Grand Teton National Park comes first. After all, our success depends on protecting the natural habitat and resources of the Park. In partnership with the National Park Service, we are dedicated to preserving the rivers, mountains, lakes and natural wildlife of the Jackson Hole valley for future guests and generations to enjoy.

To prove that we hold this privileged stewardship in high priority, we have adopted an Environmental Management System that is certified to ISO 14001 standards (International Organization for Standardization). This certification holds us accountable through third-party audits to the high standards and practices we have set for renewable energy, pollution prevention, wildlife habitat protection, and environmental education. Our efforts in environmental protection have created several industry-leading initiatives that far exceed state and federal requirements. Furthermore, the Environmental Management System not only identified our significant environmental aspects as water use, transportation, and hazardous waste but also led us through the process to significantly reduce or eliminate the potential for environmental impacts in several other areas.

As we have put our plan into practice, we have found that many of our partners and suppliers have adopted similar standards—further helping protect the scenic value of both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
