Jenny Lake Visitor Center

About Jenny Lake Visitor Center

Harrison Crandall built this cabin in 1921 near the Cathedral Group Turnout as his studio. Today, the visitor center highlights the relationship between art, inspiration, and action in Grand Teton. Rangers are available at the front desk, in the plaza, and on trails for trip planning, park information, and education. Attend one of the many ranger programs offered here or shop at the Grand Teton Association bookstore. The nearby Jenny Lake Ranger Station offers backcountry and boat permits.
