We're heading into the weekend like we're crossing the Falls River in southern Yellowstone.

Have you ever hiked from any of the trailheads off Grassy Lake Road? Have a favorite?

Wildflower of the week: Bear-grass

Bear-grass is in the lily family, which contains 478 species in North America and approximately 4,200 species worldwide distributed mostly in the tropics.

It is between 3 to five feet tall and the flowers are slightly fragrant.

The species grows from near sea level to over 6,600 feet in open coniferous woods, dry ridges, rocky slopes, and clearings. It ranges over a wide geographic area in western North America extending from British Columbia south to California's Sierra Nevada and Coast Range and east from Alberta to northwest Wyoming.

Native Americans have long used Bear-grass for a variety of purposes. Leaves were used for basket weaving, leaf fibers for clothing, and the rhizomes roasted for food. Eastern prairie tribes boiled the roots for a hair tonic and the treatment for sprains. Elk and deer forage on the flower stalks. Grizzly bears have been known to use bear-grass leaves in winter dens during hibernation.

Last year, the U.S. Senate declared July 26 the National Day of the American Cowboy.

Sadly, this year this day falls at the same time as the Teton County Fair, which means that the Jackson Hole Rodeo is on a short break. The rodeo is back July 29 (and 31), though.



Started in 2005 by U.S. Sen. Craig Thomas, R-Wyo., the National Day of the American Cowboy traditionally coincides each year with Cheyenne Frontier Days, which was founded 125 years ago and runs for 10 days from the end of July to the start of August. It’s considered the world’s largest outdoor rodeo.

In the heat of July it's hard to imagine Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are ever buried beneath 10+ feet of snow.

Some days call for rapids. Others, a quiet float.

In Jackson, you don’t have to choose; tackle the Snake’s whitewater thrill one day, then drift the Gros Ventre under open skies the next. It’s summer adventure, river-style.

And when you’re ready to dry off, White Buffalo Club is your calm after the current.

Book your Jackson getaway before summer slips downstream.
