The drive

It is 53.5 miles and about an hour, with mostly gentle curves and 3,500 feet of climb. Togwotee Pass is the most direct route to Grand Teton National Park from eastern Wyoming.

The pass is one of Wyoming's snowiest. Annual snowfall often exceeds 25 feet, and blizzards can shut the road for days.
