Agree with Cloud Driver. For two western National Parks that are only about 25 miles apart, they are completely different. Since you're a fellow Ohioan, I'll give you a couple of secrets if you promise not to tell anybody. On your way south on Teton Park Rd. there's a left hand turnoff for Signal Mountain. Its a steep and winding road, but at the top, there's a viewing platform that has a view of the whole Teton Valley. My last trip up there, I watched a hot air balloon float past and I was looking down on it.
When you return to the Teton Park Rd. southbound take the Jenny Lake Loop Rd. southbound. There's a small turnout that takes you down to the shore line. Probably parking for no more than 6 cars. Walk over to the edge of the lake, sit down on a rock and stare at the lake and the mountains that come down to the water's edge. It'll lower your blood pressure 20 points. Maybe the most beautiful spot I've ever visited in my travels.
