Though little is known about this specific tower, one can only imagine the types of thoughts that must have occupied a lookout’s mind as they sat stranded, completely alone at 10,000 feet, watching for orange glows on the horizon.

Sky Ranch Historic District

The Grand Teton National Park Historic Properties Management Plan Environmental Assessment is open for comments until February 17.  The plan evaluates present conditions and future uses for the 44 historic properties located within Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Among these properties is Sky Ranch, an architect-designed complex of beautifully crafted log buildings constructed as a vacation retreat in 1953. The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to demolish the National-Register eligible Sky Ranch – WE DISAGREE!
