MOOSE, Wyo. (KIFI) The National Park Service and Grand Teton National Park Foundation are working in partnership to preserve and stabilize the historic John Moulton property, including the Pink House, on Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park.
The area will be closed to the public now through mid-summer for preservation activities.
The project will include structural foundation work to stabilize the Pink House and its iconic stucco, serving to improve the visitor experience through the preservation of this important historic landscape.
Preservation and conservation professionals completed analyses of the building’s condition and recent monitoring efforts indicated that the implementation of preservation actions should be completed soon.
The flood gates are open and Grand Teton National Park is awash in visitors setting a new high mark for the month of March.
March saw 74,754 recreation visits, nearly 25,000 more visitors than March 2020 which tallied 51,445. In 2019, March had 65,864 visitors.
With continuing mostly dry weather, April is on track to also rack up big numbers.
âWe are seeing increased visitors using the Teton Park Road this spring,â said Denise Germann, park public affairs officer recently. âIt may be a sign of what is to come this summer. Last weekend was one of the busiest weâve seen in years.â
