EXPLORE: For the Birds
For the Birds Several hundred species of birds call the valley’s skies home. // By Jim Mahaffie A seasonal rite of passage for Jacksonites every spring is swapping out their seed feeders for hummingbird feeders. Every year, the hummers quickly find these new feeders—zooming around decks—while the winter bird crowd has flown off to find what nature is offering elsewhere. More than 340 species of birds have been identified in Jackson Hole. Most are migratory, spending only three to six months in the valley each year. They flock to the Tetons because the diverse habitats include sagebrush flats, spruce fir…

EXPLORE: Walk to Water
Walk to Water These lakes and creeks are worth the effort it takes to hike to them. // words and photos By dina mishev There are 44 named lakes (and an uncountable number of unnamed lakes) in Grand Teton National Park.

EXPLORE: GTNP’s Historic Ranches
GTNP’s Historic Ranches The storied dude ranches that helped introduce the West to generations of visitors left an enduring legacy on Grand Teton National Park—one that can still be experienced today. // By Helen Olsson From the early 1900s to the 1940s, Jackson Hole was a hotbed for dude ranching. City slickers came to experience the Western landscape, rustic cabins, and the cowboy lifestyle, saddling up for overnight pack trips into the wilderness. The social scene was vibrant, too, with cocktail hours, dances, card games, and dinners. “You’d take a train to Victor, Idaho, then a stagecoach over Teton Pass,…

FEATURE: Pawprints and Policy
Pawprints and Policy In life, Grizzly 399 was a symbol of the species’ recovery under the Endangered Species Act. In death, can her legacy protect grizzlies as their time under federal protections seems to be coming to an end? And if it could, should it? // By Billy Arnold To the general public, her story began with the splat of grizzly feces, a tracking expedition, and the crinkle of fresh newsprint. The year was 2004, and Rebecca Huntington, a young reporter with the Jackson Hole News&Guide, was in the northern part of Grand Teton National Park following researchers who were…
FEATURE: The Birth of Backpacking
The Birth of Backpacking Conceived of almost 30 years ago, the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is as much of an adventure as ever, and it passes through Jackson Hole. // By Molly Absolon Less than an hour ago, at the start of the 2,700-mile Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GRMBR), my husband, Allen, and I posed for a photograph. Fresh, clean, fit, and full of enthusiasm, we smiled for the camera and then set off. But now—only three miles in—we’re turning around. Allen’s pedal fell off. And, because we dare to think it can’t get much worse, it starts…
FEATURES: Revived & Revered
Revived & Revered Thanks to efforts of Indigenous wildlife managers, the Wind River Reservation is again an ecologically vibrant and crucial piece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. // By Mike Koshmrl During one of the most sordid, shameful incidents Richard Baldes remembers, a herd of the Wind River Indian Reservation’s scant pronghorn became pinned against the low-elevation highway by deep snow. They had nowhere to go. It was the winter of 1978–1979, one of the worst on record. These animals might have faced a long and slow death anyway. Mass starvation is often the outcome of severe Wyoming winters, and…
