Video of the Indian Arts Museum, Colter Bay Visitor Center – Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming
©2010 John Wanserski for Creative Juice LLC
The Tetons first received government protection in 1897 when Congress created the Teton Forest Reserve. In 1929, the central peaks of the Teton Range and a half dozen lakes at their base officially became Grand Teton National Park. By 1950 the original 1929 park was united with the 1943 Jackson Hole National Monument to create the present day 485 square mile park. The Tetons, rising abruptly from the floor of the Snake River Valley, are fault block mountains with their origin about 13 million years ago. Elk and pronghorn antelope make annual migrations through the park. Moose are seen around the Snake River wetlands and mountain lakes. Black bear and grizzlies roam the mountain slopes and wooded lake shores. The park has five campgrounds and 200 miles of trails to explore. The Colter Bay Visitor Center houses the Indian Arts Museum.Map of Grand Tetons National Park (PDF file)
