Grand Teton National Park fall foliage
Grand Teton National Park covers about 310,000 acres in northwestern Wyoming, where the Teton Range rises abruptly from the valley of Jackson Hole to 13,775 feet at the Grand Teton. The fall color here comes from aspen, cottonwood, and willow, which turn gold along the Snake River and at the foot of the mountains, typically in the last days of September and the first days of October.

Along Mormon Row, old barns stand in the sagebrush flats with the Tetons beyond, and at Jenny Lake, the trail along the shore leads through the trees at the foot of the mountains. Signal Mountain Summit Road climbs to views over the valley and Jackson Lake.
