Winter is coming to Jackson Hole

By Spring Creek Ranch on October 12, 2009

Weather here in October is reliably unpredictable, but we still managed to find amazing wildlife during this past weekend’s multi-day safari.

Fires in the Jackson Hole Valley

By Spring Creek Ranch on September 28, 2009

Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks both have wildfires currently burning. This has led to a bit of haze across the landscape during the day, but created some amazing sunsets. On one of our recent excursions up to Yellowstone, we were able to see the largest fire currently burning Arnica fire, which has grown... Read More.

Elk Bugling in the Distance

By Spring Creek Ranch on September 11, 2009

The national parks are feeling quieter in terms of visitors this week, but the local elk are anything but quiet this time of year. The rut, or mating season, of elk is beginning and will last for the next few weeks. The bugling call of a large bull elk is one of the wildest... Read More.

Bison Rut - Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, WY

Bison Rut in Grand Teton National Park

By Spring Creek Ranch on August 28, 2009

For me, the best part about wildlife watching in August is the bison rut. During this time of year the males aggressively court the females and are focused on either intimidating other males or finding love with the bison ladies. One of their strategies for impressing females is to wallow in dusty areas. This... Read More.
