The Grand Teton National Park is open all year long with the exception of Christmas day. The only available places available to stay inside of the park in October are camping sites. I would recommend staying within the nearby town of Jackson. Travelocity has a lot of great deals for hotels in Jackson. You can search their website by going to: http://www.travelocity.com.

Rangers usually work 40 hours a week with frequent overtime and
