That's WY A visit to Wyoming’s national parks has come to define the quintessential American vacation, and the northwest corner of Wyoming is truly one of those places everyone should see at least once. Yellowstone National Park has the world’s largest concentration of geothermal features (more than 10,000 in total), North America’s largest high-elevation lake and hundreds of species of wildlife. Located just south of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park is rich with postcard-worthy views of the Teton Range — which towers 7,000 feet above Jackson Hole. Crystalline alpine lakes mirror images of the dreamy mountains, and wildflowers carpet the meadows during the summertime. WY INDEED “What makes the landscape so special is the contrast between the pancake-flat valley of Jackson Hole, where half the park is located, and the abrupt rise of the Teton Range, where the other half is located,” says Andrew White, assistant public affairs officer at Grand Teton National Park. “The Tetons look a lot like what people expect mountains to look like — they’re like the mountains of your imagination.”
