Printed on Recycled Paper Photo by DavidBowersPhotography.com Since 1963 IN GRAND TETON NAtiONAL PARK When you book a Barker-Ewing Grand Teton Park Scenic Float Trip, you’ll float with the best. Way back in 1963, local river runner Dick Barker pioneered the ten-mile float trip from Deadman’s Bar to Moose on the wild and scenic Snake River through the heart of Grand Teton National Park. Within a few short years, Dick’s single raft could no longer accommodate the Dick Barker demand. So he joined forces with outfitter Frank Ewing to create Barker-Ewing Float Trips, and the company earned a lasting reputation for operating safe, high-quality interpretive raft trips in the National Park and the Snake River Canyon. In 1985, the partnership was divided into two separate family businesses: Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips and Barker-Ewing Whitewater. Now entering our 57th season, Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips remains the gold standard in scenic rafting, and is proud to be an Official Concessioner of Grand Teton National Park.

  • CREATION of GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK (A Thumbnail History)
    CREATION OF GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK (A Thumbnail History) The birth of present-day Grand Teton National Park involved controversy and a struggle that lasted several decades. Animosity toward expanding governmental control and a perceived loss of individual freedoms fueled anti-park sentiments in Jackson Hole that nearly derailed establishment of the park. By contrast, Yellowstone National Park benefited from an expedient and near universal agreement for its creation in 1872. The world’s first national park took only two years from idea to reality; however Grand Teton National Park evolved through a burdensome process requiring three separate governmental acts and a series of compromises. • The original Grand Teton National Park, set aside by an act of Congress in 1929, included only the Teton Range and six glacial lakes at the base of the mountains. • The Jackson Hole National Monument, decreed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt through presidential proclamation in 1943, combined Teton National Forest acreage, other federal properties including Jackson Lake and a generous 35,000-acre donation by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The Rockefeller lands continued to be privately held until December 16, 1949 when impasse for addition to the national park was resolved. • On September 14, 1950, the original 1929 Park and the 1943 National Monument (including Rockefeller’s donation) were united into a “new” Grand Teton National Park, creating present-day boundaries. As early as 1897, Colonel S.B.M. Young, acting Superintendent of Yellowstone, proposed to expand Yellowstone’s boundaries southward to encompass portions of northern Jackson Hole and protect migrating elk herds. In 1898 Charles D.
