Witness the Tetons in their best fall dress where rampaging large ungulates (elk, bison, moose, etc.), release their fall passion with grunts, bugles, and a nasty disposition. Fall migrating birds along with winter residents will add to the fun. Several hikes combined with auto tours will be included, and a visit to the Teton Science School Murie Museum. We will be camping at Gros Ventre campground, so bring your own food & gear. RSVP by contacting Jack Greene: 435-764-4815 or jackisgreene@yahoo.com

Signed waivers required for all participants. Complete form, print results and bring printed waiver to meeting point.

Car pool from USU Aggie Ice Cream parking lot at 10 am. We will be camping at Gros Ventre campground, so bring your own food & gear. The cost is $15/night/person for the group campsite plus donating whatever is fair to the driver (unless you’re driving!)
