In 2005, Grand Teton National Park began preparing for the multi-year process of creating a new General Management Plan (GMP) for Grand Teton National Park and the John D.

Did You Know?
Did you know that Jenny and Leigh Lakes are named for the fur trapper “Beaver” Dick Leigh and his wife Jenny (not pictured)? Beaver Dick and Jenny assisted the Hayden party that explored the region in 1872. This couple impressed the explorers to the extent that they named the lakes in their honor.
