THE CHAPEL OF THE
TRANSFIGURATION
Grand Teton National Park
(Wyoming)

The Chapel of the Transfiguration
is one of the few national park
churches that opened prior to the
establishment of its park. Originally
constructed to serve the workers
and visitors of the increasingly
popular dude ranches that sprang
up in the area at the turn of the
century, the church opened in 1925
and was incorporated into the Grand
Teton National Park when the park
was established four years later.
The chapel is the epitome of
the perfect frontier church. A log-
cabin-style structure, this rustic
building blends a quaint charm with
sweeping views of the Grand Teton
Mountains, and it has become
a mandatory stop for almost all
visitors to the park. The Chapel of
the Transfiguration is a part of the
Episcopal Church, which still owns
and runs it from the parish in nearby
Jackson. As a national park site it is
open to visitors of all faiths.
