Glacial Boulder overview
Glacial Boulder
One of the main reasons to visit Glacial Boulder is to experience the power and impact of nature. The boulder weighs an estimated 600 tons and stands over 30 feet tall, making it a truly impressive sight. Visitors can marvel at the sheer size of the boulder and imagine the forces that brought it here.
In addition to its size, the Glacial Boulder is unique because of its composition. It is made of granite, a type of rock that is not commonly found in this area of Wyoming. This makes it a particularly interesting geological feature to observe and study.
Visitors to Glacial Boulder can also enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The boulder is situated in a picturesque meadow with sweeping views of the nearby mountains and forests. It is a peaceful and serene spot that offers an opportunity to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
To get to Glacial Boulder, visitors can take a short hike along a scenic trail that winds through the meadow. Along the way, they may spot wildlife such as elk, moose, or bison, adding to the immersive nature experience.
Overall, Glacial Boulder is a must-visit point of interest in Grand Teton National Park. Its impressive size, unique composition, and stunning natural surroundings make it a memorable and rewarding destination for visitors of all ages and interests.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
