HEART MOUNTAIN DAY HIKES
This Cody landmark is a wonderful place to enjoy a day of hiking. It is one of the greatest geological mysteries of North America. Protected by The Nature Conservancy, Heart Mountain Ranch also supports one of the greatest concentrations of rare plants ever discovered on private property in Wyoming. Many native mammals also are often seen here, particularly elk, mule deer and antelope. Jackson Hole Mountain Guides exclusively offers guided trips up Heart Mountain.
