LSR Preserve Trails

Hershberger Design prepared the master plan and site design for the proposed Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve located within Grand Teton National Park. Previously the JY Ranch, family compound of Laurance Rockefeller, the project scope for the trails component included circulation planning and design for pedestrians, bicycles, and horseback access; layout and design for over 10 miles of interpretive hiking and ADA trails; design of special interpretive and viewing spaces; and reclamation planning to restore unnecessary trails and vehicular routes to their native condition.

Parks are passive and active, mutli-seasonal and flexible in function. Simplicity and environmental stewardship are principal elements of enduring parks projects.

Ranches are complex in how they operate through the seasons. The land, and operations, read strong in every well functioning, beautiful ranch.

Every site provides opportunities for house placement, orientation and access at any scale. The exterior should interact with the interior, and outdoor space is best defined with existing elements.

Communities are diverse requiring unique responses to every project.

The natural environment is the draw for most resort communities. Connecting visitors and residence to the environment is central in the resort experience.
