Tom Angle, Cowboy
Howdy – my name is Tom Angle. It seems I’ve spent my life sitting on a horse for one reason or another. I’ve worked on some of the biggest ranches in the West, and operated my own ranches in northeast Oregon. I’ve also packed mules and guided hunters in northwest Wyoming. I’ll be giving you the history of the Snake Ranch as well as explaining the ins and outs of the cattle business. I have also been known to pick up a guitar and show you folks how cowboys have fun! I look forward to getting to know you, and to you getting to know my world.

Learn more about their habits and habitats on our drive amidst the Yellowstone wilderness, including a visit to must-see, glacially awesome, Mammoth Hot Springs. More fascinating wildlife insights round out your day when an expert park historian shares stories and sobering statistics about the interaction between wolves and grizzlies and men and their snowmobiles!

with craggy peaks, rugged canyons and glacial lakes that reflect every reason why you want to explore them. Undulating valleys, carpeted by sagebrush, cottonwood and aspens... rivers and ponds that provide homes for beaver, coyotes, moose, swans, eagles and more... and flat floors that invite bison and pronghorn to hoof it in view of the Culturious adventurer. Hop on a bike today to do more and see more with guides who make the intertwined history of man, mountain and beast come alive for you. You’ll be even more pumped up when you arrive at Jackson Lake Lodge for a two-night stay. Meals BD
5. A RAFT TRIP ON THE SNAKE RIVER The Snake River snakes its way in this part of the park without rapids, so today’s scenic float trip welcomes the Culturious with a relatively quiet calm. It’s the perfect silent setting for reflecting on the sights you may see along the way, from fishing osprey and eagles to moose and elk who often amble on the shore. The rest of the day is all yours – make it magic! Meals BD
6. A HIKE IN THE PARK
America’s backyard beckons on a hike with a local naturalist to places like Antelope Flats, at the foot of the Teton range, and Shadow Mountain, where staggering views of frosted peaks like the Three Sisters await. A change of pace this afternoon introduces you to the town of Jackson, gateway to cowboy country, and includes a visit to the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Lest you think this is an ordinary museum, think again: this sandstone marvel stands on a bluff amid a real wildlife habitat and overlooks
