Nature Mapping Wildlife Report for August 27, 2017

Once again, we had a lovely trip down the river this week on our Jackson Hole float trip—and were graced by the presence of 22 different species along the way! Frosty mornings are giving way to beautiful sunny days and the critters are beginning to move about.  Fall is coming!

One of the highlights was a Bald Eagle swimming for a few seconds while trying to manage the big fish he just caught. Not only was this quite an image, it was one we had never seen on a float trip before! Beyond that we saw a dozen Black-billed Magpies, one American Goldfinch, twelve Western Wood-Pewees, and one yellow-bellied Marmot: another great Jackson Hole float trip in the books.

    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.
