Sunrise at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Mind-blowing beauty is one reason people keep coming back to Wyoming and the Grand Teton National Park. Named "les trois tétons" by early French trappers, the park was created in 1929 by conservationists including John D. Rockefeller Jr. It is home to a virtually untouched ecosystem of plants and animals, such as grizzly bears, wolves, bison, moose, and bald eagles.
