Bridger-Teton National Forest Wyoming Tourism

Much of the spectacular country you travel through in northwestern Wyoming is within this national forest. It stretches from the Grand Teton National Park in the West to the beginning of Shoshone National Forest and is neighbor to the Continental Divide, which runs vertically through this region.

Bridger/Teton National Forest was named for the Teton Mountain range and Jim Bridger, the mountain man, explorer and fur trapper. With over three million acres this national forest is one of the most impressive and well-managed forests you’ll experience during your travels and is the second largest National Forest outside Alaska.

There are various things to see and do here with the abundant wildlife, beautiful scenery and recreational opportunities.

The Teton division was established on July 1, 1908. The Bridger division was established by President Theodore Roosevelt on June 13, 1911. On July 1, 1973 these two national forests merged into one.
