Grand Teton National Park remained open during the federal shutdown with minimal disruptions despite 100 of 130 employees furloughed.
Grand Teton National Park saw mostly minor trip disruptions during the federal shutdown, with about 100 of 130 employees furloughed, leaving only essential staff for safety and emergency duties.
Visitors reported missing ranger guidance, closed visitor centers, and unmanaged wildlife sightings, raising safety concerns, though most still accessed the park.
Some appreciated no entrance fees, while others criticized the impact on experience and funding.
Despite staffing cuts, the park maintained operations, supporting $808 million in visitor spending in 2024—up 9.4%—and 3,860 jobs, outperforming Yellowstone in economic impact per visitor.
