These improvements will create opportunities for visitors to connect with the history and landscape in a meaningful way.” – Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Chip Jenkins.
The majority of improvements will happen in 2026 or later, though a few minor improvements may begin in summer 2025.
In the 1890s, mormon homesteaders established a community in what is now modern day Grand Teton National Park. “Mormon Row”, named Grovont by the U.S. Post Office, was originally made up of 27 homesteads.
