Welcome
to our west, where the past and present merge to
make our place in paradise. Our past is in the
history of dinosaurs, Lewis & Clark and the cowboys
that traveled by horseback across our majestic
landscapes. The present takes you by modern travel
via bike, raft, skis, snowmobile, or automobile, to
name a few. They merge when you explore
Yellowstone’s wonders, amble through our communities
or museums, or join festivals celebrating our past.
Our ‘West’ combines old-fashioned western
hospitality with natural wonders and world-class
charm. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure
such as trout fishing, backpacking and hiking or in
town sight seeing we’ve got it all. Experience our
West and make yourself home in Yellowstone Country.
Located
in northwestern Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park
protects stunning mountain scenery and a diverse
array of wildlife. The central feature of the park
is the Teton Range — an active, fault-block,
40-mile-long mountain front. The range includes
eight peaks over 12,000 feet (3,658 m), including
the Grand Teton at 13,770 feet (4,198 m). Seven
morainal lakes run along the base of the range, and
more than 100 alpine lakes can be found in the
backcountry.
Elk, moose, pronghorn, mule deer, and bison are
commonly seen in the park. Black bears are common in
forested areas, while grizzlies are occasionally
observed in the northern part of the park. More than
300 species of birds can be observed, including bald
eagles and peregrine falcons.
Whether it's river rafting or a breathtaking ride on a snowmobile,
Glacier Country
offers
outdoor adventures all year round. The shelter of
the Rocky Mountains generally brings mild spring
temperatures, but summer is the most popular time to
visit glacier country for good reason. Summer days
stretch up to 16 hours, giving you ample time to
sample a dazzling array of outdoor activities. Make
the most of stunning wilderness vistas, the clear
lakes and streams. Hunt or fish to your heart's
desire. Play golf, wander in the wilderness or hike
in the national forests.
Visit the more than 1,000,000 acres of forest,
alpine lakes and meadows of Glacier National Park –
a hiker's paradise that's home to more than 70 kinds
of mammals and 260 species of birds. Both Glacier
and Waterton Lakes National Park across the border
in Canada are Biosphere Reserves that have been
designated as designated World Heritage Sites.
It's a legacy that's yours to enjoy!
