 On the road in Grand Teton
National Park by toonsarah
We found some wonderful views at several of these stopping points. Our favourites were probably Willow Flats and Oxbow Bend.

 Mount Moran & the Snake
River by toonsarah
Consequently we really only had time for the boat across Jenny Lake and walk to Hidden Falls, plus a number of view points. No time for boating or to enjoy Jackson Lake, no time for a float trip on the Snake River, and no time for the drive up Signal Mountain - all of which I'd have loved to do. The good news is that this gives us a great excuse to go back again, but whether we ever will I don’t know.
I could have stared at those mountains for ages – and did! Perhaps that’s another reason why we didn’t fit as much into our day as I’d have liked?

 Entrance into Grand Teton by kazander

UPDATE 1/2007
When I was there we purchased a now discontinued National Parks Pass,( Which will still be honored for 1 year from the date we received it) The NPS have since introduced a new system. The "America the Beautiful" Passes. These will replace the traditional pass, the Golden Eagle, Golden Age and Golden Access passes. The new standard pass is $80, which is $30 more expensive then the pass we bought but does allow access into the areas that were only formerly available with the Golden Eagle pass (which at $15 more that the regular pass was still $15 cheaper than this new one) Ah but time marches on and prices keep going up, what can you do? It's still more than worth it to support the parks. You can of course still buy a weekly pass to each park, which is $15 per vehicle, $7 if you are on foot or bike.
Check out the NPS website for more details on ALL passes.
For all National Parks Passes

 Moose Visitor Center by Shihar
Entrance fee is $20 per car per week good at both Yellowstone and Grand Teton. However, we bought the yearly NP for $50 and it is good for admission at all National Parks.

 bull moose along Pacific Creek by mrclay2000
In Grand Teton, the willows are the place where you'll see the largest member of the deer family. As you drive in from Moran, you'll notice hordes of willow along the Snake River, which continues on its course southward near Moose. By that time the willows thin out, but the swampy areas of the river still attract their share of antlers.
The three best bets for moose are (in no particular order): the willow overlooks along the Snake River (central and eastern areas of the park), the moose habitats and shallows near the Moose (south) entrance, and the willow thickets along Pacific Creek near the Moran (east) entrance.
Most wildlife enthusiasts prefer bulls because of the majestic antlers. The novelty of cows and calves wears out after a few minutes, but antlered giants easily merit hours of attention. Leave a Comment

Though finding a moose is a matter of chance, you'll take a cow when a bull is not available. Always watch for any dark blip in a patch of green willows -- chances are it's the animal you're looking for. Leave a Comment
