Jackson Hole is the
only destination in America that is both a national park gateway
and a major winter resort. There’s plenty to see here,
and, once again, the ranch’s Director of Outdoor Pursuits
can assist you in planning your adventure. Here are some local
points of interest:
Yellowstone National Park is
a scenic, one-hour drive from 3 Creek Ranch. America’s
first national park, this hotbed of geothermal activity is
home to legendary geyser Old Faithful, plus other geysers,
hot pools and mud pots. For wildlife viewing, the park is
home to black bears, moose and about 4,000 bison.
Grand Teton National Park, a
half-hour drive from 3 Creek Ranch, offers stunning mountain
scenery and a diverse array of wildlife. The Teton Range dominates
the park’s skyline, rising over 7,000 feet above the
valley floor.
The National Elk Refuge is located
just north of Jackson, and is home to more than 7,500 elk
from October until May. Horse-drawn sleigh tours are a popular
way to experience an up-close, personal view of the animals.
The National Museum of Wildlife Art
overlooks the National Elk Refuge. With 2,300 pieces of art
on display, it’s the world’s premier wildlife
art collection. |
