Very good photos, Jim. Too bad, but it definitely didn't work out for someone.
Times change and people move on...sad but good for us as it is now part of the GTNP. Thanks for the comments and stopping by, John!!

This is the original site for the Elk Ranch, filed on 160 acres in 1909. After two successive owners, the ranch had expanded to more than 3600 acres and was the most successful cattle ranch in Jackson Hole. (this included the property which is now called Elk Ranch Flats, or just referred to as buffalo flats). In 1929 the property was sold to the Snake River Land Company (Rockefeller) and ultimately became part of Grand Teton National Park. Cattle operations continued until the late 1970's. The Park Service has removed the corrals and fencing and continues to allow the buildings to deteriorate. There is a great stone spring house in the willows to the east of the buildings, but difficult to photograph.

Many, many thanks for this info!! Appreciate you stopping by with this update as I have asked tour guides passing through this site and guides from the Teton Science School (?) and none knew this history info!! I have another set from the ranch at the beginning of the Elk Flat Road just south of this entrance that I will post in a day or two. Thanks again, Tsaannapunni!!
