I was told that Jackson Hole is sinking, and has been for thousands of years which is how the hole was created and hence the name. Is there any truth to this ?
Yes!!! The Teton Mountains are slowly rotating and rising while the valley drops as well. The combination is what makes the dramatic difference between the valley and the high peaks.
I agree with Laura N - I think US Forest Service is under dept of agriculture?
Don't forget about Hoback, also in the hole!
And yes I want a how the Tetons got their shape the and glacial evidence of the region! Great format keep it up!
Mmm okay noted. I’ll do a video on that!
Just read a great book about Jedediah Smith - Throne of Grace - by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. Covers that area and names of men you mention.
Oh that sounds like a good one, I’m adding it to my list!
USFS is part of the Agriculture Department!
Good work! It is in the department of agriculture!
