Board awards $23,750 for Outer Park Road Grand Teton geology audio tour
Summary
The board awarded $23,750 from unallocated reserves to fund an Outer Park Road Grand Teton National Park geology tour app; board members asked about overlap with TravelStorys content, timeline feasibility, expected shelf life and economic impact.
The Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Board voted to fund an audio geology tour for Grand Teton National Park's Outer Park Road, approving $23,750 from unallocated reserves. "Ms. Scharp made a motion to approve the Geology Tour request in the amount of $23,750 from unallocated reserves. Ms. Holbrook seconded. No public comment. Motion passed 7-0."
During Q&A, staff and applicants addressed whether the project would duplicate existing TravelStorys content and confirmed the project could be completed by June 30, 2026 if funded. The applicants did not provide an anticipated number of listeners but said they would run reporting and increase distribution if needed; staff noted the shelf life for geology content is long and would not require frequent updates.
