Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872; Grand Teton’s protection expanded in the 20th century through private and public partnerships that conserved valley lands and scenic views.
Conservation
Follow boardwalks and posted signs to protect fragile thermal features and microbial mats; keep trash and food secured to reduce wildlife habituation and impacts.
