The Mountain View Turnout is a scenic viewpoint located off Teton Park Road a short distance east of the North Jenny Lake Junction in Grand Teton National Park. This location is surrounded by sagebrush and offers sweeping views of the Tetons including Mount Moran and Mount Saint John. Parking lot here can accommodate about 20 vehicles plus there are 5 spots for RV parking. The turnout is handicap accessible.

This Mountain View Turnout has an informational sign that explains how earthquakes along the 40-mile Teton fault created the mountain range and the Jackson Hole valley less than 10 million years ago.

There are no amenities at the Mountain View Turnout. Small wedding ceremonies can be held at this location with a permit. The Teton Park Road closed from November to the end of April. Since the Mountain View Turnout is located within Teton National Park an entrance fee is required.
