Face Masks Required Indoors At Grand Teton National Park

By NPT Staff - June 13th, 2022

Face masks are again being required in buildings in Grand Teton National Park/NPS

An escalation in covid cases in Teton County, Wyoming, has prompted Grand Teton National Park officials to require that face masks be worn inside buildings in the park. Park buildings include, but are not limited to visitor centers, administrative offices, lodges, gift shops, and restaurants in the national park.

Current Department of Interior policy requiring masks are based on the CDC’s identified COVID-19 community level. For more information on COVID-19 in the local park area, please see Teton County Health Department.

  • HIGH: masks are required for everyone indoors in a federal building in Grand Teton National Park.
  • MEDIUM and LOW: masks are optional indoors.
  • Practice physical distancing by maintaining at least 6 feet of distance between you and others.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Do not travel if you have symptoms or have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19.
  • If you feel ill, seek medical attention and isolate from other people.

As conditions are subject to change, details and updates on park operations and masking requirements will be posted on the park’s website and social media channels.

The beginning of this article indicates there's an escalation in covid cases within that area, and park officials are understandably worried about their employees and others (as in visitors to the park, which would include you, Joey?). I have never understood the problem with wearing a piece of cloth over ones' nose and mouth in an effort to protect others as well as oneself. Believe it or not, you can still breathe, even with a mask. Heck, Joey, If you don't want to wear a mask, then just don't go into any of the buildings. Problem solved. Right?
