Looking to check out a national park? Grand Teton National Park has a lot of beautiful areas. Beware of a fee to enter the park unless you go on free national park day. I would suggest to stop by Jenny’s Lake as it may be one of the prettier destinations in the park. The picture of the mountains right on the lake with the sun shining through is the destination. I would plan at least a whole day because there is a ton to do! For different ideas of what to do, ask the park ranger when entering and get a map for touring the area.

This unique place was formed by volcanic activity and thought to look like the moon would on the surface. There are trails to hike and information to learn about the unique area. On a hot day, it is a good idea to make your way down in the cave areas to cool off. There are interesting formations and areas to explore. If you’re into learning about geology and rock formations, this is an excellent spot for you.

The easiest way to find your way here is to type “Sunset Cone” into Google Maps. The destination ends right on highway 93, and if you continue a little bit further down the road, you will see the visitors center on the left. Check the visitors center out and decide exactly what you want to do.
