The Teton Range in the northwest extends for 50 miles.
The Tetons were named by French explorers who called the three highest peaks of the range Les Trois Tetons (the three breasts). In the 18th and 19th centuries, Caucasian fur trappers and fur traders called deep valleys rimmed by high mountains "holes." One such fur trapper was named David Jackson and his favorite place to 'hole-up' was named after him in 1829.

Between six and nine million years ago, stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust caused movement along the Teton fault. The west block along the fault line was pushed upwards to form the Teton Range, thereby creating the youngest range of the Rocky Mountains. The fault's east block fell downwards to form the valley called Jackson Hole. While many of the central peaks of the range are composed of granite, the geological processes that lead to the current composition began about 2.5 billion years ago.

Out with #1 Beefers today with a fun plan my caching buddy created. We hiked several miles in pursuit of caches today. It did take some looking. Thanks for the placement, Imusttravel2000!

Was able to get out and grab some caches. Had an enjoyable time making the find and want to thank the CO for putting out and maintaining the cache for us to enjoy a day out.

Thanks, imusttravel2000, for placing and maintaining this cache. We found it in great shape and enjoy all the caches we find as a family.

For 2018 we are working on really getting back into Caching. To do this we are upping our enthusiasm and the number of our cache trips. This is cache number 6200 for us. We have also hidden 244 so we understand and appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining a cache. Thanks again and go have fun.
