Record Low Temperatures Forecast For Island Park
If you haven’t winterized your cabin yet, it just might be too late. Temperatures have been unseasonably cold for the last week and a half or so, but what was bad is going to take another dramatic turn for the worse. Forecast lows for the next couple of nights in Island Park are near zero. [...]
It’s Cattle Drive Season In Island Park
With this week’s snow storms and colder temperatures (highs in the 30′s) cattlemen are calling it a summer. It’s common now and will be for the next couple of weeks to see cowboys on horseback scouring the mountain valleys and high meadows for their cattle. After finding them, they bunch them up and drive them [...]

It’s like stepping back in time about 3,000 years. The sounds are prehistoric. I remember by first foray into Harriman in October. It was crisp [...]

This week’s loop has spectacular views and somewhat less dirt road than last week’s installment. For lack of a better name, I’m going to call this loop the Black Canyon Loop. [...]
Makin’ The Loop
Somewhere inside me is a frustrated explorer. I have an insatiable need to know what’s around the next bend in the river. It’s not enough to know where it comes out. I want to see it for myself. It’s been that way since moving to Island Park a few years ago. I have been on [...]
Mesa Falls Marathon This Saturday
The Mesa Falls marathon will begin this Saturday first thing in the morning, and if you want to participate, you need to register by Thursday. You can do the marathon (which is from Mesa Falls to Ashton,) a half marathon, a 5k, or a one mile family run. Or, if you’re like me, you can [...]
