Wyoming: Yellowstone & Grand Teton Family Adventure Trip Summary It’s the fourth day of your Yellowstone/Teton Family Adventure and never before have you heard so many “WOW”s bursting from the mouths of your kids. First it was the giant bull moose…then it was a mother wolf nursing a litter of four big-eared pups…then it was the Yellowstone River’s thundering 308-foot waterfall. Yellowstone & Teton National Parks are paradises for family adventure. Our expert guides create a secure and rewarding environment, full of challenge, accomplishment and fun. Combined with exceptional accommodations and classic dining, this adventure will WOW the whole family! The toughest part is going home.SM Wyoming: Yellowstone & Grand Teton Family Adventure Detailed Itinerary Day 1: Jackson Arrival | Grand Teton National Park | Yellowstone National Park Jackson Arrival: Welcome to Wyoming! Your guides will pick you up in the morning from your pre-trip hotel. Grand Teton National Park: Soak up the beauty of the iconic and picture-perfect Cathedral Group: Nez Perce, Middle Teton, Grand Teton, Mount Owen, and Teewinot as you explore the beauty of Grand Teton National Park. These jagged-toothed peaks soar 7,000 feet above the valley floor and are located on a fault line -- mountains the result of earthquakes. Grand Teton National Park is found just 10 miles south of Yellowstone National Park and comprises 310,000 acres including the Teton Range and most of the northern sections of Jackson Hole. String Lake to Moose Bike Ride: Bike about 10 miles from Grand Teton’s String Lake to the small community of Moose, where -- you guessed it -- moose are often spotted. Pedal along a paved path right underneath the Teton Range, enjoying every crevice and crag that you spot in the mountain range along the way. Transfer Time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes Yellowstone National Park: Welcome to Yellowstone, our world’s first national park! This famous national park is home to over 60% of the world’s geysers, which periodically erupt in towering explosions of boiling water and steam. And while these astounding phenomena and their neighboring technicolor hot springs and bubbling mud pots draw in the crowds, the surrounding canyons, mountains, forests, and wildlife are no less impressive. West Thumb Geyser Basin Boardwalk: Located along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb Geyser Basin is a hydrothermal area that stands out because of its dramatic lake and mountain backdrop. A boardwalk loops through an array of dynamic geysers and hot springs with names like Abyss Pool, Fishing Cone, and Lakeshore Geyser. Yellowstone Lake Overlook Trail Hike: This 1.7-mile lollipop loop trail begins at West Thumb Geyser Basin and ascends steeply into high mountain meadows, passing backcountry thermal features along the way. As you emerge from the surrounding forest, take in commanding views of the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake and the Absaroka Mountains in the distance. Gradually descend through meadows and forest. Accommodation: Grant Village (L,D) The toughest part is going home.SM Day 2: Old Faithful & Upper Geyser Basin Transfer Time: 1 Hour Artemisia Trail Hike: Most visitors to Old Faithful arrive via an overcrowded parking lot. Not us! We’ll hike in our secret “back way” to the park’s most famed feature. Along the way, we’ll pass a multitude of fascinating geothermal features including sky blue Artemisia Geyser, multi- colored Morning Glory Pool, and bubbling Grotto Geyser. Eventually we’ll happen upon Old Faithful, where we’ll be sure to catch a famous eruption. Old Faithful & Upper Geyser Basin Exploration: Discover the Upper Geyser Basin, home to the most famous geyser in the world, Old Faithful. Take some time to explore this area with your knowledgeable guide. Be sure to check out the Old Faithful Inn, the Visitor Center, and the boardwalks winding throughout the basin. Of course, we’ll catch an eruption of Old Faithful itself; this geyser puts on quite the show every ninety minutes or so! Transfer Time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes Accommodation: Canyon Lodge & Cabins (B,L,D) Day 3: Grand Canyon of Yellowstone Grand Canyon of Yellowstone: Carved by the wondrous force of the Yellowstone River, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone is a dramatic, 1,000-foot-deep canyon that dazzles visitors with its pastel rock walls and majestic waterfalls. From several vantage points, you can view Lower Falls plunging steeply into the canyon 308 feet, or the Upper Falls tumbling 109 feet. Wapiti Trail Hike: One of our favorite hikes in the area, Wapiti Trail, takes you 2.5 miles through the backcountry along the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Wind your way along wildflower- dotted meadows, under lodgepole pine forests, and through an off-the-grid geyser basin before emerging at the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River itself. Eventually, you’ll find yourself staring down the incredible 308-foot Lower Falls from a perfect viewpoint. Transfer Time: 2 Hours Accommodation: Jackson Lake Lodge (B,L,D) The toughest part is going home.SM Day 4: Jackson Lake | Moose | Jackson Jackson Lake Kayak: A kayaking excursion on Jackson Lake’s clear, calm waters is something you won’t soon forget. Mount Moran and the rest of the Teton Range seemingly rise straight out of the lake’s far shore, creating a mesmerizing image as you paddle your way along tree- covered peninsulas and rocky islands. This 2-3-hour paddle is relaxed and casual, perfect for beginners. Moose to Jackson Bike Ride: We begin this 15-mile, mostly flat bike ride in the small community of Moose, located in Grand Teton National Park. As we pedal along the designated bike path, keep an eye open to your right for deer and bighorn sheep on the high bluffs and on the fenced-in National Elk Refuge to your left for a wide array of birdlife and the occasional mammal. We end our ride at our next accommodation. Jackson Hole: The region of Jackson Hole is made up of the Grand Teton valley including the town of Jackson, Teton Village, Wilson, the Aspens, Moran Junction, Moose and surrounding locations. The name was originally Jackson’s Hole, the “hole” describing the flat valley surrounded by mountains. The charming town of Jackson, the famous hub, is a little bit country and a little bit modern chic with some fun restaurants, bars, and boutiques. Night on Your Own: Enjoy a night on your own this evening for dinner. Your guides will give you restaurant options to choose from in the area and will provide ideas on things to do on your own time. Alternatively, feel free to just relax tonight after a wonderful activity-filled day! Accommodation: Rustic Inn (B,L) The toughest part is going home.SM Day 5: Teton Village | Snake River Teton Village to Jackson Bike Ride: We begin this mostly flat 12-mile bike ride in Teton Village, home to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Our paved bike path takes us through aspen meadows, past quaint shops and restaurants, over the Snake River, and eventually through neighborhoods and pasture lands into the town of Jackson. Snake River Raft: Get ready to get wet rafting some of Wyoming's finest whitewater through the scenic Snake River Canyon! The Snake River is born out of the Yellowstone National Park backcountry and grows as it winds its way through Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, and eventually the Snake River Canyon. You’ll travel 8 river miles from start to finish and will encounter about 8 sets of rapids ranging from class I and II to class III. Accommodation: Rustic Inn (B,L,D) Day 6: Teton Village / Jackson Departure Bridger Gondola & Hike: Take a ride up the Bridger Gondola at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to experience the high alpine terrain of the Tetons. This 12-minute ride in a safe and private gondola cabin whisks you over 2,700 vertical feet above the valley floor. Take a walk among wildflower meadows, taking in sweeping views of Grand Teton National Park from up high, before riding the gondola back down to the base. Jackson Departure: Your guides will shuttle you back to Jackson to get ready for your departure home. Accommodation: (B) *Trip itineraries are subject to change without notice due to road, weather and other factors outside of our control, for the safety and enjoyment of our guests, as deemed necessary and appropriate by Austin Adventures. The toughest part is going home.SM Wyoming: Yellowstone & Grand Teton Family Adventure Distinctive Accommodation Grant Village - 1 night(s) The six two-story buildings of Grant Village, named after Ulysses S.

    Glacial Surface Area Change in Grand Teton National Park Jake Edmunds

    Glacial Surface Area change in Grand Teton National Park Jake Edmunds Meriden, Wyoming Glenn Tootle Civil and Architectural Enginnering _________________________________ Introduction: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climatic Change (IPCC) reported that a consensus exists among scientists and policy makers that “…the globally averaged net effect of human activities since 1750 has been one of warming…” (IPCC, 2007). The objective of the proposed research is to investigate glacial change in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). Remote sensing data was obtained for the GTNP and a preliminary analysis of glacier area change was performed. Since the glaciated regions of GTNP have not been intensely studied in the past, it is essential to understand the past behaviors of the glaciers in the region. This study aims to create a database of quantitative information for the glaciers in GTNP such that future observations may be compared to past observations in an attempt to identify any long term trends of glacier behavior. The research aimed to document glacial surface area change for selected glaciers in the Teton Mountain Range via analysis of aerial photographs (preliminary analysis). Aerial photographs were obtained from the USGS Earth Resources Observation & Science (EROS) Data Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Each image will be analyzed with a photogrammetric (the process of obtaining quantitative information from photographs) approach. The proposed approach involves digitizing and georeferencing each photo using ArcGIS. Once the georeferencing process is performed each glacier can be delineated using an unsupervised classification. Areas of snow and ice tend to have distinct reflectance values in aerial photographs, thus those areas can be delineated using an unsupervised classification.

    Grand Teton National Park News Release

    National Park Service Grand Teton PO Box 170 U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Moose, Wyoming 83012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jackie Skaggs/307.739.3393 January 08, 2010 10-01 Grand Teton National Park News Release Environmental Assessment Available for Public Review on Site Work for Grand Teton National Park Headquarters Rehabilitation Project Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott announced today that the Moose Headquarters Rehabilitation Site Work Environmental Assessment (EA) is now available for public review. This EA will be open to review for 30 days, from January 11 through February 9, 2010. The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to perform site improvements that are designed to enhance visitor services and address employee health and safety deficiencies at Grand Teton National Park’s headquarters area in Moose, Wyoming. The site work would restructure vehicle/pedestrian access points, promote better traffic flow, reduce user-created trails and consolidate pedestrian walkways, and improve way-finding throughout the Moose headquarters complex. The purpose of the proposal is to upgrade and improve conditions in a way that enhances visitors’ experiences while providing a safe, healthy, and functional working/living environment for park employees and their families. The NPS preferred alternative involves the reconfiguration of vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the park administrative area and the Moose river landing access, the removal of several temporary buildings, and restoration work targeted at providing appropriate stormwater management. The proposed improvements are designed to increase visitor and employee safety, refine parking and traffic flow patterns, reduce the built environment, and improve water quality while still preserving the character of the area and protecting natural and cultural resources.

    Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned

    Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams Out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned Michael J. Yochim Abstract Between 1919 and 1938 irrigation interests in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming repeatedly tried to construct reservoirs in Yellowstone National Park by damming several large park lakes and Bechler Meadows. Conservationists of the time joined forces with Horace Albright and Steven Mather of the National Park Service to oppose the dams. Ultimately successful in all their efforts, their key victory came in 1923 when they defeated an attempt to dam Yellowstone Lake. This victory reversed the loss of protected status for national parks that had occurred just ten years earlier at Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. By chronicling the protracted conflict over dams in Yellowstone, I illustrate that the conservationists (including Mather and Albright) reestablished the funda- mental preservation policy of the national parks and empowered the newly cre- ated National Park Service to carry out its mission of park protection. This effort was the key battle in proving national parks and wilderness to be inviolate to industrial, exploitive uses. Conservationists both defined and tested the inviolate policy in Yellowstone; their battles in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon cemented it into place. Introduction Far off, there lies a lovely lake Which rests in beauty, there to take Swift pictures of the changing sky, Ethereal blues, and clouds piled high. When black the sky, when fall the rains, When blow fierce winds, her face remains Still beautiful, but agitate, Nor mirrors back their troubled state. Within a park this treasure lies, — Such region ne’er did man devise — The hand of Mighty God, alone, Could form the Park of Yellowstone.

The JY and the Bar BC were established in 1908 and 1912, respectively. By the 1920s, dude ranch- ing made significant contributions to the valley’s economy. At this time some local residents real- ized that scenery and wildlife (especially elk) were valuable resources to be conserved rather than exploited. Evolution of a Dream 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 senti- ments in Jackson Hole that nearly derailed estab- lishment of the park. By contrast, Yellowstone National Park benefited from an expedient and near universal agreement for its creation in 1872.

    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.

    Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing

    Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing WINTER 2~03 VOLUME 19 NUMBER I Trout Memories and Pike Tales caught and released my first trout in April 1989 on the Beaverlull. My memory of this is pretty good, I think, Ialthough it's not as vivid as perhaps it should be. I know the date because my husband saved the black stonefly nymph and framed it in a shadowbox-an act of historical documentation close to the date of the actual event. When we lived in the D.C. area, we'd sometimes drive up to Big Hunting Creek, a favorite haunt of my high school days. I must have occasionally caught fish there, but I can't remember any particular fish. Maybe I didn't catch any. What I remember is being happy on the familiar creek, away from the city. What if I did vividly remember these fishing trips? Would I be right in their detail? How much of memory is what actual- ly happened, and how much of it is remembering the story we tell ourselves about what happened? How do the details change over time? Paul Schullery was doing a lot of fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park thirty years ago when he first began reading By noting the first published claim of pike not taking the about the sport's history. On the must-read list was Edward R. artificial fly as bait (Robert Venables, The Experience'd Angler, Hewitt, who, it turned out, had written quite the account of 1662), Frederick Buller makes the argument that people have fishing the park in the early 1880s.

    Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak

    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S. Keller were introduced to American Indian tribes in the 1600s, Native American visits to Yellowstone became more frequent.
