Things for visitors in GTNP to consider:

  • Entrance fees are required to enter GTNP. Fees and passes can be paid at the Moose and Moran entrance stations, or through Recreation.gov.
  • Be watchful and cautious of wildlife, as it is common for animals to use park roads.
  • Carry bear spray, have it readily accessible and know how to use it.
  • Drivers should slow down and use caution in parking areas.
  • Be thoughtful of how music may affect others. Operating an audio device, such as a stereo, Bluetooth speaker, radio or musical instrument, in a manner which is unreasonable and impacts park users is prohibited by law.
  • Food and water are not available at the trailhead or along the road.
  • Restroom facilities are available at Taggart Lake Trailhead, Cottonwood Picnic Area and Signal Mountain Lodge. Portable restrooms are also located along Teton Park Road.
  • Leave no trace and dispose of trash in receptacles located at both ends of the road.
  • Dogs are permitted on the Teton Park Road on a leash no longer than six feet. Pet owners are required to clean up after their dogs, and waste disposal bag stations are located at both ends of the road. Bags should be deposited in trash receptacles and not left along the road. 

The paved multi-use pathway in the park is open whenever it is predominately free of snow and ice. The pathway is closed from dusk to dawn for wildlife and public safety. Pets are not permitted on the pathway.
