Before my husband and I headed for a few days to the backside of Grand Teton National Park, his supervisor advised enthusiastically, “You have to stop and see the old abandoned settlement!” He gave us the GPS coordinates, since it was, indeed, off the beaten path.

After driving three hours through Yellowstone and then through most of Grand Teton, all the way to the southeast corner of the latter’s park, we turned on to the non-descript Antelope Flats Road in a seemingly uninhabitable distant shadow of the 13,775-elevation mountain peak.
