    GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK YOUNGEST RANGE IN THE ROCKIES the town of Moran. Others recognized that dudes winter better than cows and began operating dude ranches. 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. 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 Mt. Moran.

  • Chapter 3 – Community Profile
    Chapter 3: COMMUNITY PROFILE The Physical Environment, Socio-Economics and History of Fremont County Natural and technological hazards impact citizens, property, the environment and the economy of Fremont County. These hazards expose Fremont County residents, businesses and industries to financial and emotional costs. The risk associated with hazards increases as more people move into areas. This creates a need to develop strategies to reduce risk and loss of lives and property. Identifying risks posed by these hazards, and developing strategies to reduce the impact of a hazard event can assist in protecting life and property of citizens and communities. Physical / Environment Geology Much of Fremont County is made up of the 8,500 square mile Wind River Basin. This basin is typical of other large sedimentary and structural basins in the Rocky Mountain West. These basins were formed during the Laramide Orogeny from 135 to 38 million years ago. Broad belts of folded and faulted mountain ranges surround the basin. These ranges include the Wind River Range on the west, the Washakie Range and Owl Creeks and southern Big Horn Mountains on the north, the Casper Arch on the east, and the Granite Mountains on the south. The center of the basin is occupied by relatively un-deformed rocks of more recent age. Formations of every geologic age exist in Fremont County. These create an environment of enormous geologic complexity and diversity. The geology of Fremont County gives us our topography, mineral resources, many natural hazards and contributes enormously to our cultural heritage. Topography Fremont County is characterized by dramatic elevation changes.

Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them.
