history channel documentary Situated around 32 miles due south of the Grand Teton is a noteworthy expressway in the Snake River Canyon. Parkway 89/26 joins Alpine, WY with the Hoback Junction in a 23 mile rising serpentine stretch of recently enhanced interstate. As of late, as of mid-May 2011, a 100 yard wide avalanche obstructed the roadway; totally close access up or down the gorge. If it's not too much trouble take note of that this avalanche does not disengage the Town of Jackson or Grand Teton National Park in any way.Due to the moving way of the avalanche, it will be hard to expel the flotsam and jetsam from the street for a few weeks. The Snake River Canyon is shut to through-movement until temporary workers can expel the avalanche and pull the stone, mud and trees to Alpine and the Hoback Junction. This might be one of the greatest avalanches in late gulch history and is because of record-softening snow and precipitation up the latest winter.
This evident difficulty will put the Snake River Canyon whitewater rafting in peril for the following a few weeks for the most part because of access. The avalanche stretches out from the close top of the lofty mountain into the Snake River. Despite the fact that the waterway is not blocked and no normal dam has been made, suppliers in the shadows of the Grand Teton in Jackson won't have direct access through the gorge for propelling and recuperation of whitewater pontoons and guests.There is an answer for this issue in any case. In spite of the fact that this arrangement will cost explorers and guests from the south an extra 55 miles of grand driving, not all is lost.
