This is Part 1 of our series on National Parks and how you can visit them by private jet. We start with Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

A preferred partner shared a wonderful idea that I wanted to share with you. When we are able to travel again, domestic travel will probably become available faster than international travel. So, why not explore our National Parks? And what better way to see them than by private jet. Everyone will still be cautious about crowds so National Parks are an excellent way to escape crowded resorts and limit your contact with people. Traveling by private jet also limits your contact with people and reduces your travel time between the parks.

A suggested 10-day itinerary can include 8 parks, each with different landscapes and activities. The parks in this itinerary include Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyons, Zion National, Grand Canyon, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Lake Powell).

Your vacation starts by flying into Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) where you will arrive at the private aviation terminal for your visit to Grand Teton National Park. Since Yellowstone National Park is about a 2-hour car ride from Grand Teton National Park they are a natural combination. Stay tuned for the following blogs in this series which will cover the other parks.

Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park is located in northwest Wyoming. It spans 480 square miles and includes lush valley floors, mountain meadows, alpine lakes, and the rising peaks of the Teton Range.
