Below you will find the checklists for the Sunday, May 12th Nature Mapping Wildlife Survey.  We continue to find many new shorebird species along the river but higher flows will probably start reducing those numbers this week. Thanks to everyone that made this trip possible including our great boatman, Len!  Hope to see you all on the river again soon.

    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.
