It started with a view. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. hiked to the top of a small knoll and gazed out upon the sea of willows and towering mountain range stretched across the valley. Elk and moose grazed down below. Clouds drifted by, some bringing thunderstorms, others breezing along. There, Rockefeller ate lunch and took [...]

Nature greets the arrival of spring as enthusiastically as we do, and celebrates it with a festival of color. Even Grand Teton’s sub-zero winters and blinding snowstorms eventually yield to the pink earthly stars of the Spring Beauty, and gigantic yellow flowering Arrowleaf Balsam Root.

“Imagine…no roads, no buildings, and no electricity – land as far as the eye can see – jagged mountains on the east and west horizons – and big game dotting the valley floor. The year is 1850, the air is crisp, and the snow blankets the valley. Elk surround you, their breath condensing in [...]

Several days a week, I find myself trekking to the top of Signal Mountain for some post-work therapy. The journey is equally rewarding as the destination. The climb to the summit is through Douglas firs, aspens, meadows, ponds, and several overlooks of the Tetons and Jackson Lake. Waterfowl and wildlife grace the area, and [...]
