  • Old Faithful erupts - Jackson
    Old Faithful erupts
    by KaiM
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Old Faithful is one of the biggest attractions of Yellowstone National Park - and one out of 300 geysirs in Americas oldest National Park. The geysir got its name because of its predictable, regular eruption. The length of the eruption varies from 1:30 to 5 minutes. The average interval between eruptions is 94 minutes. You shouldn't come too close, because water at the vent reaches 204° F / 95.6° C. Old Faithful's height ranges from 106 feet to more than 180 feet, averaging 130 feet. But its average eruption length, height and interval will change again--often as a result of an earthquake. A very informative visitor center is located just 200 yards from the Geysir. At the center you can watch a film about Old Faithful and buy a lot of souvenirs.

    The landscape of the National Park is dominated by the Teton Range, a 40 miles long mountain front. The highest peak of the the Tetons is Grand Teton with an elevation of 13,770 feet (4198 meters). There are eleven other peaks with an elevation of 12,000 feet and higher. The lowest temperature recorded is -43 degrees Celcius (-46 Fahrenheit) and the park receives an average snowfall of 191 inches (490 cm) each year. But there is a lot more to see in the national park than just mountains and winter scenary. The Snake River cuts through the park and there are seven morainal lakes at the base of the Teton Range: Jackson, Leigh, String, Jenny, Bradley, Taggart, and Phelps. Over 100 alpine and backcountry lakes are also within the park borders. Hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and of course wildlife watching are the main activities at Grand Teton National Park. Black bears, grizzly bears, mooses, elks, deers, wolves, coyotes, bats, reptiles, amphibians and 300 species of birds can be found in the park.

    The million dollar cowboy bar is a must see (and a must photography!) in Jackson Hole, even if you do not go for a drink! We did not! It summarizes well the spirit of the city, a typical city of the old far west, though typicity is now carefully kept for visitors !

    Beside the natural beauty of the hot spring terraces you can also find historical points of interest. The old Fort Yellowstone is located in the small village of Mammoth Hot Springs. And there is a visitor center. By the way, if you walk a few steps north from Mammoth Hot Springs you cross the state border and enter Montana.

    On this picture, taken not far from Jackson, the Teton Range, in the background is reflecting in Jackson. In the foreground, silver birch trees stand along the shore. For more on the mountains of the Teton Range, go to my Grand Teton National Park page

    Are we back into last century, without any motorcars, without air pollution by gas exhaust but with dung powered carriages and the delicate perfume of manure embalming the air ? Unfortunately not, but you can hire a cab to make the tour of the city !

    10,000 years old, 20 miles long, 1000 ft deep, and 2500 ft wide - that is the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. One of the major attractions of Yellowstone National Park. Maybe one driving hour north of Jackson. You can take a good look at the canyon from numerous view points. There are two giant water falls - lower and upper falls. Take a hike down into the canyon to the point where the waters of the Yellowstone River pass the edge and fall down a few dozen feet deeper into the canyon.

    The Photo is a free download from the National Park Service.

    Museum in Jackson Hole
    by Jeannette1

    Inspite of the fancy shops and tourists, Jackson Hole still retains some of the "old west" flavor.
    I found the Museum fascinating. It's fairly small but has nice collections of furniture, pistols, indian artifacts and it depicts life of the early settlers.

    Jackson Hole is a Mountain Resort. In Summer, it can be a starting point for numerous forest trails in the Grand Teton National Park. Besides breathtaking landscapes, that can be, especially early morning, the opportunity to watch wild life : moose, beavers, bisons, bears and others.

    I attended this festival at the Grand Targhee Ski Resort located in Caribou/Targhee National Forest in 2003 and 2004. They had one of the best line ups and there was no one there! I am used to attending bluegrass and cajun festivals in the northeast and they are crowded-but here no way. Fine with me. I relaxed, knitted a scarf or two and hoola hooped.
    The best thing about this festival besides the music is the indoor flush toilets. This is important when you usually get a row of too full porto potties-you know what I'm talking about. LOL
