Wyoming Offers To Sell Land To Grand Teton Park — Or Developers

"Under a chrome-colored sky ribboned by rainclouds, local outfitter Jake Hutton led a horseback tour of the Kelly Parcel, telling stories all the while.

“I got charged by a grizzly bear right here last spring,” said Hutton, who runs JH Outfitters in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. “She came barreling out of the trees and bluff charged for a second, stopped at 50 yards, stood up and growled, and then made up her mind and took off right after me again.”

Luckily, he outran the bear on his horse. His story illustrates how this land not far from the resort town of Jackson Hole is still untamed. It’s bordered on three sides by the Grand Teton National Park. Birds and butterflies cruise over the sloping hills of sagebrush and aspen groves at the feet of the jagged Grand Teton Mountains."
