GORP guide to the park
Grand Teton is an active park; it's hard to sit still. Maybe it's all that seismic activity or the crisp mountain air. Lucky for your restless spirit, the park has more than 200 miles of hiking trails ranging from level and easy on the valley floor to steep and arduous into the mountains. If churning rivers are your bag, take on rafting the Snake River. Watch for moose along the banks and bald eagles soaring above. In fact, wherever you go in Grand Teton, you'll stand a good chance to see wildlife.

Nearly 2.5 million acres of some of the most raw and rugged country in the Lower 48, the Shoshone National Forest, established in 1891, is the oldest of our national forests. And it remains a cornerstone of all that we value in the Rocky Mountain wilds—the Native cultures of its past, the huge swaths of roadless, untrammeled wildlife habitat of its present, and the classic outdoor experiences we hope it holds in its future.

GORP guide to the park
Yellowstone is the oldest park in the U.S. park system and is its flagship. Each year, it draws three million visitors who come to experience the park's restless geology; to see grizzlies, gray wolves, and herds of buffalo; and to fish legendary trout streams like the Madison and the Yellowstone River. Most of all, they come to reconnect in some way with a sense of primordial America, the larger-than-life landscape that existed before railroads, highways, telephones, and a host of other technologies began to cut everything down to size.
