Being this close to Yellowstone, comparing the two is inevitable I suppose and really unfair to Grand Teton. Yellowstone is one of the premier parks of the National Park system. But Grand Teton is part of the Yellowstone ecosystem and you wil not be able to tell by the scenry when you leave one park and enter the other (the park enterance signs tell you). In fact, if Grand Teton had not been privately owned when Yellowstone was made our first national park by Congress, Grand Teton would possibly be part of Yellowstone Natl Park today. The mountains of Teton are stunning, but difficult to photograph collectively at once. I have seen more moose in Grand Teton than I have in Yellowstone. But the lodges in Grand Teton are sometimes a little pricey or inadequate. I probably would stay in Jackson or Hatchet Resort. But if you find the Teton Park Road and drive it early in the morning or late in the evening, you most certainly find wildlife photo opportunities galore. I have attached some of several dozen pictures we took of a female moose and her calf. I also have seen wolves near the roadway here. Grand Teton is worth your time, it is beautiful and has more than its share of wildlife. I totally disagree with the negative review that was most recently posted here, it is well worth your time and effort to see and enjoy.

There are some nice scenic hikes, a few lakes and some limited wildlife viewing. We stayed in park for 4 days, after 4 days in Yellowstone.

Some of the so called "attractions" are nothing more than tourist traps.

In my opinion, GTNP and YSNP worth a ONE visit, and that is mainly for geological points of Yellowstone.

Considering the travel expense and flight time from California, we take any island of Hawaii any day, for their truely unique nature, and visitor-friendly people.

We spent four days at Grand Teton (Jackson Lake Lodge, review posted) and absolutely fell in love with it. Going to Yellowstone afterwards was more "interesting" but less satisfying in many ways. Grand Teton is just simply gorgeous and while there aren't as many "attractions" as Yellowstone, there is so much to see, do and so much to enjoy that I wish we had had a couple more days.
Other than the requisite float trip on the Snake River and Horseback Riding, we filled our days with the boat across Jenny Lake and the hike to Inspiration Point which was fantastic (our 9 year old made it only half way but our 11 year old led the way for me up to the Point). We also went on various other smaller hikes.
One of our favorite days there was a trip we took out of the park to the area of the Gros Ventre landslide. This has to be seen to be believed. Find Antelope Flats Road and take it out through buffalo filled fields and fantastic scenery and follow the signs to the short trail at Gros Ventre. It was so "off the beaten path" and so beautiful that we all loved it. We also drove through the Teton pass from Jackson Hole into Idaho and then back which was just gorgeous.
This place is almost paradise. Yellowstone is more unique and there's more "to do" but coming back through Grand Teton on our way to the airport in Jackson was like coming home. If you're going to Yellowstone, make sure you spend at least two or three days in GT, you won't regret it.
