Getting to Grand Teton
Take U.S. 26-287 from Dubois, WY, to enter the park from the east at Moran Entrance Station. U.S. 26-89-191 arrives at Moose from the south, passing through the town of Jackson and skirting the National Elk Refuge on the way. Travelers coming from Yellowstone National Park's south entrance drive through the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway into Grand Teton's northern boundary. Snow closes this route at Flagg Ranch Resort from November through April. Call (307) 739-3614 or (307) 739-3300 for road conditions inside the park, or 1-888-WYOROAD (996-7623) for Wyoming road conditions.
Two other routes enter the park. On the north end, unpaved Grassy Lake Road (closed from November through May) from Ashton, ID, heads east and links with Rockefeller Parkway near Flagg Ranch Resort. The Moose-Wilson Road (closed November 1 to May 1) takes travelers northwest of Jackson to the Jackson Hole Ski Resort, with a partially paved spur that enters the park at the Granite Canyon Entrance Station and then connects to Moose Village. RVs and trailers are prohibited year-round on the spur to Moose.
