About the Valley
Teton Valley, Idaho—located along the western slope of the Tetons within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem— has a rich history and abundant wildlife. Inhabited for over 11,000 years, the valley—once known as Pierre’s Hole—was a key site for Native American tribes and early trappers like John Colter. It hosted the Rocky Mountain Fur Rendezvous and the 1832 Battle of Pierre’s Hole. Homesteaders arrived in the late 1800s, drawn by fertile soils and ample water, laying the foundation for the valley’s enduring agricultural roots. Today, Teton Valley remains a rural stronghold, offering exceptional hunting for elk, deer, moose, and upland birds, as well as access to vast public lands. Its blend of natural beauty, recreation, and heritage continues to attract both residents and outdoor enthusiasts.

Grand Targhee Resort and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort offer world-class skiing just a short drive from Sundown Ranch. Grand Targhee, located 30 minutes from the ranch gate, is renowned for its deep powder, once proudly claiming, “snow from heaven, not from hoses,” and offers a laid-back, family friendly atmosphere. An hour away, Jackson Hole is celebrated for its challenging terrain, iconic tram, and lively base village. Together, these resorts provide unparalleled access to year-round recreation, making the region a highly sought-after destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Fishing the Teton
The Sundown Ranch features over 1.5 miles of private Teton River frontage, where the river braids through the property, creating a dynamic landscape of private islands, deep pools, undercut banks, and wadable riffles. The river’s natural gradient across the ranch supports a thriving fishery, providing ideal habitat for both large brown trout and native Yellowstone Cutthroat trout, some exceeding 20 inches in length.

The Teton River is the last major free-flowing river in eastern Idaho— an increasingly valuable resource in the modern West. Originating high in the Teton Mountains, the river winds through 81 miles of stunning terrain before merging with the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River north of Rexburg.

Its lifeblood flows from Fox Creek, Teton Creek, and Leigh Creek— three pristine tributaries that deliver cold mountain runoff, supporting critical spawning grounds, healthy riparian ecosystems, and vital groundwater recharge. These conditions foster a vibrant and resilient fishery, long treasured by conservationists and anglers alike. This stretch of the Teton River is a classic meadow stream, highly sought after by dry fly fishermen who enjoy the visual experience of spotting and casting to rising trout. The Sundown Ranch’s private river frontage offers unmatched seclusion and exclusivity, while nearby public access points along a 20-mile valley stretch accommodate both wade and drift boat anglers, further solidifying the region’s reputation as a premier Western fishery.
