Stunning!
We loved our time in GTNP! Stunning views everywhere you look. We saw tons of wildlife - moose, elk, pronghorn, bison, fox, beaver and a grizzly. Our 6yr old loved the least chipmunks - curious and spunky little things! We tackled hikes to Hidden Falls/Inspiration Point, Taggert Lake and Phelps Lake. String Lake was a great location to do a little splashing (but very cold!). We're from the east coast and I highly recommend not adjusting to the local time and getting an early start (it helped a lot with the crowds). While some trailhead parking lots were full and overflowing, there were still plenty of opportunities to escape people.

Beautiful Park
Since we came directly from Yellowstone, we were pleasantly surprised when we did not have to go through the visitor entrance for Grand Teton. To see some of the recommended spots in the park, such as Moose Wilson road, you actually have to leave the park and if you want to come back in, you have to go back through an entrance. Luckily, traffic was not backed up for miles like other parks, so it was not too bad when reentering. The Jenny Lake visitor center has traffic parked a half mile down the road, so we opted out of visiting the Jenny Lake area. We did, however, drive down the Jenny Lake scenic route which gave pretty views. The other recommended spots that we also enjoyed was the Mormon Row Historic District which has a picturesque barn that has a great photo op of a barn with the Teton mountains in the background which is a popular spot for sunrise. There is also a chapel with the Teton mountains in the background called the Chapel of the Transfiguration. Perhaps it was too late in the day, but we saw one bison in the distance and a squirrel (or mouse) eating food from the ground next to our car as the only two animals. Compared to Yellowstone, this park is not as crowded, but in my opinion, it offers just as good of views and should not be skipped.
