Vice President Biden, Secretary Salazar, Director Jarvis and others yesterday attended a ceremony celebrating the new monument.

Grand Teton NP - The park recently joined with the sportsmen's group Trout Unlimited to remove the Newbold Dam, an obsolete water diversion structure located on the Gros Ventre River. The dam's removal unlocked more than 100 miles of stream habitat for spawning and sustaining trout.
