… of the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve (Grand Teton National Park)

This is a series of three booklets, one for each season (spring, summer and late summer) that group the plants in bloom not by color or family, but by where you should first find them in the Preserve… like a “cast in order of appearance”. In that way, they are essentially walking tour guides as you leave the parking lot, proceed through a sagebrush meadow to the Preserve Center, then head up to Phelps Lake along Lake Creek Trail. Once you get to the lake, you (and your “guide”) proceed around the lake, reveling in the diversity of habitats and plants as you go.

And if you’re lucky, you might also see squirrels, pine martins, mule deer, moose or black bears.

As of Spring, 2025, these books are available to borrow at the Rockefeller Preserve Center, or to purchase at a number of shops in Victor or Driggs, Idaho, or Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
