Description
Many lasting American landmarks named by the early French, whether they're cities, mountains or rivers names, are found throughout America. Probably named by 19th century Wyoming trappers, the Gros Ventre (Grow Vaunt) is best known today for its incredible fly-fishing and wilderness beauty. In this scene the distant Teton Mountains provide an awesome background for this river scene.
A tributary of the Snake River, the 75 mile Gros Ventre rises in the Gros Ventre Wilderness and enjoys a Wild and Scenic River status, providing miles of remote fishing areas. Here in this wilderness corridor big game species include bighorn sheep, elk, black bear, and occasionally a mountain lion, grizzly bear and trumpeter swans.
