Grand Teton Natl. Park
July 9, 1931, Emma Matilda Lake
Two Ocean Lake lies about 1
mile north of Emma Matilda. It
is a reservoir with a dam at the
south end. No swans were reported
on this lake & we were too late to
see the lake.
As we came to the sage brush
of the Jackson Hole valley, about 1
mile east of Emma Matilda, we
flushed a family of 4 grown sage hens
& young.
I feel that every bit of this country
south of Yellowstone Parks from
the Thoroughfare, Grand River Cliff
down to & including Jackson Hole
and the Tetons, should comprise one national park with Yellowstone.
It is scenically outstanding and
is a game unit -- at present cut
in half. It would probably need 2 administration centers, but should by all means, be one big park.
It seems like the only large area available for one complete
game area.
