The Lucas Fabian cabins are one ski destination in Grand Teton/Grand Teton National Park Foundation

Grand Teton National Park in winter is a wonderland...if you like cold, snow, and blue skies! 

You'll find 14 miles of roadway groomed for cross-country skiing, and countless other miles if you don't mind breaking trail on skis or snowshoes. To explore the park with snow under foot, consider these cross-country ski suggestions from the Grand Teton National Park Foundation.

Park at Bradley-Taggart Trailhead:

* Jenny Lake 9 miles round trip, 200 feet of elevation gain: This full day tour will take you gliding by the Cathedral Group to one of Grand Teton'™s most iconic destinations. Jenny Lake is the busiest place in the park in the summer, but if you make the effort to ski there in the winter, solitude and stunning scenery are guaranteed.

* Lucas Fabian Cabins Roughly 5 miles round trip, less than 100 feet of elevation gain: The Lucas Fabian Cabins are one of Grand Teton'™s cherished, and seldom seen, historic and cultural resources. The cabins were built by homesteader Geraldine Lucas who became the second woman to climb the Grand Teton (click here for more historical information). To reach the cabins, head north along the inner park road. Once you reach the turn-off for the Climber'™s Ranch (second road north of the trailhead), make your way down the road and cross Cottonwood Creek. After you cross the bridge, head north along the west bank of the creek. You will cross a tributary to the creek, and then continue north until you reach an open meadow where you will find the cabins. The view from the cabins is incredible and provides a great lunch destination!

Park at Signal Mountain Lodge:

* Signal Mountain 10.4 miles round trip, 1,700 feet of elevation gain: Head south from the Signal Mountain Lodge parking lot along the inner park road. After approximately one half mile, the Signal Mountain road will be on your left. Take this snow covered, unplowed road trail to the summit. If you find yourself tired en route, there are fabulous views of Jackson Lake along the way that make great resting spots or final destinations. The view from the top is spectacular, offering vistas of the Tetons, Gros Ventres, and Absarokas.

* Jackson Lake Once the surface of Jackson Lake has a thick layer of ice (late December/early January) the snow on top provides a magnificent place for winter adventure. You can ski or snowshoe as far as you want, and beautiful views of Mount Moran and other northern Teton peaks are sure to impress any winter recreationist.

Just remember to take water, snacks, and some extra clothing with you. And your camera, of course.
