Grand Tetons National Park

The remainder of our day was spent driving through Grand Tetons National Park. It was first designated as a national park in 1929 and through the vision and generous donations of John D. Rockerfeller, Jr, additional lands were added in 1950 to create the present-day park. People have lived in the shadow of the Teton Range for more than 11,000 years beginning with prehistoric American Indians, to the early Euro-American explorers, to the frontier settlers. It covers 310,000 acres and includes the 40 miles of the Grand Teton Range. We ended our day in Jackson Hole, WY.
