Grand Teton National Park - Great Yellowstone

On the south side Yellowstone National Park quietly changes into Grand Teton National Park. A total of six mountain tops, the highest of which is the Grand Teton with an altitude of almost 4200 metres. Flora and fauna here are very similar to that in Yellowstone. Here too, there are flowery alpine meadows and the same birds, bisons, elks and pronghorns.
The bottom of the dales mainly consists of glacier deposits, and therefore it can only hold little water. The result is that we see much grass and many lupins. The sagebrush is especially common in these parts.
Grand Teton is also famous for its moose. Together with Yellowstone and the surrounding national forests and wild reserves, the Americans refer to this area as Great Yellowstone. All areas together have an area of 36,000 square kilometres. For centuries Grand Teton was inhabited by Indians who fished and hunted here. Later the fur hunters and colonists arrived. And the moose...fortunately, it stayed.
