While Teton Valley is its own version of paradise, many residents like to hit the city from time to time. For some, this means heading to bustling coastal metropolises or international destinations.

Growing Things

Herding Heritage

Six generations of sheep-growers graze new paths forward

Familiar Faces

In the Swirl of Swope

It seems that lens woman Linda Swope has photographed it all: Brides perched on buckrail fences before a Teton backdrop. Professional basketball players tussling for the ball in San Antonio. Texas rodeo cowboys and cowgirls, college fraternity and sorority parties, meandering Teton Valley creeks, migrating sandhill cranes, and rocking Music on Main concerts.

Valley Voices

Field Notes
