To drive on Teton Park Rd, park entrance permits are required. They are valid for seven days for entry into both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks; the fee is $35 per vehicle, $30 per motorcyclist and $20 for cyclists or hikers on foot. Winter day use has a lower fee, currently under review. An annual pass costs $70 (the interagency America the Beautiful Pass is a better deal at $80).

Keep your receipt to be able to reenter the park if you leave.

There is no charge to transit the park on Hwy 26/89/191 from Jackson to Moran and out east to the Togwotee Pass. This area encompasses the access road to Jackson Hole Airport.

Visitors receive a free orientation map and copy of the park newspaper, Grand Teton Guide, which details ranger-led activities, road closures and park news. Bring bear spray and know how to use it. It’s sold at park gift shops and outdoor stores.
