A history-packed day in Grand Teton! From the barns of Mormon Row to the quiet beauty of Murie Ranch and the riverside heritage of Menors Ferry, we explore the human stories behind these iconic landscapes.
Today we continue our time in Grand Teton National Park, beginning at Gros Ventre Campground and setting out to explore some of the park’s most iconic historical sites. The Tetons rise behind us as we make our way toward Mormon Row, home to some of the most photographed barns in America. Standing in front of these old homesteads, it’s easy to picture the families who carved out a life here under the shadow of the mountains.
From there, we move into quieter history at Murie Ranch — a place tied deeply to conservation and the fight to protect wild landscapes. Walking the grounds feels like stepping back into a chapter of environmental history that still shapes the park today.
We end our tour at Menors Ferry, where the story of early transportation across the Snake River comes into focus. Old buildings, historic machinery, and the riverside setting tie together a full picture of early life in Jackson Hole.
This episode blends history, scenery, and exploration — a grounded, peaceful day surrounded by the Tetons’ dramatic backdrop.
