With Yellowstone setting a June visitation record, it’s no surprise we also saw a Grand Teton June 2021 visitation record, with an estimated 752,114 recreation visits.

A Grand Teton grizzly has been relocated within the park after the subadult bear received a food reward in two incidents due to “irresponsible” human actions, leading to charges against a visitor, according to an NPS report.

Based on new information from a witness, the search for lost Grand Teton hiker Cian McLaughlin has shifted to the Bradley Lake and Taggart Lake areas.

This is escalating quickly: the Grand Teton fire danger rating has been revised upward to very high, as hot and dry conditions will persist during coming weeks.

National Park Service officials have resumed a search for a missing Grand Teton hiker, 27-year-old Cian McLaughlin, based on new information from a local climbing guide.

And the dry, warm conditions continue: the Grand Teton fire danger has been upgraded by the National Park Service to high, as no rain is present in the 10-day weather forecast.

Yellowstone wasn’t the only National Park putting up strong numbers, as 2020 Grand Teton visitation was down only 3.4 percent from 2019, despite being closed for almost two months of the summer season.

There were plenty of calls to open Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks for the summer 2020 season earlier, but various factors resulted in a limited launch yesterday. Here’s how to navigate those limits.

More closures to note for Grand Teton National Park and concessionaire Grand Teton Lodging Company: Jackson Lake Lodge and Jenny Lake Lodge are not expected to open in the summer 2020 season.

As with Yellowstone, the Grand Teton summer 2020 season is still a work in progress, as concessionaire Grand Teton Lodging Company has announced opening days for its facilities, but there’s no firm park opening date.
