Caption: Glorious Grand Tetons If I had to choose one National Park, this would be it.
Caption: In college, I spent two summers working in Yellowstone National Park. One semester put me within an hour of Glacier National Park, which I visited every chance I got. For a period I lived near Rocky Mountain National Park. And while I love these and many other parks, I've always been in awe of Grand Teton National Park. It's range of terrain is wide. Everything from wonderful lakes to towering peaks and beautiful glades. It also is dramatic beyond belief and will challenge you like no other.
