Entrance Passes for Sale, Information

The Moose Entrance station is one of four entrances to Grand Teton National Park. After driving twenty miles north from the town of Jackson on US 26/89/191, turn west at Moose Junction to get on Teton Park Road. In a mile, you will see the entrance booths. The actual border of Grand Teton lies on the highway south towards the town of Jackson. But because there are no fees to access the highway through the park, this is one of the first locations where you will be prompted to pay for entry.

Coming from Moose Junction, you will pass the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center before reaching the entrance station. Although the station will offer you a map and newspaper, the visitor center is staffed with knowledgeable rangers, exhibits, and a park film. Eight miles past the entrance station is Jenny Lake.
 
No reservations are required to enter Grand Teton National Park but there are entrance fees. The park is open 24 hours a day, so if no one is at the entrance station when you arrive, you can drive through and pay your park fee online.

Name Origin

The small community of Moose was once known as Menors Ferry until the USPS requested the name change.

Moose frequent the nearby Snake River in summer and the sagebrush flats of the terraces above in late fall and early winter.
