Just 10 miles away from Yellowstone National Park, encompassing 310,000 acres, it’s a national park to be reckoned with. And Grand Teton wants your help. Park managers want your input, answering a question: Just what should they be doing?
Grand Teton wants your help—your input
Grand Teton National Park wants your help in the form of public input through August 12, 2024. Park staff are working on draft desired conditions for the park and specific management areas.
What’s that mean? “Desired conditions” are statements that describe resource conditions, visitor experiences and opportunities, and facilities and services that the National Park Service strives to achieve and maintain in a particular park or area. Desired conditions help park managers answer the question, “What are we trying to achieve?”
Grand Teton wants your help—your feedback—to better understand public perceptions as it continuously looks to improve visitor experiences.
There are two opportunities to learn more about this public engagement process and ask park leaders questions. Meetings have been set up to cover those questions.
- An in-person meeting on July 16 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. (MST) at the Teton County Library Ordway Auditorium in Jackson, Wyoming.
- A virtual meeting on July 23 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. (MST). To join the meeting, visit the National Park Service’s Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website.
Other ways to comment
The park also invites the public to submit comments through the PEPC (Planning, Environment & Public Comment) website.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! 🙂 Wow, what a great idea! 🙂 However, I’ve never been there and doubt that will change, so I’ll leave it to the rest of you to direct them. Give it some thought, they may do just what you ask. You never know, could happen. Thanks again, have a great weekend, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
Always nice to hear when the park managers want input from the public before making the decisions that affect every park user.
