With the snow starting to melt and the Teton Park Road open to non-motorized traffic, it's starting to feel like spring in Grand Teton. Signs of new life are occurring: willows are blooming orange along creeks, songbirds are starting to be heard again, and tracks appearing in the snow suggest that animals are emerging from their winter slumbers.
