Grand Teton National Park
Mountains of the Imagination
Rising above a scene rich with
extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes,
and alpine terrain, the
Teton Range stands monument to the
people who fought to protect it.
These are mountains of the imagination.
Mountains that led to the creation of
Grand Teton National Park where you
can explore over two hundred miles
of trails, float the Snake River or
enjoy the serenity
of this remarkable place.
Humans and the Teton Landscape:
11,000 years of history in 1,100 words
The human history of Jackson Hole and the
Teton Range dates back thousands of years.
The stunning beauty and abundant wildlife
and plants found here has drawn
humans to this place for
more than 11,000 years.
Nomadic paleo-Indians first entered
the Jackson Hole valley shortly after
Pleistocene Ice Age glaciers retreated.
They left behind tipi rings,
fire pits and stone tools.
Summers were a time of abundance, and
modern-day Indian tribes came to harvest
bulbs and berries, fish the lakes and streams,
and hunt wildlife.
With the approach of the harsh winter,
indigenous people followed their prey
out of the valley in search of milder weather.
With increased visitation, the park also saw
the need to expand visitor services.
As the National Park Service approached its
50th anniversary in 1966, visitor centers were built
at Colter Bay and Moose in the late 1950s to provide
information and offer ranger activities
as part of the Mission 66 program.
Adventure has always
drawn people to this area.
No one knows who first climbed the
Grand Teton.
American Indians built an enclosure at 13,280'
on a sub-peak of the 13,770' tall Grand Teton.
Although members of the 1872 Hayden Expedition
claimed to have reached the summit, William Owen,
Franklin Spalding, John Shive and Frank Peterson
made the first documented summit in 1898.
Many followed in the footsteps. Paul Petzoldt
and Glen Exum established the first
guide service in 1931, which still operates
today as Exum Mountain Guides.
Today over 90 different routes and variations
lead to the summit of the Grand Teton.
Today, all of the Teton peaks lure
climbers with the skills necessary for a summit.
This majestic place inspired and
sustained people for thousands of years.

The Residents of Moose Wilson Road
I always seem to end up on this road every evening on my way back into Jackson and it never fails to have something of interest...The beavers are always so much fun to watch...They will stop and look at all of us standing on the bank...as if to say...why are you just standing their...we have so much work to do... The moose are always a treat to see, especially with the young...but the Great Gray is the icing on the cake...so rare.. they always draw a hugh crowd.
The Laurance S. Rockefeller Visitor Center
Not a lot of words, not a lot of decoration. The Visitor Center is a celebration of nature. As you turn the corner from the entrance, you are greeted with this dimmed room of 4 nature portrait videos. Each shows a changing display of nature scenes, highlighted only by the sounds it depicts. The only other object in the room is a light mural, a large mural of the mountains reflected in a lake. The mural is comprised of thousands of smaller photos of nature. A completely beautiful presentation. If you turn up the audio, you can hear the sounds. What a perfect way to introduce people to this place and the beautiful things they'll see and hear here. As LSR said: Nature quiets the mind by engaging an intelligence larger than our own.

Grand Teton National Park Drive (Time Lapse) 4K Ultra HD
I missed the opportunity to visit this park prior to the road trip. The pictures I saw of the mountain range drove me (literally) to make sure I visit it! The park and those mountains sure delivered.
We entered from the south entrance on the U.S. Route 191. From there we stopped at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center to learn more about the park. Afterwards, we took Teton Park Rd to the Jenny Lake Visitor Center where we hiked over 8 miles!!! We continued up the road to the John D Rockefeller Jr. Pkwy where we had a view of Jackson Lake before heading to the Yellowstone National Park South Entrance.
We hope you enjoy the video and the music included!

Information about the park:
Wikipedia:
Grand Teton National Park is an American national park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. Grand Teton National Park is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding national forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the world's largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems.
The human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first white explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s.
Efforts to preserve the region as a national park began in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the Teton Range's major peaks. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any American national park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
