WELCOME to the Yellow Cat Explore Series. In this guide to Grand Teton National Park, we’ll give you the basics, and after making sure you can find your way around the park, have a place to stay, as well as food and gas (and bear spray), we’ll help you truly explore the park’s geology, history, prehistory, wildlife, plants, and people.
For example, do you know why the Tetons have no foothills, which is part of why they’re so dramatic looking? They’re very young mountains that were created over the past 10 million years by hundreds of 7.0 earthquakes along the still-active Teton Fault. Each quake typically pushed the mountains up an average of two to three feet, while dropping the valley of Jackson Hole an average of six feet. And did you know that Jackson Hole was once covered in 2,000 to 3,000 feet of ice?
Our guide has lots of interesting facts you won’t find elsewhere. Join us in exploring the beautiful Tetons!
