Winter : 6 Days
In November, we spent 6 days in Grand Teton National Park- a winter wonderland.

Things to know
Most park roads are closed in the winter. Be prepared to stay at a near by town or snuggle up for some cold winter camping.
Road Closures 🚧
The only road open to vehicles is the Teton Park Road up to Taggart Trailhead parking lot via Moose Entrance.
Navigating the Roads
As we discovered ourselves, the roads are slick and chain are a definite must have. Higher the car the better. Remember, no campsite is worth getting yourself stuck in a sticky situation.
