Four Moose and Elk
I landed in Jackson Hole around 2:45 p.m. today. The airport is nestled in the valley between the mountains… it’s so incredibly beautiful. We drove 40 minutes back to Turpin Meadow Ranch. The drive alone was astounding… we went through Moose Alley, and the guy driving us told us a bunch of stories about the history behind Jackson Hole. I’ll have to write them all down sometime this summer.
We got back to the ranch and spent some time unpacking and resting. A little later, we drove to Diamond D Ranch… a subset of Turpin Meadow about 3 miles down the road. We saw four moose by the side of the road on the way there, not to mention numerous herds of elk along the way. We even saw some huge osprey nests as well, along with a couple hawks that were flying low.Â
I can hardly believe that I’m here. The vast majority of the horses aren’t here yet… they’re still grazing in a pasture about an hour and a half back up the valley. We should be driving up there in a couple days to herd them back down.
