Location Moose Visitor Center and Park Headquarters
Description America’s Great Outdoors (AGO) Initiative was launched in 2010 to develop a
21st Century approach to conservation with a recreation emphasis, and the
Secretaries of the Department of the Interior and Department of
Agriculture, with support from other federal managers, took the lead in
developing a program. As part of this new initiative, Interior Secretary
Salazar selected Grand Teton National Park's Phase II Pathway—among other
efforts—as a signature project that met the overarching goal of the AGO
with its premise that lasting conservation solutions should rise from the
American people and protection of our natural heritage is a non-partisan
objective shared by all U.S. citizens.
Grand Teton National Park will highlight the America’s Great Outdoors
Initiative by hosting a celebration for completion of the Phase II Pathway
and its link to a pathway segment constructed by Teton County and the Town
of Jackson that connects Jackson with Grand Teton. This event is open to
the public.
