Highlights
  • Teton Village - As you drive, you’ll pass Teton Village, home to some of the best (and most intense) skiing anywhere in the States.

  • Oxbow Bend - Also along the detour is Oxbow Bend, a picturesque spot where Snake River makes a U-turn.
  • Snake River Overlook - Farther along, you’ll reach Snake River Overlook, where famous photographer Ansel Adams captured one of the most well-known photos ever taken in the Tetons.
  • Teton Point Turnout - Another viewpoint waits just ahead at Teton Point Turnout, offering glimpses of some seriously strange geology.
  • Glacier View Turnout - Next, you’ll arrive at Glacier View Turnout, boasting views of not one, not two, but three huge glaciers!

Grand Teton 2023 - Driving tour with history was great. Only issue occurred when cell service wasn’t available. The program seemed to get confused but we were able to get back on track with the map. Wish the map on the phone would correspond with the dashboard display. Didn’t correspond consistently

Grand Teton audio tour - I had trouble getting my password and finally left a message. Immediately they sent me what I needed with the link to download the tour, after that it was smooth sailing. We started our tour in Jackson and we thoroughly enjoyed the information given. It would start and stop when needed. I could go back and listen again if I missed something. I highly recommend the audio tour.

Grand Teton Audio Tour - We enjoyed the tour. The technology worked great. And the dialogue was very interesting. We learned about historical moments, geographical, tidbits, and current events. Only suggestion I have would be to notify the customer. They should buy their park pass online before the tour. Then you can get through the park entrance quicker. And if there are road closures, somehow have the technology updated to work around that. We had to turn around and added an hour to our tour.

Good but not great - Content was good but the directions and the app was not intuitive enough. Maybe it works better on iOS but on my honor android the experience wasn't great.
