Parked for a Day<\/a> is a user-submitted feature that lets readers share their favorite activities in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Parked for a Day activities require parking the car, and can be done in a single day. Share your own favorite Parked for a Day activity with us<\/a> and we may feature it on Yellowstone Gate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Park your vehicle at the upper parking lots at Jackson Lake Dam. Walk west across the dam onto earthen portion of the dam. You will be rewarded with expansive wetlands on the north side that are home to elk, moose, grizzly bears, cranes, beavers and more, and you will experience the beauty of Jackson Lake and the Teton Mountain range on your south.<\/p>\n

Make sure you remember your camera, a container of water, warm coat and bear spray.<\/p>\n

I recommend that any where in the park\u00a0you have a witness and\/or\u00a0carry an video-audio recorder to protect yourself from\u00a0poorly trained\u00a0Grand Teton National Park personnel who have adopted a nasty, demeaning and harassing attitude towards photographers, visitors and\/or anyone who seeks to enjoy\u00a0the park.<\/p>\n
