A Summer at Grand Teton National Park

This past summer, Christina Adele Warburg landed her dream job: Park ranger at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Christina lived and worked at Grand Teton’s Moose Entrance Station, welcoming people to the park. Now she’s sharing her experience and some great insider travel tips for anyone looking to plan a trip to Grand Teton.

Unless you have lived it, it can be hard to understand how truly wonderful it is to spend a summer at Grand Teton.

It’s driving to the post office and seeing wolves eating a moose carcass off the side of the road. It’s waking up at 2 am to an elk bugling a few feet outside your window. It’s hanging around a campfire with your co-workers — people who become your family. It’s every second of your free time being filled with hikes, wildlife, lakes, rivers, stars and friends.

It’s taking away all the distractions of life and learning what really matters. It’s waking up every morning, looking at the peaks and still not being used to the beauty. It’s hearing the same question over a hundred times a day for months on end, and being so happy you don’t mind answering it again. It’s not knowing what else is happening around the globe because your whole world is the park.

It is living life amplified – that’s what Grand Teton is like.
