As plowing operations get underway, recreation on the snow-packed trail will cease for the 2010/11 winter season. Park visitors may continue to use other winter trails, or areas adjacent to the Teton Park Road, for skate skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing until snow conditions are no longer favorable for such activities.

Known as Menor's Ferry, the pontoon craft played a vital role in providing safe transport for passengers over the swift-flowing Snake River during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Rockefeller Preserve, others simply know it as the Preserve, but whatever you call it, visitors to Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park will come to know it as some of the most breathtaking country in America, and it's now part of the nation's National Parks System.

The Preserve, approximately 1,100 acres of majestic, natural beauty southeast of Phelps Lake, is a gift from the late Laurance S. Rockefeller to the citizens of the United States and the world.

Built in 1961, the original visitor center near the park's headquarters in Moose, Wyoming had been a growing concern for park officials who noted that the building's age, increasing numbers of visitors and infrastructure issues were becoming too serious to ignore anymore.
