Taggart Parking was BUSY on this fine winter day! - 2/17/24
Two solid and lengthy storm cycles during the month of February have left the Teton Range with a healthier snowpack than we had a month ago. Snake River Basin SWE % increased from about 73% to 89% during the past month. Avalanche danger remains considerable today as the range adjusts to this latest loading event. Please stay vigilant and stay up to date on the latest avalanche forecast and snowpack information before you head out into the hills to enjoy the fresh snow.
Please help us protect our bighorn sheep population by abiding by winter wildlife closures and voluntarily avoiding critical habitat zones. Click here for the latest closure map.
Backcountry permits are required year-round for any overnight travel inside Grand Teton National Park and are available and issued by phone during this time. See November 1, 2023 post for details.
All Park Visitor Centers and Campgrounds are closed for the winter season. Camping is strictly prohibited in parking areas and pullouts. Primitive dry camping with no available services is allowed for a small fee in the Colter Bay parking lot near the Colter Bay Visitor Center.
