Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
If you’ve spent time in the National Park System, you’ve seen a mix of conditions in terms of a park’s infrastructure. Some are in great condition, some not so great. Recently my wife and I had the opportunity to stop by Grand Teton National Park and the Jenny Lake area. The trails that lead around the lake and up onto the flanks of the Tetons are in wonderful condition. But it wasn’t always so.
The drought the West has been mired in for more than two decades has taken a recent toll on Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park, where the northern end of the lake turned into a gigantic mudflat as water was released down the Snake River for agricultural operations in Idaho. This photo was taken September 25, 2022.
