Our guests always get to see the snowshoe Tipi Camp up and running with all the bells and whistles in place; however, it doesn’t happen without considerable effort up front!  We start preparing for our Jackson Hole sleigh rides well in advance to make sure the sleighs and Tipi Camp are in perfect condition for our guests. Here are some images to show you the rest of the story:


Jackson Hole sleigh rides preparationSnow control takes some serious effort, but the proper tools make it work.  Above, we see our 1971 Flex Trac Nodwell getting ready to pull our homemade V plow, which we recently improved.

Track packing the sleigh trail in November is a first.

Here comes the hay!  Our sleigh pulling team, Spanky and Alfalfa, will eat 100 bales of hay while stationed at camp this winter.

    Morning float with tons of wildlife!

    "We had a very scenic float down the river in the early morning. Saw tons of wildlife, birds, even a mother moose and her calf! The fast waters were no problem either. Hot tea and blankets were provided as well, so our cold morning was still comfortable."

    Beautiful trip!!

    "My family and I (10 of us - all adults) did the float and dinner tour and had an outstanding and memorable trip! We saw lots of wildlife, the crew was great, and the dinner at their 'camp' was the highlight of our vacation to the Jackson Hole area. If you are looking for a great trip I highly recommend!!"

    Was that a dream?

    "Friends and I shared a magical experience on a horse-drawn sleigh to tipi camp along the Snake River in mid-December. The warm food, the rustic ambience, and the soft falling snow made for a quintessential winter afternoon. At the conclusion of our experience, the little boy with us turned to his mom and said, "Mommy, was that a dream?" Need I say more. A must-do."

    “Vintage Jackson Hole river experience!”

    We spent 2 hours on the river and 2 hours in the riverside camp enjoying a hand-crafted outdoor experience. Thanks to A.J. and Kevin for sharing their stories, history and wildlife along the snake river.
