And in 1903 President Theodore Roosevelt rec- ognized that the killing off of predators— in this instance mountain lions—has a deleterious effect upon their prey (elk and deer) and ordered it stopped. (Wolves, however, were exterminated in the park and were, in 1995, reintroduced, restoring that essential component of wild creatures belonging there.) Eventually, in 1916, Congress established the National Park Service, whose purpose and management philosophy are worth being re- minded of: “The Service thus established shall pro- mote and regulate the use of Federal areas known as parks, monuments, and restorations hereinafter specified by such means and measures as conform to the fundamental pur- pose of said parks, monuments and reserva- tions, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” As you visit Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, the six national forests, wildlife refuges, and the private lands surrounding it, comprising what has become known as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), you will experience today’s snapshot. Nature is dynamic. The park is always chang- ing, albeit within those directives. It responds to fires, droughts, climate change, and to varying views on how best to manage facili- ties and its animals and fish. Need I mention political pressures? Them too.

  • GRAND TETON National Park
    Nationale Parken van Amerika @ www.ontdek-amerika.nl Last Update : 12 augustus 2015 GRAND TETON National Park KORTE OMSCHRIJVING Grootte : 1.255 vierkante kilometer Nationaal park sinds : 14 september 1950 Laagste punt : 1.935 meter (zuidgrens) Hoogste punt : 4.198 meter (piek van Grand Teton) De Grand Teton Mountains vormen een van de jongste bergketens van Noord-Amerika. Er zijn 12 pieken die hoger zijn dan 3650 meter; de hoogste is Grand Teton met een top van 4.198 meter. Het gebergte is ontstaan naast een breuklijn in de aarde; aan de westzijde van de breuklijn werd de aarde omhooggedrukt, aan de oostzijde zakte de aarde juist naar beneden. De 130 kilometer lange Teton Range heeft dan ook geen voorgebergte, de bergen rijzen direct naast de vloer van de vallei omhoog. Nog maar 15.000 jaar geleden hebben gletsjers de canyons tussen de bergpieken geslepen. De tongen van de gletsjers hebben ook de vallei bereikt, waardoor zich veel mooie meren hebben gevormd. De Jackson Hole vallei is 72 kilometer lang en 10 tot 20 kilometer breed, en er leven hier erg veel vogels en wilde dieren, waaronder zwarte beren, grizzlyberen, elanden, prairiewolven enzovoort. In het park worden erg veel activiteiten georganiseerd op het gebied van watersport, winter- sport, bergsport ed. Maar ook voor de toerist die vooral komt voor mooie uitkijkpunten en eenvoudige natuurwandelingen heeft het park veel te bieden BEREIKBAARHEID Het park ligt in het noordwesten van de staat Wyoming, 11 mijl onder Yellowstone National Park. Er zijn drie ingangen die aan hoofdwegen liggen, en er is één ingang die aan een kleine toegangsweg ligt.
