Highlights
Outing Highlights
Glacier‑fed freestone water
The Green and New Fork are glacier‑fed freestone rivers reached about 45 miles from the Teton Troutfitters shop; their colder flows and structure make them prime habitat for trout and give the day a distinct alpine character.
A full complement of native and wild trout
These rivers hold all the region's trout species — rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat — offering varied tactics and targets through the season.
Wind River Range vistas and wildlife
The approach to the rivers drops you into broad views of the Wind River Range and, at times, grazing antelope along the road down to the water.
