Grand Teton National Park NATURE AND WILDLIFE Located in northwestern Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park protects stunning mountain scenery and a diverse array of wildlife. Rising more than 7,000 feet above the valley of Jackson Hole, the Teton Range dominates the park's skyline. Natural processes continue to shape the ecosystem against this impressive and iconic backdrop.  It seems that wildlife is never far away in Grand Teton National Park. High in the mountains, a yellow-bellied marmot whistles a warning as a golden eagle soars above. Searching for insect larvae, a black bear rips into a rotten lodgepole pine log. On the valley floor, a herd of bison graze as a coyote trots among the sagebrush, looking for a meal. Along the Snake River, an osprey dives into the water with talons extended, rising with a cutthroat trout. In a nearby meadow, a moose browses the tender buds of willows that grow in this water-rich environment. PARK HISTORY The original Grand Teton National Park, set aside by an act of Congress in 1929, included only the Teton Range and six glacial lakes at the base of the mountains. The Jackson Hole National Monument, decreed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt through presidential proclamation in 1943, combined Teton National Forest acreage, other federal properties including Jackson Lake and a generous 35,000-acre donation by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The Rockefeller lands continued to be privately held until December 16, 1949 when impasse for addition to the national park was resolved.  o On September 14, 1950, the original 1929 Park and the 1943 National Monument (including Rockefeller's donation) were united into a "new" Grand Teton National Park, creating present-day boundaries. LODGING OPPORTUNITIES (Links to lodging for Grand Teton National Park) Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch Located a mere three miles south of Jenny Lake and four miles north of the Park Headquarters in Moose, the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch offers the most affordable and accessible lodging for individuals visiting Grand Teton National Park. Formerly the Double Diamond Ranch, the AAC was granted a concessionaire's permit in 1970 to operate the Climbers' Ranch to provide mountaineers and their families with overnight accommodations without the congestion and time limitations of public campgrounds.
