Strange plant growing in Antelope Flats and along Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park
This was a colorful plant that we saw along Antelope Flats Road and Mormon Row. We tried to identify it but could not find it in any of our books. I think the yellow is just the leaves that turn red as they mature. The ones we saw were only about one foot tall but they did put on a bright show.
Thistle about to bloom along Antelope Flats Road in Grand Teton National Park
Elk Thistle is about to bloom along Antelope Flats Road in Grand Teton National Park. We see noxious weed crews spraying invasive plants along the roads in Grand Teton National Park and the surrounding wilderness areas. I suspect these thistles are considered to be noxious weeds and will be sprayed by the noxious weed crews. Teton Range viewed across Antelope Flats in Grand Teton National Park
You can locate views like this in Grand Teton National Park by driving North on the main highway through Grand Teton National Park from Jackson past the turn off to Moose Junction and Dornan's. A few miles north of the Moose Junction intersection you will see a road going east called Antelope Flats Road. Turn on Antelope Flats Road. Several miles up Antelope Flats road you will get to the junction of Mormon Row. When driving up Antelope Flats Road take a short detour off Antelope Flats Road on Mormon Row. You will enjoy the scenery along Mormon Row then return to Antelope Flats Road. Continue driving on past Mormon Row and visit the small town of Kelly and if you are really in for some visual overload turn on Gros Ventre Road and follow the Gros Ventre River into the Gros Ventre Wilderness. On the drive up Gros Ventre Road you will pass the Gros Ventre Slide where you will want to stop and read the kiosk plus take the short trail that leads out on the slide. It is a pretty awesome geological experience. Just upstream from the Gros Ventre Slide is Slide Lake and if you keep going you will go past the Red Hills Ranch and other ranches as you make your way deep into the Gros Ventre Wilderness.
