  • Der John D Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway ist ein Schutzgebiet des National Park Service im US-Bundesstaat Wyoming. Er besteht aus einem Streifen Land, das den Grand-Teton-Nationalpark mit dem Yellowstone-Nationalpark verbindet. Im Parkway verlaufen der Snake River bis zur Mündung in den Jackson Lake sowie die hier gebündelten Highways US 89, US 191 und . Der Memorial Parkway wurde nach John D. Rockefeller Jr. (1874–1960) benannt, um ihn für seine Spenden von großen Grundstücken zu ehren. Rockefeller hatte in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts aus privaten Mitteln und Mitteln der Rockefeller-Stiftung Ländereien für Nationalparks wie Acadia-Nationalpark, Grand-Teton-Nationalpark, Great-Smoky-Mountains-Nationalpark, Shenandoah-Nationalpark und Yosemite-Nationalpark angekauft und den Vereinigten Staaten übergeben. Der Parkway umfasst die nördlichen Ausläufer der zu den Rocky Mountains gehörenden Teton Range, wo sie in das vulkanisch geprägte Gelände der Caldera des Yellowstone-Vulkans übergeht. Das Schutzgebiet hat keine eigenen Einrichtungen, seine Verwaltung wird vom Grand-Teton-Nationalpark übernommen. (de)

This parkway carries U.S. Route 89, U.S. Route 191, and U.S. Route 287 Created in 1972 through the authorization of the United States Congress, and consisting of 24,000 acres (9,700 ha), it also borders National Forest lands and is an integral part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Caribou-Targhee National Forest borders the parkway on the west and Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness forms the eastern border. The land was originally part of Teton National Forest and was transferred to the National Park Service from the United States Forest Service to assure an unbroken connection between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The parkway road itself extends from the northern end of Grand Teton National Park, through the parkway lands, and then on to West Thumb Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, a distance of 27 miles (43 km). The parkway is a transitional zone in terms of geology with ancient lava beds being found in the north and the granitic rocks of the Teton Range in the south. The Snake River flows through the parkway as it heads south to Jackson Lake and is considered a prime trout fly fishing area. In Grand Teton and Yellowstone, grizzly bears, black bears, moose, elk, bighorn sheep and mule deer can be found there. The Yellowstone fires of 1988 affected the northern sections of the parkway consuming 4,000 acres (1,600 ha)). As of 2005, the forest had begun to be rejuvenated and wildlife habitat had actually increased due to better mix of meadow and forest lands. A major relocation project for the Flagg Ranch concession operation (consisting of a lodge, gas station, camp store, cabins and a campground) from along the Snake River to a point higher up and less visible from the road was completed in 2002. Rafting is a popular activity during the summer and guided snowmobile tours use the parkway as a starting point for trips into Yellowstone during the winter. (en)
