FROM JACKSON TO MORAN JUNCTION
As you leave town going north on U.S. Highway 8 9/1 91 from the center of Jackson, you'll pass
the National Wildlife Art Museum, the National Elk Refuge, and the National Fish Hatchery.
At Gros Ventre Junction, a paved road to the northeast leads to a campground and the town
of Kelly.
A few miles farther north is the Jackson Hole Airport. Private aircraft and commercial
737s use this airport, located completely within Grand Teton National Park.
At Moose Junction, about 13 miles (21 km) north of Jackson, you'll have to choose your
route to Jackson Lake Junction. Either turn onto Teton Park Road, which takes you closer to
the lakes and mountains, or stay on U.S. Highways 26/89/191, which is a bit longer, yet faster
and with equally spectacular views. On each road, there are lots of turnouts and several inter-
pretive displays.
Northwest of Moose Junction is a Grand Teton National Park entrance station. Visitor cen-
ters are at Moose, South Jenny Lake, and Colter Bay. We'll describe only the eastern highway
route.
