PUSHING BOUNDARIES—<br />
JHSTYLE<br />
IMAGE Mark Gocke<br />
From the dreaming amateur to the best competitor in the world, local Teton<br />
adventure athletes push their physical and athletic feats to levels beyond<br />
my own comprehension. As a past sport-level endurance mountain and<br />
road bike competitor, I more than admire and appreciate their feats.<br />
Storyboarding many of these amazing athletes<br />
and their accomplishments over the past<br />
decade in <strong>JHStyle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> — from the Grand<br />
Teton Picnic and the Triple Teton Triathlon, to<br />
climbing and skiing the Grand Teton, to many<br />
other personal firsts — continues to drop my<br />
jaw in awe.<br />
But when I asked our team to look outside<br />
the box for remarkable non-athletic feats,<br />
we were easily reminded of the extreme<br />
commitment and dedication of many who<br />
push the boundaries in order to build<br />
a better community for all. We tend to<br />
overlook these headlines.<br />
Even though this issue continues to give<br />
kudos to some seasoned — and upcoming —<br />
athletes making their mark in the Tetons, I<br />
hope you enjoy the scripts we put together<br />
to give more insight and praise to the likes of<br />
local scientists, librarians, conservationists<br />
and artists. From dancing to strokes on<br />
canvas, to saving and restoring historic<br />
homes, these leaders are also making their<br />
mark on our community.<br />
Enjoy all that makes Jackson Hole and the<br />
Tetons home for many, and a place to find<br />
your own ambitions in life.<br />

ABOUT THE COVER<br />
This painting, Return from the Hunt (1908), from artist<br />
William Herbert Dunton (1878 – 1936) reflects the<br />
authentic dirt, grit and drive of the Old West. Dunton’s<br />
paintings are distinguished by a love for the land,<br />
animals and people he painted, with figures cut from a<br />
cowboy hero mold, according to art historians. Dunton<br />
was a lifelong elk hunter who devoted his energy<br />
to activities he preferred above all others, namely<br />
hunting and sketching in the mountains and forests of<br />
the West where he resided.<br />
This 30x20-inch oil on canvas will be auctioned off at<br />
the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction in July 20<strong>24</strong>. The sale<br />
realized over $<strong>24</strong> million in <strong>2023</strong>, and is currently<br />
accepting quality consignments for the 20<strong>24</strong> event on<br />
July 27 in Reno, Nevada. For more information, turn to<br />
the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction ad on page 23, or visit<br />
