Description
This is one of the Moulton Barns on Mormon Row in the Grand Tetons National Park. It is off Antelope Flats Road in the Southern part of the park. We had just packed up the car after it appeared the magic light of the sunrise was over. Clouds rolled in along with rain and then the rainbow appeared. Quite a few people had already left but those remaining were scrambling to pull their cameras back out.
Mormon Row is a line of homestead along the Jackson-Moran Road located in the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The area is often called Antelope Flats. The historic buildings of farms built from 1908 to the 1950s and were owned by Andy Chambers, T.A. Moulton and John Moulton. The National Parks helps to maintain the historic buildings as several have collapsed from the harsh winters and heavy snowfall.
The buildings often have herds of bison milling around them and has the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background. The Mormon homesteaders began to arrive in the 1890s from Idaho, creating a community called "Gros Ventre", with a total of 27 homesteads.
