2 1/2 Days In Grand Teton National Park

- We went to Grand Teton National Park for the first time in the Fall of 2020 and I fell in love with the area, so we came back again in Fall 2021.
Originally I knew nothing of Grand Teton until researching for our trip to Yellowstone National Park and saw that they bordered each other so we might as well add them to the itinerary and I am so glad I did, I think I might like the Tetons more than Yellowstone even.
We stayed 2 1/2 days in Grand Teton which is a good amount of time to see and do so many things, but if you want to hang out more in a specific area, like maybe my favorite Sting Lake, I would say 3 - 4 days would be perfect. And getting either the Just Ahead App or Gypsy Guide is so helpful when driving around Grand Teton and Yellowstone, they both do the same thing it's just a matter of voice and personality preference, our family prefers Mr Gypsy, but that's just us.

Thanks for the shoutout! Looks like an amazing trip.
We are big fans of Gypsy Guide and love when “Mr. Gypsy” comes on our trips with us!
A fine video............thanks for the memories!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
late August 22, 2022 I watched a video of Itchy Boots here on TH-cam passing by the Tetons on her way to Alaska and the tops are covered in snow already. Just beautiful.
absolutely great video!! and a great guide to tetons as well. Keep up good works (y)
Thank you for the kind words.
Phenomenal video. One of the best I’ve seen! Can I ask what camera you used for the video portions? Such great color! And very nice work on the narration. Flying in the Jackson Hole again this upcoming September and I can’t wait!
Oh wow thank you so much! We are just using our iPhone 12 & 13 Pros, and I didn’t really color edit the video portions that was really just how it filmed. I’m working on our Yellowstone videos now, we have so much footage that I have to go through it’s taking me forever, but I’m trying to upload the Upper Geyser Basin video soon. I hope you have an amazing trip this September.
Great photography
Beautiful video and narration. So glad to find you at just under 500 subs. You’re gonna blow up. Keep at it! Thanks for the helpful video and photography ideas!
Thank you so much! I am still learning, so I really appreciate the encouragement.
@@scheduledadventures all the best!
This is fabulously created! Your music choices for each video is lovely energy! Could you share so I can put it on my playlist? We are headed out to WYO on Sunday from Maine! Thank you for this inspiration! @Scheduled Adventures
@@heiditownsend5989 Thank you for the kind words! I spend so much time going through music to find the right songs I think go with the video so your comment means a lot to me. Here are all the music links through spotify. High Road - Upstate

Amazing video. I will watch again & writing notes.
Thank you so much! I love the planning process of trips so I’m so happy I could help with yours. I hope you have an amazing trip.
@@scheduledadventures Thank You! Have a great day. Maybe I'll start a vlog while going on trips. Lol
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for posting! Love the video and music.
Thank you!!!
Awesome awesome video. Going out there in 2 weeks and this was so helpful.
I’m so glad you found my video helpful. I really love Grand Teton, it’s one of the most beautiful, relaxing and adventurous place rolled into one. I’m sure you are going to have a great time on your trip.
Great tour. Great Filming.
Thank you very much!
Awesome thanks
Such stunning views! It looks like a painting. ⛰ I’m from Alberta, 3.5 hours from the heart of the Rockies but man those Teton Mountains are mighty majestic. 🥰
They are majestic, I think if I had a list of my favorite mountains Grand Teton would be at the top. 😊
You did a great job on the video !!! We completely enjoyed it and since we will be there in late April it will really help us
Thank you
Can’t wait to see Yellowstone now 👍
Thank you so much!!! I hope you have a wonderful trip.
Just visited last week. Loved seeing your video and reminiscing on the experience.
Thank you so much! It’s hard to get enough of Grand Teton 😊
OMG I love you guys. You make Google Maps with icons and color coding just like I do!!! I paused and copied 3:28, lol. Great video! We're going in July.
Wow. The itinerary at 6:27.... Just like us... Can we be OCD best friends?!? 🤣🤣
Lol yes!!! I love finding other OCD planners, some people just don’t understand 😁 Google is so amazing for planning, I color code my icons based on day and I don’t know if you noticed the color on the top of the itemerary, it matches the icon color of the day just to keep things organized 🤣
When you go in July, make sure you download your map offline before you get in the park because the cell service is almost nonexistent. I know you are going to have a great trip because you are already planning for everything 😊
@@scheduledadventures hmmm, colors based on day? Interesting. I'd have to switch mine too much (just stressed through Glacier Vehicle res day on 3/1 🤬). I color code by category (purple for restaurants, dk green for trailheads, etc).
@@HikerDudeDad Oh! I hope you were able to get a reservation, they are really making visiting some of these National Parks stressful. We are going to Glacier too, it will be our first time and the vehicle reservations and figuring out what trails are usually open and closed is a lot to juggle. I actually start my maps out with the same color coding as you and then change them when I plan our days, if Google would give us a wider range of colors or numbered icons the organization possibilities could be endless 😊
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
I had never seen one of your videos...what an introduction. This was incredible.
Wow thank you so much!
You got some great shots!!!! Still my top 3 favorite places in the country. Safe travels!
Thank you,! I think it's in my top 3 too, but I do have a lot more places to see. I would love to know what your other 2 favorite places are so I can add them to my list or push them closer to the top of my list.
Breath taking!!
Grand Teton is beautiful, it’s definitely one of my favorite National Parks.
Great video and narration. I am going to be there in the end of September.
Thank you so much that is so kind of you to say! I think you will love it there in September, these fires out West may cause some haze if they don’t get them under control but we have been there before durning fires and still loved it. I hope you have a great trip!
Yep hidden falls had many comical marmot. There was a huge earthquake at inspiration point about a week after I was there. The news outlets used my photos in the news report. I always post my photos
Really good video, gives a good sense what the average tourist is likely to see.
Thank you!
Great video, visited in May 2022 and planning to return in 2023.
Thank you! I did the same thing, I think Grand Teton is one of those places where you think you’ll go once and see it but after that first visit you just want to keep going back over and over again.
Great job on the video👍
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing ma'am. Going to YSNP in Sept. Thinking of driving down south.
Thank you and enjoy your trip to Yellowstone. I would highly recommend at least a quick day trip in Grand Teton, just driving through you will be amazed at the beauty.
great music selection
Thank you!
Suggestion- take boat across on Jenny Lake. Hike up to inspiration point and a couple miles beyond. Saw many moose and the scenery is breathtaking!! You won’t regret it.
Oh wow! have been wanting to continue past inspiration point and taking the boat there to our energy is a great suggestion. I will definitely do that on our next trip. Thank you.
Awesome video! Great footage, narration, and I enjoy the music. I wish I could have seen this before I visited Grand Teton and Yellowstone in Fall 2022. I'll follow you to Yellowstone video.
Oh wow thank you! I’m very nervous every time I put out a video so your comment means so much to me. ☺️
@@scheduledadventures You're very creative and professional. Great quality and full of informations.
Why add music? Especially dorky whining. Isn't the view, the mountains enough? As grand as this is, there is something missing?
Awesome content…
Thank you
Great video. I like the Cunningham cabin.
Thank you! I like the cabin as well, looking back at how settlers lived fascinates and impresses me.
Thank you beautiful n very informative from looking at a map
Thank you so much!
@@scheduledadventures your welcome
Love the video! Where is that church located 😍
Thank you! The church is in the same parking area as Menors Ferry District, it’s to the north of the parking lot and Menors Ferry is to the south.
thank you so much for this video! i used your guide as a guide for me to create my own guide lol. i plan to take my family of 4 including my 3yr old daughter and 6 yr old son in 2-3 yrs when they are older and can do some of the hikes esp my youngest.
Thank you! I think kids would love this place with the exploding water and mud and all the animal roaming around, it impresses me as an adult so I can only imagine how cool it is to kids.
We are going to be there in Colter Bay RV park end of July what camp space did you have, are they pretty level, we will be there with a motorhome do you think we will be okay
We stayed in the Colter Bay Campground site 224-K, which is different from the RV Park, they are near each other but separate “campgrounds”, but we did drive through the RV park to check it out. It has a different layout from the campground, the RV park has more traditional aisles with pull through sites side by side, I’m not sure how level they are, but nothing stood out making me think I wouldn’t want to set up camp there. We did notice it seemed much more shaded in that area than the campground we stayed in which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your preference, and it’s also closer to the lake and the general store which is convenient. If you have anymore question feel free to ask and I will answer them the best that I can, I hope you have a great time on your trip!
@@scheduledadventures thanks for the info we are very excited to go there hopefully we can get up early to see the sunrise
Great video! VERY INFORMATIVE!! Did you stay at Colter Bay Village RV Park? Curious as to your site # since you commented that
most of the sites were not very private.
Thank you so much! We didn’t stay at the Colter Bay RV Park side we were at the regular Colter Bay campground which doesn’t have hookups but for me the sites are nicer at the campground, the Rv park seemed even less private than the regular campground with mostly center aisle pull throughs that are open to your neighbors on both sides. Our site number was K226 and I would definitely pick that site again. Campendium.com has some photos of both the campground and RV park and you can kind of see the difference.
Heading to Grand Tetons and YNP next week!! I’ve been watching your videos daily for inspiration and itinerary being the over planner lol. Btw would you be willing to share your printed out itinerary shown at beginning of your videos?
How exciting!!! We will actually be going again next week too and I love hearing that there are other over planners out there like me, and since we are over planners this reply will be extra long :) Sorry I didn't get all the videos done in time for your trip planning, it is taking me so long to edit them. I actually deleted the Yellowstone itineraries, but I still have the Teton and can share a link to them so you can get an idea of how I made it and probably improve on it. We really didn't use the itineraries that much for Yellowstone & Teton, just a general guide of things that I knew i wanted to see in the areas but we mostly let the Gypsy Guide App direct us. (I still had fun making the itineraries anyway) My best tips I think would be these: 1. Download google maps offline just so you have a map since cell service is practically non existent, same with Gypsy Guide App if you use it, download it before you go to the park and then it will work throughout the park. 2. If you are really interested in seeing wildlife have the passengers keep their eyes peeled, we spotted coyotes and a grizzly bear just while driving and another grizzly in the Mammoth Springs parking lot, some of its luck and also having good eyes, but also stop when you see people on the side of the road with huge professional cameras and scopes, even if it's not one of the special animals you had your heart set on seeing talk to them about the animals and park and they will more than likely share all sorts of fun information about the animals and will tell you where they last saw whatever it is you are looking for. 3. Old Faithful. Of Course Old Faithful is a must see, but because it is so faithful I would suggest looking at eruption times on the Yellowstone National Park App for Grand Geyser, Castle Geyser, or Daisy Geyser and prioritize one of those and then you can go back to Old Faithful and watch it before you leave that area, I personally like Grand Geyser more than Old Faithful. I hope you have a great trip! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JASpubVL2ittPKuxzUIe9-KS6jZi_o_WCqWM2HakN_8/edit#gid=0
Awesome video. Your site was nice, do you remember the number of it? Looking to go next summer..
Thank you! We stayed at the campground portion of Colter Bay not the RV park and our site was K226, we really liked our site.
Do you happen to have a digital copy of the schedule you created in this video that you share with others?
Here is a link to the spreadsheet I used, and I updated it with some notes and the actual times we did things in real life. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MBCpp-9PB5wQPqYv9bx2vQa4p-NQ5r7CyPw9jfnkfTY/edit?usp=sharing
I have learned that you don't need a strict schedule for the Tetons or Yellowstone, just having a basic outline of highlights you really want to see and doing them first and filling in the rest of the time with wildlife viewing and following the GuideAlong app's advice of where to go is enough of a plan. Also, one thing I would definitely change on our trip would be to take the boat at Jenny Lake both ways to Hidden Falls instead of hiking there, because by the time we got to the falls the 1st boat was already arriving at the dock, and by doing that we could have used our energy to hike further past Inspiration Point, but we had a great trip and had plenty of time to see everything we really wanted to see in those 2 1/2 days.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing! What month was this? just for reference.
We went in September. We actually go every year in September now because our first experience that time of year was so good.
Great video. Can I ask where the Teton grade pass starts on what hwy. also what hwy did you take to go around the grade.
The grade is on Teton Pass Highway 22. Our friends drive it in their 5th wheel and a class C motorhome, but complain to us how steep it is, so we take Highway 26 to Alpine and then Highway 89 & 191. Google maps didn’t show it as an option so I had to put in directions to Hoback Wy in order for it to go around the pass. It’s a beautiful drive and only 10-20 minutes longer and we don’t have to worry about our breaks.
Thanks for the video and recommendations on the app. Does the app work without the cell network coverage ?
Yes the app works without cellphone coverage, you just need to download it to your phone while you have Wi-Fi and then it’s good to go. I feel like the app makes seeing the Tetons and Yellowstone so much easier. I hope you have a great trip.
@@scheduledadventures thanks
when exactly did you go? I am headed there the last week in September and am nervous about weather, but it looks beautiful in your video!
That’s when we went, last week of September. So far for the last 3 years we have had good weather that week, with just a slight dusting of snow one day out of the week and then last year we had a little rain one day, but mostly cold mornings and beautiful days.
Great trip. What did you use for video? Thanks
Thanks. I’m just using my iPhone right now, and not even with a gimbal. I haven’t really invested much into it yet, but I’m going to start to look into it.
Amazing video. How did you keep your devices charged? lol
Thank you! We always struggle keeping things charged, we would always plug into the car charger while driving and we carry a brick charger in our backpacks and we always seem to need it while out exploring.
When you say Cheese Burger, is that the Steak Burgers???
Yes, sorry it’s the Steak Burger that we really like.
Did you carry bear spray with you on your hikes?
Yes, we mostly kept it in our backpack side pocket which they don’t recomend, but we did always have it with us.
If you are planning a trip yourself, I know you can buy bear spray in West Yellowstone and it was the same price we paid for it in California. They also rent it in town and I have heard sometime guest leave it at the front desk of hotels when they checkout so other people checking in can then use it. I hope that info helps.
I see your videos was posted 4 months ago- what time of year did you go to the Grand Tetons? How was the weather??
We actually went at the end of September and I loved it so much during that time of year, the trees are changing colors and the animals are active getting ready to hibernate. The weather hasn’t been bad for us in September we did have a little snow on the side of the road in some places last year but we haven’t had it snow on us in September, some days it would be so cold in the mornings my bottle of water would freeze in the car while we stopped and looked around at different spots but by afternoon I would be in a tee shirt, so we wore layers and I kept my gloves and hats in the car in case I needed them some mornings, but as someone who is always cold it really wasn’t that bad.
Good morning! I have a question. Did you have a strong signal for using phone Google Map when driving in Grand Teton National Park or you had to use a GPS?
No, the phone signal would come and go often. I did downloaded google maps so we could use if offline and the Gypsy App that we used that gives audio tours works without signal once you download it and it gives general verbal directions to different locations.
Is oxbow bend better for sunrise or sunset in early september?
You really can’t go wrong with either, there are so many good spots to watch sunrise and sunset in the park it’s really hard to choose the best, but if I absolutely had to…I would probably pick sunrise.
@@scheduledadventures I am always looking for good sunrise and sunset spots
@@kariwilson5766 me too, best places to view sunrises and sunsets are always part of my planning process.
@scheduledadventures how do you find the best sunrises and sunsets? Any ideas we are going here and Yellowstone
So the Tetons are interesting because sunrise and sunset locations are pretty much the same because the mountains are the pretty focal point for both, the one exception is Mormon Row which is better for sunrise. So the places we like for both sunrise and sunset are Oxbow Bend, Schwabacher Landing, and Snake River Overlook.
We had a harder time with sunrises and sunsets in Yellowstone just because we were limited on time so we had to get right into our days. Artist Point is one of the most popular sunrise spots but I bet sunset would be good too, We have seen really pretty sunrises at West Thumb Basin with the turquoise pools and the lake in the background. We don’t catch too many sunsets but I would think most of the geysers basins like Old Faithful would be a good location.
Not sunrise or sunset related but the Grand Prismatic overlook is best in the mid afternoon on a clear day, when the sun is directly overhead it brings more of the colors of the pool out.
Never haven’t driven in this area before, my map told me to take the 31 out of Swan Valley.
34 ft 5th wheel. Those were some of the steepest grades I have ever driven. ( up and down) No for the weak hearted !!!😀😀
Will take the 26 down and around next time.
Yes the gps maps don’t usually give the option of taking the 26 for some reason but we were warned by friends not to drive the Pass and going through Alpine was so pretty and a great build up to the Tetons.
Oh man!
Wyoming natives must be: “Really? A wildlife jam for a pronghorn?”
Yes! The poor locals, by the end of the week we are even saying “We aren’t stopping for another deer, bison or elk we have seen plenty of them now.”
What month did you visit?
We went at the very end of September. We have gone twice now in September and love it because of the beautiful fall colors, the wildlife is active, there is less smoke from the summer wildfires, the weather has been pleasant, and it’s a little less crowded. I hope that helps if you are trying to plan when to visit the Grand Teton National Park.
Also, im going into this park today 10.5.22
We just left on October 2nd and had a great time and wonderful weather. Have a fun trip.
👍👍👍👍👍
Of course the views are tremendous. This is amazing that it was created. Are there any sounds along these trails? Birds? Little critters scurrying under brush? A boat cruising by? The sounds of other hikers huffing and puffing? Sometimes very funny comments they say with a chuckle? I've met wonderful people during hikes.
I would love to hear the mountain. Why the dorky music that has NOTHING to do with outdoors?
I find downloaded music screaming..".the best is yet to come...woo woo.....ready or not ready or not," over and over ....to be terribly intrusive. The descriptive comments, however are nicely done. And I do have a mute button on this computer along with closed caption.
Thank you for your constructive criticism. I actually use the music for two reasons, while I would love to use the audio of the sounds around us, the ambience of birds, water, trees and the people hiking, unfortunately you need special equipment for that, and the camera and iPhone I use to record our trips picks up the slightest breeze, making the audio hiss and crack very loudly and therefore unusable, so the music fills in the dead air. The second reason is more of a personal preference, but the way my brain works the best is with music. I constantly “play” songs in my head that relate to what I am seeing and feeling, and I also find years later music will trigger certain emotions and memories, taking me back in time to a place I have been. When a song comes on without ever talking about it I can ask my kids what does this song remind you of and they will answer with a vacation we took 15-20 years ago.
I do have new microphones now that removes the sound of the wind, but I don’t think they can pick up the atmospheric sounds, but if I do ever pick up good sound I will use it to balance the videos use of natural sounds and music, hopefully that will bridge the gap for both types of viewers.

What would make your hikes a lot easier is if both of you lost some weight...20-50 lbs, for starters for the ladies. Great video, though!
Lol thanks????? If I lost 20-50 lbs I wouldn’t be able to hike at all because I’m 5’10 and would weight under 100lbs 🤣
make sure that your makeup looks good on camera . for most females do not wear makeup while hiking most trails. you are funny.
Thank you, I can be pretty funny sometimes, but I don’t think any of us were wearing makeup hiking or otherwise, heck we did even take showers.
you do not even live there. how could you even pass judgement. i find your comments very shallow.
I’m not sure what you are referring to. I do like to be honest with my experiences, but I’m really not sure what part has upset you.
Where do the non native mountain goats the National Park Service are killing in Grand Teton National Park come from? 18:45
They were brought into the Idaho/Wyoming Snake River Area in the 1960’s for people to hunt them, but they migrated into the Grand Tetons, spreading diseases to the Bighorn. That’s how I understand it.
