Serene but prone to dramatic photo-opportunities, the mountains of Grand Teton National Park throw down a challenge to hikers, climbers and backcountry campers.
When early emigrants tried to capitalize on the commercial potential of the Mormon trail, they established toll ferries and bridges across the North Platte River. Bessemer Bend, located upstream, became a favorite free crossing because when the water was low. It was also emigrants' last chance to cross the Platte on their journey west.
