Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Trip Planner
The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve is located four miles south of Moose on the Moose-Wilson Road. The Preserve provides a special opportunity to connect with nature in an environment designed to reduce congestion and provide an opportunity for solitude and reflection. Explore the network of trails leading to Phelps Lake through mature forests and aspen groves. Continue south along the Moose-Wilson Road to reach Teton Village for opportunities to view wildlife. This slow, winding road is closed to RVs and trailers and is unpaved for 1.5 miles. As you plan your trip, keep in mind that parking at the Preserve is limited and often full from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Consider carpooling to help alleviate congestion and reduce our environmental footprint. The Preserve remains car-accessible from May 1st-October 31st, and the Center is open from late-May through September.

Did You Know?
Did you know that the black stripe, or dike, on the face of Mount Moran is 150 feet wide and extends six or seven miles westward? The black dike was once molten magma that squeezed into a crack when the rocks were deep underground, and has since been lifted skyward by movement on the Teton fault.
