The Magic of Grand Teton National Park, a landscape of extraordinary bounty and beauty
When you gaze up at the Tetons, you’ll feel awe-struck. There’s no place like Grand Teton National Park, with its spectacular scenery and wildlife woven together by the Snake River. The incomparable facilities in the park assure a memorable Wyoming experience.
In 2003, the lodge was listed as a National Historic Landmark. Designed by architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood and completed in 1955, the lodge is considered a prime example of the International Style which was commonly seen in structures built on U.S. Government parklands in the mid-20th century. The lodge combines elements of the more rustic structures of the earlier decades of the 20th century with a more modern design elements that became standard for the next couple of decades.
Jackson Lake Lodge is the largest of all the eco-friendly lodging resorts in Grand Teton National Park. It hosts hundreds of rooms and cottages that fill up quickly in the summer. The lobby, with 60-foot panoramic windows framing the Teton Range and Jackson Lake, is a view vacation in itself.
