See the Starry Skies in Teton Country

You would be surprised the way the night sky glows when you get away from the ambient light of the city. At the ranch, enjoying the night beauty above us is easy and the constellations that you can see from the ranch grounds are vast. We’re nearby one of the largest road-free areas in the lower 48 states, which means our dark sky location is a prime star gazing territory. Wondering what the night sky looks like tonight? Try out one of these apps to explore the night sky:

1. Pocket Universe: Virtual Sky Astronomy
2. Star Tracker Lite- Night Sky Map for Star Gazing
3. Star Chart

If you are interested in what’s happening in the sky this evening, visit our lodge and chat with our staff who can recommend some great places to go and star gaze at the ranch an the surrounding wilderness.
