Grand Teton Day Hikes Trails Illustrated National Geographic

The Tetons evoke a sense of inspiration and aspiration in all who visit. Established in 1929, Grand Teton National Park now encompasses and protects 310,000 acres (485 square miles) for everyone to enjoy. For centuries Native Americans, including the Crow, Nez Perce, Shoshone, and Gros Ventre frequented the Teton region. In the early 1800's, many legendary mountain men, including John Colter, Jim Bridger, David Jackson and Jedediah Smith, passed beneath these lofty spires. Later came Thomas Moran, Teddy Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, and Ansel Adams.
