Natural Features
The Gros Ventre Campground is situated in a tranquil setting with incredible views of Blacktail Butte and the Grand Teton Mountain Range. Within walking distance is the Gros Ventre River, which runs through forests, cliffs, and narrow canyons. This area is known for its remarkable fly fishing and photography opportunities.
Gros Ventre is home to elk, moose, mule deer, bighorn sheep, wolves, black and grizzly bears, and more. Bears are often seen on trails and in the developed areas. Being prepared for an animal encounter can help ensure your safety as well as that of the wildlife that call this spectacular area home.
Recreation
Grab your fly fishing rod and take a short walk down to the Gros Ventre River. Or, if you prefer, our experienced guides offer private guided fly fishing down the famous and scenic Snake River.
The Gros Ventre area is a prime location for wildlife watching and photography. Walk along the banks of the river under cottonwood trees and willows to capture that perfect photo of a beaver, moose, elk, bison, or bears. (Be sure to maintain appropriate distance!) Located a short drive away is Mormon Row, featuring the iconic and historic John Moulton barn.
Blacktail Butte Trail is a 7.3-mile, moderately trafficked out and back trail, located near Gros Ventre which features beautiful wildflowers, sage brush, and lodgepole pine.
