Grand Teton National Park’s (GTNP) renewal project at Mormon Row Historic District has begun. The restoration project is a collaboration between GTNP and Grand Teton National Park Foundation (GTNPF) that aims to expand pedestrian and cyclist access and improve accessibility overall.
Project Details
Work on the initiative will include a redesigned parking area, pathways and updated interpretive elements, per GTNPF. Construction is expected to continue through November, though the area will remain open all season.
According to a social media post by GTNPF, plans include adding new ADA-accessible pathways and viewing areas near the T.A. Moulton Barn, along with interpretive elements. The new walking paths will aim to prevent erosion, vegetation loss and social trails.
A new parking lot is planned for the southeast corner of Antelope Flats Road and Mormon Row. By moving the parking area farther from the buildings, visitors will have unobstructed views of the historic structures and the mountains.
