Teton NP and Jackson, WY

caysea7254, if you would have gotten out of your trailer and walked five minutes down the trails you would have been on the shore of Jackson Lake and seen more of the Teton range than you would ever see from Gros Ventre. Plus you would only have to go about five minutes to get to the marina to catch a cruise boat that takes you across Jackson Lake to the base of Mt. Moran and back, around Elk Island. Then, about 25 minutes down the road from Colter Bay is Jenny lake, arguably one of the prettiest places in the world with pristine water and wonderful views. Takes around 45 minutes from Gros Ventre. I will tell you we spent one week at Gros Ventre, trailing our boat back and forth to Jackson Lake to fish and, if possible, would never do it again. However, we did see more Moose in the Gros Ventre campground than we have in 50+ years of visiting Colter Bay and, if you took the trip to Slide Lake and beyond you probably got to see a herd of Big Horn Sheep, which we also don't see at Colter Bay. Also, Gros Ventre doesn't have restaurants, if that's your thing, a general store and grocery store or a laundry and shower facility as well as any place to fill your propane if you happen to run out. I believe the biggest plus for Gros Ventre is that it's way closer to Jackson, if that's your thing. We have been to Grand Teton National Park for 17 days this summer and made one day trip to Jackson, when it was raining and we couldn't get out and fish so we went sightseeing and into town. Gros Ventre is a good campground, but to say it has a better view than Colter Bay seems a bit of an overstatement.
