Famous Landmarks
Two Moulton barns sit at the edge
of a quiet dirt road on the Antelope
Flats sagebrush plain. Nearly one
hundred years old, these famous
landmarks show inevitable signs
of aging, but they are far from
decaying relics of the past. Part of
Grand Teton National Park’s cultural land-
scape and one of its most photographed sites,
John and Thomas Alma Moulton’s barns symbolize
the frontier spirit, offering solid proof
that a tiny, self-sufficient community known
as Mormon Row thrived for two generations
despite Jackson Hole’s harsh climate and
isolation at the turn of the 20th century.

Mormon Row was settled in 1896 when
pioneering families loaded their wagons in
Rockland, Idaho, and set out for Jackson
Hole’s available land and sweet grass. After
dragging logs to slow their wagons’ descent
over Teton Pass and crossing the Snake River’s
swift water with the help of Menor’s Ferry,
the Row’s first residents arrived in July.
It was too late to plant fields and there was
no water for their livestock, so they plowed
a long irrigation ditch and hunkered down
to wait out the cold winter with other established
homesteaders. In the spring of 1897,
settlers dug wells and sowed what would

become a Mormon Row staple—an early
maturing oat they’d brought with them.
The U.S. Postal Service named the new community
Grovont, but everyone else called it
Mormon Row because most of the families
that settled there brought their religion
with them. From the first planting, the Row
flourished. Settlers traded eggs and grains for
other groceries at a local market and fought
off frigid winters with hot, blanket-wrapped
rocks and a steady diet of elk. Connected by
their faith and the cooperative community
spirit necessary for survival, Mormon Row

Outside my office, one of the first
snows of the season blankets the
mountains and valley. This brilliant
scene reminds all who are fortunate
enough to live in Jackson Hole full
time that we are in for at least five
months of winter!
While winter may indicate a different pace
in the valley, there is no slow season for the
Grand Teton National Park Foundation. We
are busier than ever and anticipating another
productive year of raising private funds for
one of the most magnificent national parks
in the system, Grand Teton National Park.
This past summer was an exciting time for
us. One of the highlights was the award
of a $500,000 challenge grant from the
prestigious Kresge Foundation towards the
Grand Teton Discovery and Visitor Center
campaign. The Kresge Foundation is a
$3 billion national foundation that builds
stronger nonprofit organizations by “catalyzing
growth, helping them connect with their
stakeholders, and challenging them with
grants that leverage greater support.”
The terms of the Kresge challenge grant
require the Grand Teton National Park

Foundation to raise the remaining $1.3
million of our $12.1 million campaign for
the visitor center by September 30, 2007.
It is an all-or-nothing challenge. We are
thrilled to receive this endorsement from
a highly respected national foundation for
a center that will highlight Grand Teton
National Park’s rich history and unique
natural resources. The Foundation counts
on those who love this park to help us meet
this challenge and support this outstanding
educational resource.
As we look to 2007 and the Foundation’s
10th anniversary, we anticipate another
extraordinary year, a year in which private
philanthropy will provide funds for extra
special projects in our park. I extend a
special thank you to the founding board
members: Jerry and Helen Halpin,
Clay and Shay James, Ed and Lee Riddell,
Bob and Nancy Jaycox, Brad and Kate Mead,
and Rob and Celia Wallace. This group of
folks, along with numerous park officials
and our newer board members, helped
the Foundation grow and provide more
resources for the park. Due to these visionary
and determined people, there will be a new
visitor center in Grand Teton National Park.
Thank you for your commitment to the
Grand Teton National Park Foundation.
Your support enables us to make a difference
in this special place.

Youth Conservation
Program 2006
Imagine moving a 300-pound
rock without the use of power
tools or uncovering a bridge
buried under several feet of debris.
There was a new superteam working
on park trails this summer.
The Youth Conservation Program (YCP)
teens enjoyed working, earning, and learning
in Grand Teton National Park as part of a
ten-week program.
The YCP participants built new trails, cleared
debris, installed bear-proof containers,
repaired historic Menor’s Ferry, pulled exotic
weeds, and cleared vegetation, all while
hiking miles of the park each day. These 16
to 18 year olds were also immersed in park
education including history, fire training,
safety and rescue, and stewardship.
Through generous gifts, the Foundation
funded the first YCP program over the
summer, but there were also gifts of
goods. Timberland donated work boots,
Mountain Khakis provided sturdy pants,
Dickies sent tee shirts, and Lee’s Tees imprinted
shirts and hats for the fourteen young men and
women on the YCP team.
Finding gainful employment can be hard
for teenagers. The rewards of working for
a national park can be immense, particularly
if the participants are inspired to pursue a
career based on their summer experience.
The team was all smiles at their end of
summer barbeque. Each one said they
would do it again.
With gifts from members, the Foundation
hopes to fund this program for summer 2007.

Jackson Hole Wolves
Regaining Ground
The gray wolf is rapidly
recolonizing previously
embraced territory in and
around Jackson Hole.
Arriving as dispersers from the 1995-
1996 Yellowstone National Park
reintroduction program, wolves began
plying the terrain of Grand Teton National
Park in 1997, homing in on a denning area
and producing the valley’s first wolf litter
in more than 70 years in 1999. Aptly named
the Teton Pack, this group of wolves, their
offspring, and probably a few new members
from packs unknown, dominated this new
home for seven years, tending new litters
each year except one.
But during the winter of 2005-2006, after the
Teton Pack alpha male died, other wolves
sensed the stressed social structure of the pack
and moved in. The newly named Buffalo Pack
of about 11 wolves took over the den site and
much of the Teton Pack’s range, leaving them
to fragment and wander pupless during the
breeding season. Meanwhile, two new packs
were filling other voids in the valley. In the
Pacific Creek drainage, a pack with the same
name was firmly planted at a den site north of
the Buffalo Pack’s domain, and the new Sage
Pack was hidden away in a small corner of the
Snake River plain to the south. Later in the
year, yet another new pack with pups - the
Huckleberry Pack - was discovered in the
northern-most reaches of Jackson Hole, near
the far end of Jackson Lake.
Combined with two wolf packs in the valley’s
fringes, one in the upper Gros Ventre drainage
and another in the Victor/Driggs vicinity, and
the Flat Creek Pack which denned on the
National Elk Refuge in 2005, a total of eight
Photo courtesy of Diana Stratton
wolf packs were believed to use parts of the
valley in 2006. Five of these (Huckleberry,
Pacific, Buffalo, Sage, Gros Ventre) produced
pups. One pack (Teton) did not, and
the status of two packs (Victor/Driggs and
Flat Creek) remains unknown, because without
radio-collared wolves in these packs we
could not locate dens or follow their movements
closely.
The return of wolves to Jackson Hole has
restored predator prey systems in the valley
that evolved over thousands of years. Elk and
moose are a little more attentive to their surroundings,
and wolves test groups and individuals
to find the weak, easier targets. The
stronger animals survive, passing on these
traits to successive generations. Numbers of
coyotes in the valley are probably decreasing,
as they compete with wolves for space, while
red fox, which compete with coyotes but not
wolves, may be on the rise. Animals particularly
vulnerable to coyote predation, like
pronghorn fawns, should benefit too, as
coyote numbers subside. In short, long lost
ecological balances are returning.
But livestock losses from wolves are also
returning as some longtime valley residents
can recall from the past century. The adaptations
that equip these large canines to prey
on elk, bison, and moose make the occasional
killing of cows, sheep, and even horses easy
Rough locations of Jackson Hole wolf packs in 2006.
work. So far, wolf control actions taken in
response to livestock conflicts account for
the highest percentage of wolf deaths in the
ecosystem, followed by natural causes, unknown
circumstances, roadkills and poaching.
Clearly, the integration of wolves into our
current socio-economic structure has been
fraught with many emotions and valid perspectives
from all angles. Sporting reproductive
rates much higher than most similar-sized
carnivores, wolves are naturally equipped to
survive large annual losses. Whether or not
wolves retain ground recently gained in
Jackson Hole over the long run will likely be
determined by socio-political factors—our
willingness to accommodate wolves—rather
than ecological ones.

Appreciated Stock
Makes an Excellent Gift
Giving gifts of appreciated stock
to the Grand Teton National Park
Foundation is an easy and tax-wise
way of supporting park projects and
programs.
Appreciated stock is an excellent choice for
funding charitable gifts because it can offer
significant tax benefits for the donor without
impacting cash flow. In fact, to offset a capital
gain event during the tax year, many donors
gift shares of stock or mutual funds to counter
an anticipated capital gain tax.
Here’s an example of how a gift of stock can
work: Bob and Jane have held a company’s
stock for twenty years. It has appreciated

Message from Grand Teton National Park
Superintendent M ARY G IBSON S COTT
Greetings from Grand Teton
National Park. I hope many of you
were able to visit the park during
the summer and fall seasons. As I
write this, the weather has moved beyond
the beautiful warm and sunny fall days but is
not yet snowy enough for winter recreation.
Deep snow is around the corner, and we will
enjoy the serene beauty of winter and all the
recreational activities the park offers when
the snow falls.
Summer 2006 was very productive and
punctuated by national events, visits by
dignitaries including Interior Secretary
Dirk Kempthorne and NPS Director
Fran Mainella, among others, and included
several complex search and rescue incidents
and highway accidents that presented special
challenges for park operations.
PARK HIGHLIGHTS:
On June 17, Grand Teton National Park hosted
Deputy Secretary of the Interior Lynn Scarlett
and Wilderness Society President Bill Meadows
during a ceremony to dedicate the Murie
Ranch as a National Historic Landmark
(NHL). Grand Teton is home to two NHLs:
the Murie Ranch and the Jackson Lake Lodge.
The Murie Ranch is associated with Olaus,
Margaret (Mardy), Adolph, and Louise Murie,
whose biological research and advocacy for
wilderness have significantly influenced the
natural sciences and the American conservation
movement. People from all over the
world come to the
Murie Ranch to
experience a serene
environment and consider
ways to preserve
this country’s extraordinary natural resources.
Deputy Director Scarlett, the keynote speaker
at the June 17 event, applauded the Muries for
their passion and vision. She noted that “the
Muries saw significance in places untouched
or lightly touched by the footprints and
handprints of man.” Mr. Meadows called
Mardy Murie “a spirit that continues to lead us
today,” and reminded us of Mardy’s conviction
that “Americans love their public lands and
will stand up and fight for them.”
PARK DOCUMENTARY UPDATE:
Discovery Communications spent several days
shooting additional footage for their documentary
film on Grand Teton and are putting
the final touches on the high-definition video.
This documentary will be shown in the new
Grand Teton Discovery and Visitor Center, as
well as other park and Jackson Hole venues.
We will co-host a special premier and anticipate
that it will be an awe-inspiring portrayal
of this incredible park. The date for the premier
showing is tentatively scheduled for late
May at Jackson Lake Lodge. More details
regarding this will be finalized in the spring.
LSR UPDATE:
The JY Ranch will soon be transferred to the
National Park Service to become a significant

addition to Grand Teton
National Park and
will be known as the
Laurance S. Rockefeller
Preserve. Many previous
trails and roads throughout the property
have been restored to their natural condition,
leaving approximately twelve miles of trails
for visitors to enjoy. Construction of a
platinum, LEED-certified building—home
to an innovative welcome center—is on
schedule and should be open to the public
in summer of 2007. According to the late
Laurance Rockefeller’s wishes, the building
and trails have been designed in an environmentally
sensitive manner.
Grand Teton is looking forward to managing
this outstanding natural area. We pledge
to preserve the distinctive character of this
special place and to respect Mr. Rockefeller’s
vision for the JY Ranch property by protecting
the natural setting, while allowing the public
to experience this part of the park in a more
contemplative manner.
GRAND TETON DISCOVERY
and VISITOR CENTER UPDATE:
Construction on the new Grand Teton
Discovery and Visitor Center is proceeding
rapidly. The walls are standing, the roof is in
place, and the main structure is quite evident.
An overall aesthetic impression is beginning
to take shape—one that complements the
stately silhouettes of the Teton peaks. Park
staff and visitors are excited to see what awaits
them next summer. It will be an amazing and
welcome contrast to the confined and windowless
space of the current visitor center.
A grand opening is planned for August 2007.
Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne,
and Wyoming’s senior senator, Craig Thomas,
are anticipated to be among the dignitaries
Bookstores Support the Park
Known by visitors as the “park
bookstores,” the Grand Teton
Natural History Association
(NHA) was born in 1937 with a
$500 gift from Jackson pharmacist,
Bruce Porter, to buy publications.
Dubbed the Jackson Hole Museum
Association, the organization was started as
a way for the park to provide informational
materials to visitors. Among members
of the first advisory committee were such
notables as Fritiof Fryxell, Steven Leek,
Harrison Crandall and Olaus Murie.
Today’s Grand Teton Natural History
Association, a non-profit organization,
supports the park, as well as federal agencies
such as the National Elk Refuge and the
national forests by selling interpretive,
educational, and research materials and
donating the revenue. The organization has
29 locations, 9 permanent employees, and it
hires 40 seasonal workers during summer.

Since its beginning, the Natural
History Association has taken
on a variety of park projects
including partnering with the
Grand Teton National Park
Foundation and Grand Teton
National Park to build the new
visitor center that opens in June.
Grand Teton Natural History Association has
park stores in Moose, Colter Bay, Jenny Lake,
Menor’s Ferry, JDR Parkway, Jackson Hole
Airport, and online. They are also publishers
and wholesalers. Every item sold in the bookstores
must be interpretive and educational.
The NHA used to sell primarily books and
maps. In recent years the National Park
Service has encouraged NHA to sell other
educational materials in recognition of the
fact that people learn in different ways.
Beyond the park bookstores, the NHA is
responsible for several park programs including
Artists in Residence, Roadside Artists and
Writers workshops, book signings, and artwork
purchases. NHA has donated several

Jan Lynch has been the executive director of
the Grand Teton Natural History Association
for four years. She began with the organization
in 1989 as a part-time sales clerk in the
Flagg Information Center store when her
husband, a park service employee, took a
position at Grand Teton National Park.
With a strong corporate background, she
moved up quickly, learning the ropes of
the Association until she was managing it.
“I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Jan says.
“This is all the fun and excitement of retail
but the income stays in our park to fund
great projects. What could be better?”
Lakes Swimmer Resor Completes Quest to
Swim all the Lakes of Grand Teton National Park
When Avery Resor began swimming
in the chilly lakes of Grand
Teton National Park, she didn’t initially
realize her favorite backcountry
activity would eventually evolve
into a quest.
But over time, Resor moved from swimming
the Tetons’ easily accessed bodies of water to
seeking out the more obscure and inaccessible
lakes in the park. Late this summer, during a
two-week visit home from college, the Jackson
native and her parents, Bill and Story, bushwhacked
their way to Talus Lake, located up
rarely traveled Snowshoe Canyon. After swimming
the picturesque lake, Resor had finally
completed her goal of swimming all 44 named
lakes in the park that sit within areas open to
the public.
“I never really thought it was a big deal,” said
Resor, 21, talking by phone from Durham,
N.C., where she’s studying environmental science
and policy at Duke University. “It was
just an excuse to go to obscure corners of the
park where there aren’t people.”
An avid swimmer, Resor began visiting the
park’s lakes more than 10 years ago, quickly
moving from easily accessible lakes such as
Bradley, Taggart and String to other lakes located
off of heavily used trails. After completing a
large number of swims in eighth grade, her
progress slowed when she began seeking out
more obscure lakes deeper in the backcountry.
“On a hot day in the middle of the hike it’s
refreshing when you jump in,” Resor said. “I
just love swimming in lakes. I jumped into a
lot of other bodies of water that didn’t have
names.”
When Resor finally decided to try and visit
each named lake, she counted 50 total.
However, six (including Swan and Heron
ponds) are closed to the public for habitat
restoration, so she settled on 44 as the final
number. She was accompanied by family
friend Hank Phibbs on several hikes, while
other swims were done on backpacking trips
with friends and family members. To qualify as
a swim, Resor would go under the water and
do several strokes.
Though every body of water in the park features
cold water, one swim stood out as being
particularly frigid. In early summer 1999,
Avery and her father climbed Buck Mountain,
where she planned to swim in Timberline
Lake, located at 10,000 feet. When they
arrived, the lake was almost completely frozen
over except for a six-foot hole in the ice. Resor
never hesitated, though she admitted it was
the shortest swim of any she attempted.
“That was the coldest, most epic swim because
it was iced over,” Resor said. “My dad put a
rope around my waist and kind of belayed me.”
Resor said several other lakes stood out
because of their beautiful settings, or because
they offered an especially scenic access route.
Several years ago, Resor visited Cirque Lake on
a multi-day backpacking trip. The remote lake
is tucked behind Maidenform and Cleaver
peaks north of Leigh Canyon and is accessed
most easily from Idaho. At Grizzly Bear Lake
north of Paintbrush Canyon, Resor swam
while several black bears lurked nearby.
Though nearly hidden, Rimrock Lake, tucked
below the summit of Prospectors Mountain,
was challenging to access.

Resor saved the most difficult trip for last. To
reach Talus Lake, Resor and her parents took a
boat across Jackson Lake and then endured an
arduous, eight-hour bushwhack up the North
Fork of Leigh Canyon, which has no trail and
is filled with downed timber and dense willow
thickets.
“I saved the best for last, I guess,” Resor said.
“That was the hardest bushwhacking I’d
ever done and my mom and dad said they
hadn’t done something that hard since hiking
in Alaska.”
Resor said she’s not certain if there are others
who have dunked and stroked in each of the
park’s lakes, but she emphasized that her
swims weren’t the sole emphasis of her backcountry
excursions
“It’s not really so much about achieving this
goal, though it’s kind of fun to know I’ve gone
swimming in them,” Resor said. “Mainly it’s
been a way to play in the Tetons. Instead of
going to somewhere you’ve been before, just
pick a body of water and figure out how to
get there.”

Famous Landmarks—continued
neighbors not only worked the land and
carved out homesteads, they also built a post
office, a schoolhouse, a church, and a roadhouse
that served meals to travelers. The
close-knit community slowly began to separate
when several families sold their land to the
Snake River Land Company to make ends
meet during the Depression. By the 1950s, the
remaining homesteads were purchased for the
expansion of Grand Teton National Park.
While the pioneering way of life has
disappeared, Jackson Hole continues to
harbor reminders of the early settlement at
Mormon Row. The furrow settlers plowed
to tap irrigation water from Ditch Creek
still bisects the sage-covered plain. The Row’s
Saturday night dances are long gone, and
the church where they were held was moved
away. It was restored in the 1960s and
eventually became part of the Calico Pizza

building near Teton Village, providing a
different venue for socializing today.
Listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, Mormon Row represents an era when
enterprising families could claim some of our
country’s wildest land through the Homestead
Act of 1862. Grand Teton National Park
Foundation and the National Park Service,
along with volunteers and other organizations,
have donated time, money, and talent to
preserve these historic buildings and honor
this unique moment in time. Cherished landmarks
like the Moulton barns will continue
to inspire restoration efforts, generating the
same spirit of community that helped the
original settlers survive.
Article by contributing writer Kim Mills
Harrison Goodall of Conservation Services, the leading expert
on wood preservation and restoration, repaired decaying logs on
historic Mormon Row buildings in the fall of 1999. A generous
gift to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation provided for
the preservation effort.
