Mormon Row Historic District

And my local listeners, you will notice that, yes, it's the Grand Tetons.

That's Mormon Row on the cover.

We live right over here in Alta on the other side of the Teton.

So it's like...

It is a considerably better legacy than Big Belly.

Taking the turn toward Mormon Row beneath the Tetons, expectations of wilderness usually collapse beautifully near a paved road.

Walking away from the hatchery pond, we encountered a colony of swallows engineering mud nests of such architectural brilliance they easily shamed the crude dwellings of our local Tennessee birds.

I can only assume southern swallows lack the rigorous frontier work ethic of their western cousins.

We mounted our rented carriage, a towering piece of modern machinery, and resumed our monumental descent into the valley toward Mormon Row.

Our valiant expedition required us to travel several miles down a flat highway.

We eventually arrived at the celebrated Historic District, an outpost of civilisation where wooden barns sit perfectly framed against the dramatic, jagged peaks of the Teton Range.

People often claim that you cannot judge a book by its cover.

I'm very religious.

My family, we came out of Mormon Row.

So we settled into Mormon Row.

So we're the Moosehead Ranch, Topping Lake area by the Turner Ranch, that Triangle X.

So we were in Mormon Row.

So my family from Colorado and Utah into Jackson Hole, Wyoming is very LDS, very strict.

And then when I moved to Puerto Rico for university, it was a Methodist church.

And the last day on the biking, you know, we had different options.

It was kind of rainy a little bit that day, so it wasn't the most pleasant ride, but some of the group... opted for a shorter bike ride after going to see some of the scenery of Mormon Row.

And then some of us decided to continue on biking.

So you had some ability to pace out if you wanted to or carry on.

So Although that wasn't necessarily part of the active adventure, I think it made it really fun.

That's definitely a fond memory.

I think the biking and going to see the Mormon Row, that was really cool because those are some very old things.

wooden structures in a little town to give you a flavor of what it looked like back in the day.
