Road Information

When planning a visit to Grand Teton National Park, especially during the winter months or migration seasons, it's essential to stay informed about road conditions and closures. Here's a summary of key points and precautions: Winter Road Closures (November 1 through April 30): Certain roads within the park are closed to motor vehicles, including Antelope Flats Road, Signal Mountain Road, and sections of Teton Park Road and Moose-Wilson Road. These closures help protect wildlife habitats and provide routes for winter sports like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Road Condition Contacts: For the most current road information, contact the park directly. During summer, dial (307) 739-3614, and in winter, use (307) 739-3682. This ensures you receive up-to-date details on road conditions, closures, and any travel advisories. Wildlife Migration Precautions: During spring (mid-March through early June) and fall (September through November) migration seasons, be particularly vigilant for wildlife crossing the roads. These periods see increased movement of elk, bears, and other animals, posing potential hazards to both wildlife and motorists. Slow down and be prepared for sudden stops. Summer Road Construction: Summer visitors should be aware of potential road-improvement projects that could affect travel routes to and within the park. For detailed information on these projects, including maps and specific areas affected, visit the National Park Service website or pick up a road construction map at park entrances or visitor centers. By staying informed and prepared, visitors can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience in Grand Teton National Park, regardless of the season. Always prioritize safety for yourself, other visitors, and the park's wildlife by adhering to posted speed limits, road closure signs, and wildlife crossing warnings.
