In late May, as Jenny Lake’s shores finally began to see significant snow melt, park staff, project engineers, and a helicopter team descended on the area to kick off 2014’s construction season for an exciting multi-year project: Inspiring Journeys: A Campaign for Jenny Lake.
This $16.4 million public-private collaboration between Grand Teton National Park and Grand Teton National Park Foundation will transform Grand Teton’s most popular destination by creating an outdoor interpretive plaza and greatly improving trails and iconic features such as Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. Inspiring Journeys will commemorate the National Park Service centennial in 2016.
We hope you enjoy this first glimpse of the action…check back soon for more updates on this and other Foundation-funded projects in Grand Teton.
