Mountains of Imagination is a very fitting name for the Tetons mountains. The national park was established in 1920 and then again in 1950. The park now consists of 310,000 acres. The Tetons mountain range is the youngest mountains of the Rocky Mountains and in fact the whole world. Eight peaks towering above 12,000 feet exist within the park. The highest peak, the Grand Teton, rises 13,770 feet above sea level. We have now seen the park in the fall and in the spring. I would like to come one time in the winter to see all of the snow! They get over 175 inches in the valley and 400+ in the mountains!
Jackson/Jackson Hole is the valley and town between the mountains and the river. It is a great place for wildlife, skiing, and the Elk Refuge. The town is really interesting to see ,and we even took time to go to the Jackson Hole rodeo!
