Ridiculous!
Saying the Tetons aren't some of the most beautiful mountains in the world would be a tough sell pic.twitter.com/bgVUTVticT

Stunning. But guess what? The absurd cones have been set up in a spiteful attempt to not allow you to view them.
Is it really necessary to keep driver in this photo from safely pulling off highway to take a picture of the Tetons? pic.twitter.com/LW8Ci1ZWv5

@cmahar3 They also put barricades on the cut outs in Wyoming where ppl could change tires because they could take pics of the Tetons. Lame

Safety? You plebs don’t need no stinkin’ safety!
Of course, as Twitchy noted, that whole vision thing is hard for the Spite House and President Stompy Foot.
OMG they closed the Tetons too? Growing up I could see them from my house… #PresidentStompyFoot

By the way, I just shot that last outrageous picture a few minutes ago as I was driving by the Tetons. #ShutdownTheater

The point is not that you can't see the Tetons, it's that it is mean and vindictive: https://t.co/Nu6Gs3ABfQ

Bingo.
I just got to the Grand Tetons and it looks like im going to have to get creative to find places to photograph due to our stupid government.

Bravo, sir!
Citizens from across the country are breaching the barricades as #OccupyAmerica continues.

Now from the Tetons to Yosemite!

Yes. It isn’t called #SpiteHouse for nothing!
Govt Shutdown Report Day #1: Food rations are stable. Couldn't go to Yosemite today, but moral is still high.

Hey, they probably didn’t build those small businesses anyway. Right, petulance in chief?
The Barrycades are being breached at Yosemite as well.

Snicker. That photo made the rounds on Reddit and is a “too good to check” instant classic. Obama constantly flips the bird at the American people: Turnabout is fair play!

That report blames Republicans, natch. But more and more citizens are realizing that the barricades are called Barrycades for a reason.
And an exit point to drive home the utter failure: Barrycades? You’re doing it wrong.
They can shut down the Parks, but they can't take away the view.
