MOOSE, Wyo. — For the time being, masks are to be worn inside of all park buildings within Grand Teton National Park (GTNP), due to the current high COVID-19 community level in Teton County, announced the park today.

“Department of Interior policy requires that masks are required for everyone in all park buildings in Grand Teton National Park, regardless of vaccination status,” said GTNP. “Park buildings include, but are not limited to visitor centers, administrative offices, lodges, gift shops and restaurants in the Grand Teton.”

Current Department of Interior policy requiring masks is based on the CDC’s identified COVID-19 community level.

  • HIGH: masks are required for everyone indoors in a federal building in Grand Teton National Park.
  • MEDIUM and LOW: masks are optional indoors.
  • Practice physical distancing by maintaining at least 6 feet of distance between you and others.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Do not travel if you have symptoms or have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19.
  • If you feel ill, seek medical attention and isolate yourself from other people.
