The Caribou-Targhee National Forest’s wildland fire crew has stepped in to assist the forest’s diminished trail crew with maintenance work in Teton Canyon.

That’s according to a map created by The Wilderness Society illustrating the vast swaths of public land eligible for sale under a proposed budget reconciliation provision being considered in the U.S. Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Davis later returned and pieced together that the elk had been hunted by wolves. It was lights, camera, action for Davis, who specializes in “camera traps” set on elusive animals.

Augusta Friendsmith was stopped at a red light when she realized a motion she was seeing on East Gros Ventre Butte was a mountain lion. She wasted no time hooking a right, parking her car and rolling up the windows. “I just grabbed my phone and started running,” she said.

Stio has released a shoe line that the company says it designed with Jackson Hole’s trails in mind. The shoes, called Ridgecaps, and their Jackson roots prompted the News&Guide to assemble and deploy its small but mighty gear-testing division — environmental reporter Christina MacIntosh and government reporter Charley Sutherland — to test out the trail sneakers.
