There is no need for Americans to go abroad for mountain climbing. They have their own "Alps" in the Teton mountains, the greater part of which are included in Grand Teton National Park. Approximately 150 square miles in area, the park lies 11 miles south of Yellowstone National Park, very near to the western border of Wyoming. It is reached by the Union Pacific railroad at Victor, Ida. just across the border, from which point excellent motor bus service is available for exploring the area. Even the most experienced travelers confess that the rugged beauties of the Teton mountains come to them as a distinct revelation when they see them for the first time. So delightful are the practically limitless recreational facilities of the park that many come back year after year, to camp, fish, swim, ride or hike beside the lakes and through the mountains. In addition to its sublime peaks and canyons, Grand Teton National Park includes six large lakes and many smaller bodies of water, glaciers and snowfields, and extensive forests of pine, fir, spruce, Cottonwood and aspen. However, much of the park is above timberline (10,500 feet above sea level), and the Tetons rise from 3,000 to more than 7,000 above the floor of the famous Jackson Hole. The great array of peaks which con stitutes the scenic climax of this national park is alpine in the truest sense. Southwest of Jenny Lake is a culminating group of lofty peak whose dominating figure is the Grand Teton, the famous mountain after which the park takes its name. It is 13,766 feet high. The clustered, tapering spires tower aloft to a height of thousands of feet and are hung with g snowfields. However, all the major peaks can be climbed by persons desiring to do so under competent guidance. Grand Teton park is one of the newest, having been created In 1929. Yet, it Is remarkably rich in historic associations, and the country was f am ous, or infamous, because of the use of Jackson Hole m a refuge for outlaws, during the early days of the west.
