THE CHAPEL OF THE TRANSFIGURATION Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming) stjohnsjackson.diowy.org 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.
