Visitors wait to catch a boat ride across Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. What's not in view is a huge parking lot complex, overflowing in summer, just off the east shore of Jenny. Grand Teton, which recorded a whopping 3.8 million visits in 2021, also has the busiest commercial airport in the state inside its borders. Huge numbers of visitors have also brought an inundation of people to campgrounds and trails on the nearby Bridger-Teton National Forest. What is the answer?  Photo courtesy J. Bonney/NPS
