Hiking/kayaking/fishing/climbing the Tetons are the best. Trails are more crowded than Yellowstone though.
Wildlife is better in Yellowstone, plus if you like geysers/springs/etc, though there are some nice hikes around Canyon and theyre usually empty.

You should do both it you can.

Disagree. Yellowstone has way better fishing. Slough, Soda Butte, Lamar, Firehole, gibbon, Madison, yellowstone, gardiner, Gallatin, Bechler all world class fisheries that Tetons cant match

Yellowstone is much larger and thus has a wider variety trails than Tetons from wide open range, to MT peaks to hiking thru thermal areas...tetons are much better climbing but thats it

Kayaking? well you cant kayak the rivers in either park but paddling yellowstone is pretty kino...its like paddling Jenny lake...but bigger lol.

I've been to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton three times and I'm going back next fall. Grand Teton is definitely more striking and awe-inducing but Yellowstone is nothing to scoff at and has all its own amazing things in it. Took this pic at Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton.

They are technically 10 miles from border to border but these parks are massive. To get from the heart of Teton to the heart of Yellowstone is indeed a 2-3 hour trip.

The only river of note in GTNP is the Snake which you are allowed to paddle. The rest is just lakes like Yellowstone. Paddling Yellowstone lake is superior to anything in GT.

As for the hiking quality Tetons have higher peaks, and (again) in my opinion the mountains there are far more visually striking. It depends (again) what you're into.

You also read a sentence that explicitly included two criteria, then tried to say that the point was "purely dependent" on only one of those criteria. That's top tier retard posting
