The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied of the U.S. Government. PREFACE The Yellowstone-Jackson Hole-Star Valley corridor is located within the seismically and tectonically active Intermountain Seismic Belt in westernmost Wyoming and eastern Idaho. The corridor has the highest seismic hazard in the Intermountain U.S. based on the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Hazard Maps. The region contains the heavily visited Yellowstone and Teton National Parks and the rapidly growing areas of Jackson Hole and Star Valley. Although there has only been one large earthquake in this region in historical times (1959 moment magnitude [M] 7.5 Hebgen Lake), abundant geologic evidence exists for the past occurrence of surface-faulting earthquakes of M 7 or greater.

Pierce u.s. Geolo:.:Jical. Survey Denver, co Steven M. Colman u.s. Geological Survey Woods Hole, M A Obj::ctives The Teton fault is one of the moot active normal faults in the world, as attested by the precipitous high front of the Teton Range. After deglaciation of northern Jackson Hole arout 15,000 years ago (Parter and others, 1983), offset on the Teton fault eouthwest of Jackoon Lake has tntaled 19-24 m (60-80 feet) (Gilbert and others, 1983). In less than the last 9 million years, offset on the Teton fault has tntaled from 7,500 to 9,000 meters (Love and Reed, 1971). Figure 1 shows how downdropping on the Teton fault results in tilting of Jacks::>n HoJe towards the fault. Submerged paJ.eoohorel:ines of Jackoon Lake may record this downdropping and tilt because the level of Jackoon Lake is controlled by both the furtui.tous ,{X)Sition of the Jake ootlet and the immediate downstream course of the Snake River (Figure 1). The ootlet of Jackson Lake is 12 km east of the fault and from there the Snake River has a very low gradient to a bedrock threshold 6 km further east. Thus the level of Jackson Lake is controlled by the bed of the river east of the hinge line of tiJ.ting (Figure 1). The postglacial history of movement on the Teton fault may thus be recorded by paJ.eoohorelines submerged OOJ.ow the level of the pre-dam Jake.

    Exploring Grand Teton National Park

    05 542850 Ch05.qxd 1/26/04 9:25 AM Page 107 5 Exploring Grand Teton National Park Although Grand Teton National Park is much smaller than Yel- lowstone, there is much more to it than just its peaks, a dozen of which climb to elevations greater than 12,000 feet. The park’s size— 54 miles long, from north to south—allows visitors to get a good look at the highlights in a day or two. But you’d be missing a great deal: the beautiful views from its trails, an exciting float on the Snake River, the watersports paradise that is Jackson Lake. Whether your trip is half a day or 2 weeks, the park’s proximity to the town of Jackson allows for an interesting trip that combines the outdoors with the urbane. You can descend Grand Teton and be living it up at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar or dining in a fine restaurant that evening. The next day, you can return to the peace of the park without much effort at all. 1 Essentials ACCESS/ENTRY POINTS Grand Teton National Park runs along a north-south axis, bordered on the west by the omnipresent Teton Range. Teton Park Road, the primary thoroughfare, skirts along the lakes at the mountains’ base. From the north, you can enter the park from Yellowstone National Park, which is linked to Grand Teton by the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway (U.S. Hwy. 89/191/287), an 8-mile stretch of highway, along which you might see wildlife through the trees, some still bare and black- ened from the 1988 fires.

Goats are not permitted due to the sensitivity of the local bighorn sheep population. Stock users share trails with hikers— please be considerate of other trail users. Many trails are rocky and traverse steep terrain. High country trails may remain blocked by snow and impassable to stock until late July. Please refrain from accessing trails that are overly muddy. Check with the park permits office (307) 739-3309 prior to setting out. Many horse travelers camp in the adjoining national forest land and take day rides in the park.
