Fall in Jackson Hole

By Spring Creek Ranch on September 23, 2015

Of course you come for summer adventure or winter skiing, but one of the finest times of the year here in the Tetons is autumn: The summer crowds have dissipated, meadow grass is long and the many magnificent animals of the area are prepping themselves for winter. That means you’re more likely to come... Read More.

Local Lore

By springcreekran on April 17, 2015

Spring is not usually on people’s radar as a time to visit Jackson Hole but it should be. Known to locals as the shoulder season, it’s that time of year when holiday skiers have headed home and the first arrival of summer visitors has yet to begin.

By SCR Naturalist on August 28, 2014

It is the mating season for bison and that means there are great opportunities to observe some of their most fascinating behaviors. Mature bulls of breeding age have returned to the herds and are battling each other for mating opportunities with cows as they come into heat. Bulls will roar and bellow, paw the... Read More.

Fall Yellowstone Wolf and Bear Safari

By Jessica Zelenko on August 7, 2014

I visited Jackson Hole year after year as a child and never saw a bear. My family and I were always on the lookout. We pulled over every time we saw cars gathered on the side of the road in the hopes of spotting the elusive bear. We’d anxiously look around when we heard... Read More.

Wildlife Watching in Jackson Hole

By Jessica Zelenko on March 27, 2014

Steller's Jay - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Steller Feathers

By Spring Creek Ranch on November 26, 2013

The vast majority of breeding birds have left Jackson Hole in search of warmer climates, but several birds including this Steller’s Jay will remain throughout the Winter. This image taken this morning shows the vibrant blue coloration of this jay’s wing and tail feathers and (simply by good luck) has a six-sided snow crystal... Read More.
