The Interpretive Program

Previous

The park museum is located at Jenny Lake, the focal point for all naturalist activities. In it are housed exhibits pertaining to history, geology, fauna, and flora of the Teton-Jackson Hole country. The collection devoted to mountaineering is in many respects unique. Adjacent to the museum is an open-air amphitheater, where campfire talks on geology, wildlife, and other subjects relating to the park are given every evening during the summer season. Nature walks, auto caravans, and all-day hikes are conducted by members of the naturalist division.

An information desk is maintained at the museum, and rangers are there at all hours of the day to answer inquiries. These services are available during the summer season only, but information may be obtained at park headquarters throughout the year.

The naturalists and rangers are always glad to assist visitors in making the most of their visit to the park.
