John D Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway

82 gorgeous miles of parkway honoring John Rockefeller.

We drove the Ashton-Flagg Ranch Road off of the Headwater at Flagg Ranch road. This road is off of the John Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway. We were in hopes of getting off the beaten path we just may spot a bear, moose, elk or what ever wild critter we could come across. Well we didn't spot any except for a couple of deer. Oh well it was a fun beautiful drive. I would recommend having a SUV for this road as it could be rough in a couple of spots. It gave us a good taste of what the area is like off the grid. Hope you are more successful in your animal search than we were.

Chapel of the Transfiguration

This small church was built in 1925 and has a great view of the Tetons.

Reviewed By froglag - Spokane, United States

This is such a inspirational place to just stop and enjoy the surroundings and reflect on the beauty surrounding this Chapel. I would love some day to come back and attend a service here. Definitely a place of awe. Presently with Covid the chapel is closed but was still able to enjoy the chapel. The chapel frames a view of the Cathedral Group of peaks in a large window behind the altar. Very fitting location.

The Moose Wilson Road is hard to find and very narrow. Well worth the effort though as we saw a bear cub eating / playing all three times we drove on it this week. Beautiful vistas.

Mormon Row Historic District

Reviewed By jrobba - Charlotte, United States

We came to the Mormon Row to get the iconic views of Grand Teton, but honestly it was a great area for our kids who had been locked up in the car for the better part of the day driving around the park. The kids very much enjoyed getting to play in some of the crystal clear streams running through the area, as well as chasing the prairie dogs around the area, provided lots of fun for the little ones. Definitely recommend stopping by for the iconic view, but if you have little kids, this is a great opportunity for them to stretch their legs and be a kid.

Chapel of the Sacred Heart

Reviewed By froglag - Spokane, United States

Disadvantage of Covid this beautiful Chapel was closed so we were just able to peek into the windows. Little did we know until peeking in is that there was a beautiful stain glass of a Sacred Heart in the middle of the glass. Gorgeous, wish we could have gone in or better yet to attend a service. Maybe next adventure to the Grand Tetons to see this Grand Chapel.

Easy stop along the drive around the park. This is a classic view with the river and the Tetons in the distance. There are some placards with information and some wildlife to see.

Glacier View Turnout

Reviewed By Rura_Penthe924 - Idaho Falls, United States

The best view of the Tetons in the area as it has a perfect angle of the mountain range. Lots of parking. There is a small overlook area at the end of a paved walkway with a rock that people like to take photos at. If you don’t want a picture right there you can walk to either side of that to get a picture perfect view.

Blacktail Ponds Overlook

Reviewed By DebraH1711

This is a must stop! We came across from seeing the Mormon Row Barns and it was fabulous! Was almost rear-ended by an idiot driver as we were stopped waiting to turn so keep your eyes peeled in front and behind you...I had to move forward to avoid being hit. Just outstanding views and colors! Saw 4 cow elk, 1 bull elk, 1 cow and calf moose, a single cow moose, a bull moose, and different species of birds. There was a group of about 15 photographers led by a professional photographer and then at least another 15-20, including myself, who were taking photos. The Jackson Tetons area is far superior to Yellowstone for scenery hands down! I would highly recommend at least a 2-day stay in the area.
