Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center - Lead, South Dakota | Roam Lab

Grand Teton National Park
The Grand Tetons rise out of the Wyoming prairie with an abruptness and drama that cannot be ignored. The mountains form a 40 mile long active fault-block range that continues to grow as pressure forces the rocky fault upward with occasional, massive earthquakes. #grandteton #wyoming #mountains #nationalpark #roadtrip #travel #adventure #hiking #camping #outdoors
