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.

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.

Moose & Elk on the Move

By Spring Creek Ranch on April 16, 2013

It is a relatively quiet time in Jackson Hole in terms of people but one of the best times to view wildlife. Ground squirrels have finally emerged from their long hibernation, migratory birds such as bluebirds, cranes, red-tail and Swainson’s Hawks have returned and the large hoofed mammals are on the move toward their...

By Spring Creek Ranch on October 30, 2012

One of the most unique animals within this ecosystem is the pronghorn (frequently called antelope) so it is appropriate that these animals engage in one of the most unique migrations in the entire continent. Jackson Hole’s population of pronghorn leave our valley each Fall moving south in the general direction of Pinedale, WY. Their... Read More.
