The Kelly parcel is just 1 square mile of rolling hills and aspen groves at the doorstep of one of America’s great national parks, Grand Teton in Wyoming. But don’t be fooled by the sagebrush: This piece of property is something special.

The $100 million from the sale of the so-called Kelly Parcel can be used by Wyoming to purchase other federal lands and minerals within the state.

After years of negotiations and threats of development, Wyoming will sell a prized piece of land so that it can be preserved inside Grand Teton National Park.
