The hotel is located about 32 miles south of Grand Teton is a major highway in the Snake River Canyon. Highway 89/26 links Alpine, WY Hoback Junction in again with 23 km of a road winding road of growth improved. Recently, in mid-May 2011, a landslide blocked the highway 100 meters wide, completely sealing the access to the top or bottom of the canyon. Please note that not isolate this landslide of City of Jackson and Grand Teton National Park in eachWay.
TIME checkpoint
Teton
Due to the turbulent nature of the landslide, it will be difficult to remove the debris from the road for several weeks. The Snake River Canyon is closed to traffic from a supervisor may remove the landslide and bring rocks, mud and trees and Alpine and Hoback Junction. This may be one of the biggest landslides in history and is the throat recently by record snow and rain last winter.
ASRafting
This apparent dilemma put the Snake River Canyon white water rafting at risk for the next few weeks, especially with regard to access. The landslide extends from near the top of the steep mountains of the Snake River. Although the river is not blocked and natural dam was built in the shadow of Grand Teton in Jackson decorators do not have direct access through the gorge to the launch and recovery of white water rafting andGuests.
ANSWER THE SCENIC
Is there a solution to this problem, however. Although this solution, travelers and visitors from the south has an additional 55 miles of scenic road, all is not lost.
One of the most beautiful roads adjacent to the Grand Teton area from the city of Jackson over Teton Pass in Idaho and on the west side of the Teton Mountains. Highway 22 rises to a height of 8,429 meters above sea level, aunobstructed view of the Grand Teton National Park and the wider Jackson. This is the by-pass the landslide of Snake River Canyon and offers views of the valley, looking for, rather than on the mountains as in the Snake River Canyon. The grades are steep, but the view is breathtaking. The additional travel time is well worth it!
If you are ascending from Teton Pass and Jackson will be able to see the National Elk Refuge, the City of Wilson, Jackson HoleSnake River, Blacktail Butte, Sleeping Indian, and most of the Grand Teton National Park. Descending to the Teton Pass, west mountain landscape, you will be treated with views of eastern Idaho and untouched. This route passes through Victor, Idaho and then through the Swan Valley on Highway 31 at the junction of Swan Valley, do not forget to add a couple of square feet of ice at the gas station alone in a corner of the intersection.
From that point, you are the Snake River in the parallel outputPalisades Reservoir. After passing the dam, you have a view of the lake to the south and the waste water of Snake River Canyon. This is in the film. The penetration of water into the tank remains muddy for several weeks until the stops scrolling.
The best of a landslide disaster might be better than direct access to the Snake River. Most visitors to the beauty of the Tetons Tetons never overlook the valley.
Whitewater in the 2011 seasonperhaps more than at any other time in recent history because of high runoff and snow cover of the Yellowstone and Snake River tributaries. Joists not, do not miss this season! The more hours after the movie is a big bonus for the water like that!
After all, you do not go on vacation, only to run from point A to B, half of the holiday is always fun too!
