Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Jackson, Wyoming and the surrounding areas are simply stunning. Rising above a scene rich with extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes, and alpine terrain, the Teton Range stands as a monument to the people who fought to protect it. These are mountains of the imagination and they can be seen virtually anywhere from the Jackson Hole Valley floor. 

This workshop will start at the gateway to the West, Jackson, WY. After spending a day and night exploring the Old Town Square, we will make our way to the Turpin Meadow Ranch, our home base for the next 5 days. With its incredible views of the Grand Tetons, we will be able to photograph at our leisure as we have rented out the entire Ranch. Horseback riding, fly-fishing, searching for bison and wild mustangs, sunset shoots of Mormon Row and a Friday night real west live action rodeo in Dubois, this workshop has something for everyone.

FUN FACTS

The town of Jackson elected the first all female town council in 1920. Wyoming was also the first state in the country to allow women the right to vote, serve on juries, and hold public office. This is why Wyoming is known as the “Equality State”!

The four iconic antler arches on Jackson Hole town square each contain about 2,000 antlers and weigh almost 12,000 pounds!

One of the more interesting of the Grand Teton National Park Facts has to do with how the “Tetons” got their name. The naming of the Teton mountain range, also known as the Tetons, is not related to any sexual connotations. The name “Teton” is derived from the French word “tétons” which means “breasts” in English, but it was named by French trappers and explorers who were mapping the area in the late 1700s, who were inspired by the shape of the mountains and a vivid imagination. Those must have been some very horny Frenchmen!

Bridger-Teton National Forest is the largest National Forest in the continental United States. It comes in as a whopping 1.7 million acres. That’s bigger than Delaware!

Rodeo Clowns Were Not Always Just Entertainment. The intention behind having a rodeo clown is to keep the crowd entertained during times of delay in a rodeo event.Today’s rodeos typically have a rodeo clown, or funnyman, and separate bullfighters whose job is to help wrangle the bulls and protect the cowboys.
