Title: Where to stay at Grand Tetons National Park?
Post by: spotmeter on March 05, 2011, 09:04:38 pm: I'm planning a two-week trip to Grand Tetons for late May, early June and would like some recommendations on places to stay.

I cook my own food and so prefer hotel or cabin with kitchenette. I would also like to bring my dog, a very well-behaved lab.

There are some self contained cabins in Moose, right by the river. Can't remember the name but I found them excellent. Don't know about the pup...

Best be at Oxbow well (I mean well) before sunrise (if during peak seaso) I got there about 40 minutes before sunrise and there were 38 tripods already set up. One has to wonder just how unique your shot is going to be?

There were only two places I could find that allowed dogs to stay there, you couldn't leave them in the hotel while you went to eat or anything, and most places were a little bit nasty about it. Also note that you won't be allowed to bring your dog on any trails or anywhere off the main road or parking lots inside the park. In general dogs are not allowed on trails in any of the US national parks. The good news is that many of the national parks, including Tetons, has national forest right "across the road" that you can take your dog on. I think it really stinks that dogs aren't allowed at national parks, but that's the way it is.

Imagine how it would stink if they were they allowed ;)
