Often overlooked because of it’s close proximity to its famous big brother, Yellowstone National Park, More Than Just Parks shows us that Grand Teton National Park in northwest Wyoming is full of unbelievable landscapes and quiet beauty that will immediately inspire you to start packing up your camping gear.
Resource Travel caught up with filmmaker and co-founder of More Than Just Parks, Jim Pattiz to ask him about the project.
We had an absolute blast making the film, and who wouldn’t in such an incredible place? It’s well known that the Grand Teton range is one of of the most magnificent mountain ranges in the entire world. In the course of our filming, we discovered the best time time of day to experience the majesty of the park and its namesake mountains is at sunrise – which meant waking up very early – sometimes 3:30am!). The first light touching the mountains gives a brilliant red hue to the peaks and the surrounding sky making for a truly awe-inspiring view.More Than Just Parks is about sharing the wonders of our national parks with as many people as we can. Our national parks are national treasures and they deserve to be brought to the forefront so that people can see and experience their majesty. This is the best way we can ensure their continued survival and prosperity for future generations.
They have set the ambitious goal of featuring every one of America’s 59 National Parks in an effort to encourage interest and conservation of these incredible environments. Grand Teton marks their 8th completed short and we can’t wait to see the next one. To see how you can help, click here.
