If you've been to Yellowstone or the areas around Jackson, Wyoming, you've seen some of the most beautiful sights in North America. But if you prefer a more personal, less crowded mountain experience, there's a hidden valley just off the well-worn tourist path only 35 miles south of Jackson Hole.
The Undiscovered Jackson Fork
Now known as the Upper Hoback Valley - after the Hoback River that runs through it - this hidden treasure is home to migrating deer, elk, pronghorn, as well as raptors and other birds, all of whom peacefully coexist with a resident herd of bison. The valley was pioneer Davey Jackson's first trapping "hole" back in the 1800s, dubbed Little Jackson Hole after he settled in the much larger Jackson Hole to the north. But while our valley can be called little when you compare its size to its better known neighbour to the north, when it comes to natural beauty, the place is huge.
The Undiscovered Jackson Fork
Among other things, Little Jackson Hole is home to The Lodge at Jackson Fork Ranch. This is your base camp to a wonderland of breathtaking vistas, magnificent wildlife, and unspoiled wilderness. A retreat in the middle of what is now a federally-protected icon of Western landscape that will be forever preserved for hunting, fishing, and recreation.
