The Sheep Eaters hunted the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep; they did not raise them. There are two "jumps" in this area where big game animals were stampeded over the cliff and dispatched.

This sow, called by some "Beryl" because of her proximity to Beryl Springs, lost her two coys by the boar who then proceeded to court and breed her.

This was Stippy Wolff's guest ranch, established in the 1940's. I think about half of the cabins are now gone and the rest....... The park complains about a lack of housing for employees but lets good housing deteriorate to the point of no return.

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.

This old building is part of the Taylor homestead and the site was used for some shots in the movie. The cabin that was built specifically for the movie is now in the town of Jackson behind the archaeology center of the historical museum on Mercill Street.
