In the Grand Tetons are there any earth avalanches set off by tremors. It seems to me that there may have been one on Mount St. John

Hi, 

Thank you for your question! Grand Teton National Park does contain active faults, and is at pretty high risk for earthquakes. The Teton Fault stretches to about forty four miles across. An earthquake occurs there around every two hundred years. You can read more specifics on the subject at these links: https://www.nps.gov/grte/learn/nature/geology.htm

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us! To answer your question, none of the parks you listed (Zion, Bryce, Arches, and Canyonlands) are recommend for traveling with dogs. If they are brought on park grounds however, they always need to be on a lease (6 feet in length) and can be out on park camping grounds, paved roads, picnic areas.

 

Enjoy your adventure!

Best,

Hi,

After talking with the staff at Mesa Verde National Park there is not a viewpoint for their Cliff Palace tour. More specifically this is a one-hour, ranger-guided tour that involves climbing five, 8-10ft (2.6-3m) ladders, on a 100ft (30m) vertical climb. The total walking distance is about 1/4-mile (400m), round-trip. The tour begins at Cliff Palace Overlook, an 23-mile (37km), one-hour drive from the Visitor and Research Center.


Enjoy your adventure!
