Summer is just around the corner, and Grand Teton National Park is gearing up for another season of breathtaking adventures! Whether you’re planning to hike scenic trails, paddle across serene lakes, or simply soak in the majestic mountain views, it’s essential to know when the park’s facilities and services will be available.
While the park itself is open year-round, many of its amenities operate seasonally. For instance, the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center opens its doors on May 1 and remains accessible through October 31. Similarly, the Jenny Lake Visitor Center welcomes visitors from May 14 to September 24, offering insights into the park’s rich history and natural wonders.
Campgrounds also have specific opening dates. The Gros Ventre Campground begins welcoming campers on April 26, while the Jenny Lake Campground opens later in the season on July 1. If you’re interested in boating, the Jenny Lake Boating shuttle and cruises commence operations on May 15, contingent on ice conditions.
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit, it’s advisable to check the specific opening and closing dates of the facilities you plan to use. For a comprehensive list and the most up-to-date information, visit the official Grand Teton National Park Operating Hours & Seasons page:
