Camping in the Gros Ventre Wilderness is nothing short of incredible. Not only do you get away from the sometimes crowds of Grand Teton National Park, but you can bring your pups as well! You have views of not only the Tetons from some spots, but also the Gros Ventre Range. You do not need a permit for backcountry camping, so you can set up anywhere -- they just ask that you select a site 200ft from a lakeshore so the opportunities for solitude can be maintained (how cool is that!). There is also ample fishing, hiking, and an actual campground in the area.And don't forget the wildlife! In one day, I saw bears, moose, elk, caught a few fish, and a whole slew of marmots :) To get there, head to the Gros Ventre Campground, then it’s about 10 miles from east of there, but honestly, there are a lot of little pull outs, and I just drove (about 10 miles) until I could see the Teton Mountain Range behind me.
Take highway 89 out of Jackson, headed north, and turn on to Gros Ventre Rd. This will take you right past the campground, wild rivers, and ample hiking. Keep driving for about 20 miles as views of the Tetons appear behind you, and ample backcountry camping options become available.

Such a great camping spot to pair with a few nights in Grand Tetons. The views are incredible and you'll bypass the typical crowds of the park. It is definitely worth hiking away from the road a bit for a more unique, secluded spot so pack light.
Camp in the Gros Ventre Wilderness
Many places to set up camp. Amazing views and plenty of wildlife. Take extra precautions and keep a safe distance from wildlife. It's bear country so be really bear aware. My suggestion is to pack light, park, hike and hike to peaceful serenity. Take a map and study it or if you #dontknowdontgo other wise enjoy!
Camp in the Gros Ventre Wilderness
I love camping at the spot called "The Wedding Tree" at the top of the hill on Gros Ventre Road. Amazing views!
Camp in the Gros Ventre Wilderness
I love the seclusion this spot has in the early season. So much less noise and people compared to the other park campgrounds.

Hike along the Gros Ventre River
The Gros Ventre (pronounced gro-vant) lies on the southern boundary of Grand Teton National Park, and is home to a great deal of wildlife. As the seasons change, so do the wildlife that frequent this area, but no matter what time of year you hike along the river, you're bound to see something spectacular.In autumn, the Gros Ventre comes alive, even as it fades into winter. The cottonwood trees ...
Camp at the Gros Ventre Campground
This campground is the closest one in Grand Teton National Park to the town of Jackson, so if you are looking for convenience, this is it! The Gros Ventre (pronounced Grow Vont, NOT Gross Venture) campground offers sites for both RV's and tents and is nestled in a grove of cottonwood trees. All campsites include a picnic table, fire pit, and nearby bathrooms include flush toilets, with cold run...
Night Photography at Mormon Row
While you may have seen the hundreds of shots of this place at Sunrise or Sunset, very few people come here at night to shoot the barns. Every time I have gone I have been the only one out there. Avoid the crowds and wait for the stars to come out to get some amazing milky way photos.If you aren't familiar with shooting the Milky Way, you will first need to check at what time the moon will be s...

Bird Watch Along Moose Willson Road
Moose Wilson Road provides a diversity of bird watching opportunities for everyone from novices to experts. The road heads out of Moose, Wyoming, then runs through the park for about an 8 mile stretch. There are many pull-offs along the way, where you can start looking for birds, as well as a number of hiking trails that will take you to more secluded locations. One hiking option is the Phelps ...
Explore the 4 Lazy F Ranch
This ranch is not very well known at all, even by those who have lived in the area for years, but it's definitely worth the visit. It's giant red barn against the backdrop of the Tetons, which is any photographer's dream and trumps the more famous Mormon Row with its beauty.To get there, park at the parking lot for the Chapel of the Transfiguration/Menor's Ferry. Walk towards Menor's Ferry and ...
