The majestic beauty of Grand Teton National Park has moved people throughout time.
Native Americans believed in the spiritual power of the towering mountain peaks and journeyed there to gain special powers.
Early fur traders, who had just crossed less ominous mountain ranges, viewed with trepidation the massive obstacle that loomed before them on their passage to the Pacific Northwest.
In others, the Tetons ignited vision and passion--a vision to preserve for all generations to come and a passion to protect the independent way of life known by the first settlers of this western frontier.
The formation of Grand Teton National Park spanned the course of nearly 70 years.
Although there were many people who shared the struggle before them, it was not until Stephen Mather and Horace M.
Albright took up the fight in 1915 that steps towards success were taken.
Albright's tenacity and ability to convey his vision to philanthropist John D.
Rockefeller Jr.
set in motion a very long journey that culminated with Pres.
Harry S.
Truman signing today's Grand Teton National Park into existence on September 13, 1950.
