Grand Tetons Fall of 2025

Grand Tetons

The final leg of our trip took us to the stunning Grand Tetons. After an 8-hour drive from Glacier, we only had one full day to explore — but we couldn’t have timed it better. The fall colors, just shy of their peak, were beautiful.

Lodging

We stayed at Teton Valley Resort, about 40 minutes from Jackson Hole and 50 minutes from the park — and it was hands-down our favorite stay of the trip (10/10). The resort offers a mix of cabins (from rustic to full amenities) and RV sites, plus a pool, jacuzzi, pickleball court, mess hall, and bar. A daily continental breakfast is included. 🔗 tetonvalleyresort.com

Top Tips

• Arrive early for sunrise at Schwabacher Landing — this is a very popular spot.

• This was the busiest park we visited (likely due to fall color), so go early to find parking at visitor centers and overlooks.

• Check out  Mormon Row and the Elk Preserve, both just outside the park.

• Stop by Jackson Lake Lodge for incredible views and a quick bite.

• Leave time to explore Jackson Hole — a charming, must-visit town.
