PUBLIC LANDS -- The MoreThanJustParks film team that's been capturing the moods of national parks in short videos has released its latest episode this month featuring Grand Teton National Park.

GRAND TETON 8K (below) is the culmination of nearly a month spent filming in the spectacular Jackson Hole Valley and the foothills of the Teton Mountain Range.
 
The project started by brothers and filmmakers Will Pattiz & Jim Pattiz, founders of Sea Raven Media to share the glory of the parks with a wide audience.
 
Grand Teton National Park is a prime attraction encompassing nearly 500 square miles of pristine wilderness, glacial lakes, winding rivers, diverse wildlife and the magnificent Teton Range.

Other videos in the series so far feature Acadia National Park,  Zion National Park, Smoky Mountains National Park, Redwoods National Park, Joshua Tree National Park,  Badlands National Park, and Olympic National Park.
