Best Times to Visit Grand Teton National Park

Beginning in October, winter blows through the park, shutting down most of its facilities and roads. Still, winter is a prime time for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

October to Early-May |
In the wintertime, the weather is bitter with temperatures that regularly drop into the single digits. The snow falls heavy and accumulates quickly, which is one of the main reasons why many of the park's facilities, roads and accommodations shutter for the season. Still, it's the best time for cross-country skiers and snowershoers who want to make tracks across the remote winter wonderland. Key Events:
