Eurographics Inc Steve Hinch - Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA: 1000 Pcs

Take in the majestic beauty of Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park with this 1000-piece puzzle featuring HDR photography by Steve Hinch. This scenic landscape depicts a pair of bison against the backdrop of the Teton Mountain Range. The park encompasses the 40-mile long Teton range, the 13,775 ft (4,199 meter) Grand Teton Peak, and the valley known as Jackson Hole. Efforts to preserve the region as a national park began in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the Teton Range's major peaks. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park. Assembled puzzle measures approximately 26.625 x 19.25 inches.
