Grand Teton park to outshine bigger Yellowstone for eclipse

Cheyenne, Wyo. • Its jagged, soaring peaks rise high over northwest Wyoming, but Grand Teton National Park is always in the shadow of its world-renowned neighbor, Yellowstone National Park.

But thanks to the total solar eclipse Monday, Grand Teton is expected to outshine, and overshadow, one of the nation’s most popular parks — at least for the day. Grand Teton is directly in the path of the eclipse — where the sun is completely blocked by the moon.

“We anticipate it to be the busiest day in the history of the park,” Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said.
