GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK PACKING LIST

Here’s a list of items we recommend you pack for a trip to Grand Teton:

The America the Beautiful Annual Pass

We highly recommend you get the US National Park Pass, especially if you’ll be visiting multiple parks. It’s valid for one year from the date of purchase. Check the National Park Service website for the most current pricing information.

If you’re a US citizen these other passes are also available:

• Senior Pass if you’re over 62
• Military Pass
• 4th Grade Pass

One of the cool features of the national parks pass is it allows two signatures so the pass can be shared. The two people don’t have to be related either. You will need to show photo ID each time you use the pass.

We like to buy our National Park pass through REI – they donate 10% of sale proceeds to the National Park Foundation which is cool! You can also get them at any of these Federal Recreation Areas.
