We had the most incredible trip with the Teton Raptor Center and JH Vintage Adventures! Len led my two kids (3 and 4 years old) and I down the Snake River - he was a wealth of knowledge and a joy to be around. He also spotted 8 different bald eagles which was a highlight of our time in JH for my son. The Teton Raptor Center team brought a few of their raptors and deepened our education. My kids were enthralled (as was I). I felt that both teams took every precaution during Covid to keep us safe. Highly recommend this to anyone who has the opportunity to participate.

The History Trail is located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest! This forest consists of 3.4 million acres, making it the third largest National Forest outside Alaska. Before the U.S. Forest Service built Old Pass Road in 1913, this is approximately the route wagons and freight sleighs took over Teton Pass. Our hike took us 4 miles, downhill, no problem. We met at the bottom of the pass, which connects Wilson, Wyoming to Victor, Idaho and carpooled up to the top of the pass, which sits at 8425 feet of altitude. The hike down was about a 2000 ft. difference, through forest and amazing wildflowers. There were so many plants and wild flowers; at times they were as tall as me and if someone wasn’t leading the hike, I easily could have lost the trail! I have never hiked through a forest like this, along a hard running stream. Some of the flowers I saw and learned about were, Columbine, Indian Paintbrush, Monkshood, Cow Parsnip, Wild Carrot, Delphinium and the poisonous Red Baneberry plant which was used to make poisonous arrows. I also saw stands of Aspen, one of my favorite trees. At one stream crossing that was pretty big, we stopped to see how we were going to cross and when we looked up, there was a huge moose along with her baby staring at us on the other side of the stream, so cute, but the momma was so big, almost the size of a horse! The momma moose almost had her head cocked as if to say “what are you doing here and you better not come any closer!” Moose can be very dangerous, especially if they are protecting their babies. It was getting dark, and they were right on the trail across the river. I wasn’t sure how long we were going to have to wait there, but she soon moved down and off the trail. The hike down took us almost three hours. It was a great hike, one I will not soon forget and a great way to begin my hiking experiences here in Wyoming ????
