Star Valley
|
Star Valley, Wyoming is approximately 14 miles wide and 50 miles long. It is on the western edge of the state adjacent to Idaho. It is surrounded by Bridger-Teton, Caribou, and Targhee National Forests. Altitudes range from 5600 to 7000 feet with the mountains rearing to over 10,000. Three major Wyoming rivers- the Salt, the Grey's and the Snake meet to form the Palisades Reservoir which along with many streams and small mountain lakes provides ample fishing for Cutthroat trout, German browns, Brookies, Rainbows and Mackinaw. The reservoir also provides boating, water skiing and jet skiing while the Snake River has white water rafting and kayaking. Big game, including elk, moose, Mule deer, bear and mountain lion are abundant in this area. Geese, ducks, Sandhill cranes, Trumpeter swans and grouse also enjoy the valley. |

Winter sports are very popular and include downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding, snowmaching, ice fishing and cutter racing.
