Elk rutting, or mating, season in Jackson Hole begins in September. Elk have begun their move down from higher mountain elevations to the valleys and meadows. Males will prove their power and status and try to impress females through their loud and distinctive bugle or mating call. Listen closely for it—the best time is at dusk—during your outdoor treks!

Keep your eyes peeled at this time of the year for caterpillars. This tussock moth feeds on hardwoods during the fall then overwinters in a cocoon. The tufts of hair on this caterpillar give it the common name of tussock. This caterpillar will turn into a tiger moth which is a drab color so not as eye-catching as this bright larval stage.

August is berry season! There are lots of edible varieties to taste if you can properly identify them. Serviceberry, pictured here, is a favorite for both birds and bears. Native Americans would also gather them as a sweet treat. 🫐

Fireweed keeps coloring the meadows of Jackson Hole a beautiful shade of pink. Named for its ability to spread quickly after a fire burn, a single firewood plant produces an average of 80,000 seeds, more than 5 times what a dandelion can produce!

Bison forage for grass and leafy plants about 10 hours each day. They are attracted to recently burned areas where grasses establish before other plants, thus improving flora diversity by encouraging a variety of plants to grow.

While sharing the trail with our clients, we saw a group using llamas to carry their gear into the mountains. Llamas are well-suited for long treks and hikes thanks to their padded feet. This gives them an advantage over hooved animals like horses and mules on steep, rocky paths. This is a great option for backcountry travel, allowing you to still walk but lighten your load.

August is traditionally the hottest month of the year in Jackson Hole. Recent heat has been a challenge for all, but flowers—like the fireweed pictured—continue to bloom and nice blossoms can be found at around 9,000 feet.

Check out our Story Highlights and read more about August weather expectations and fun, local trail suggestions in this month’s edition of Nature News.

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means a waste of time.” — John Lubbock
