Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating history and development of two iconic locations in Grand Teton National Park: Colter Bay Village and Jackson Lake Lodge. The author takes us back to the 1950s and 1960s, a time when the park underwent a major expansion and transformation known as "Mission 66." Through detailed analysis of planning documents, the book explores the challenges and opportunities presented by increasing visitor demand, changing needs, and the need to preserve the park’s natural and cultural resources. The book reveals the interplay of visitor experience, infrastructure, and environmental considerations that shaped the landscape of these two key areas within the park. Through its examination of these early planning documents, the book provides a unique window into the historical development of national parks and the complex balancing act between conservation and recreation that continues to shape these iconic destinations today.
