The Moran Entrance Station is one of four entrances to Grand Teton National Park. Coming from the town of Jackson, drive 30 miles north on US Highway 89/191/26 before turning west to continue on US Highway 89/191/287 to the northern area of the park and the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Continuing straight will take you on US Highway 26 towards the eastern border of the park and onto Dubois, WY. If coming from the town of Jackson or Dubois, you have already entered into the park's borders. Because there are no fees to travel on the highway, this is one of the first locations where you will be prompted to pay an entrance fee. 

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. 

Beyond the entrance station, the road will take you past Oxbow Bend, to Jackson Lake Junction (where you can make a loop by heading south on Teton Park Road, towards Jackson Lake Lodge and Colter Bay, or to the south entrance of Yellowstone. 

Name Origin

Landscape artist Thomas Moran accompanied the 1872 Hayden expedition into Yellowstone. Moran produced many sketches and watercolors introducing the Greater Yellowstone area to Easterners. He visited the west side of the Teton Range, but never saw the mountain named for him.
