As my wife and I got out of our car in front of the visitor center at Colter Bay, we looked around the expansive parking lot to find--no one there. We were entirely alone at one of Grand Teton National Park's most popular summertime destinations. In just four months, hundreds of cars, trucks, and RVs will fill this and other lots at Signal Mountain, Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake lodges, but this was mid-week in February, and only the heated bathroom at the visitor center was open.

While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has ruled that Yellowstone National bison don't need protection of the Endangered Species Act, a federal judge isn't so sure.

Grand Teton National Park saw record visitation in 2017, the fourth straight year of increasing turnouts, according to the park staff.

A red fox that became accustomed to handouts from visitors at Grand Teton National Park had to be put down because it became overly bold in approaching people.
