2 Best Hotels in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
The choice of lodging properties within the park is as diverse as the landscape itself. You'll find simple campgrounds, cabins, and standard motel rooms, but you can also settle into a homey bed-and-breakfast or a luxurious suite in a full-service resort. Between June and August, rates go up and rooms are harder to get unless you make a reservation well ahead of your visit.

Triangle X Ranch
Starting three years before Grand Teton National Park was established in 1929—the Turner family ranch has been hosting visitors who come for a week of hearty meals, horseback riding, and in some cases, big game hunting at the only dude ranch in a national park. Now run by the fourth and fifth generations of Turners, it's still going strong. Accommodations are in rustic, yet comfortable, 1- to 4-bedroom log cabins, some of which date back to the late 1880s. Meals are served in the main house, where there's a welcoming family room with a fireplace and a piano, but most guests spend their free time in the saddle, exploring parts of the park only accessible via foot or hoof. Open year-round, the ranch also offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, and wilderness adventures, rafting, and fishing in the warmer months. For a summer stay, book at least a year (or ideally, two) in advance.
