring time experiences. In the summertime you have the option to do several different activities that will really bring you closer to the Tetons. However like I have mentioned and reminded in my other posts, please be prepared to see bears and other wild animals. The valley is covered in them and you need to be cautious  so always hike with 3 or more people along with bring bear spray and know how to use it effectively. 

THE ADDRESS: Grand Teton National Park, WY
