Why is Jackson Lake in the Tetons so low?


Why is Jackson Lake in the Tetons so low? Water levels at several reservoirs in the region are dropping to record lows because of the extreme drought across the West. That will soon include Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park, as it's expected to be drawn down to levels only seen three times in the last 30 years.


Why are the Tetons so famous?
