MOOSE, Wyo. \u2014 The National Park Service is soliciting public comments as it considers improvements to the Taggart Lake experience at Grand Teton National Park. This popular year-round trailhead supports a range of recreational pursuits from hiking in summer to skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, according to a statement released by the park’s public affairs office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taggart Lake is also a place where visitors of varying physical abilities and hiking familiarity have an opportunity to experience the backcountry. Growing visitation to the trailhead has led to overflow parking, deteriorated trail conditions, trail crowding, vegetation loss and insufficient facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are asking people from near and far to weigh in on how we can continue to preserve the park and provide opportunities for high-quality experiences in the Taggart Lake area,\u201d said Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Chip Jenkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A public comment period will last through November 21, 2024. The park will host a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. MST. For meeting information and to submit your written comments, please visit the\u00a0project website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour participation is vital to the success of the planning for the future of the Taggart Lake experience.\u201d Jenkins said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public comments will help inform the development of alternatives for the\u00a0Reimagining the Taggart Lake Area<\/a>\u00a0planning effort. \u00a0Alternatives will be analyzed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and will be presented to the public for additional feedback in the future. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NPS is working in partnership with Grand Teton National Park Foundation<\/a>, the park\u2019s philanthropic partner, on this project. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
