Railroad Ranch Tour August 14, 2011

Owned by Union Pacific Railroad investors from 1902 to 1977, the park acreage served as a cattle ranch and private retreat of the Harriman and Guggenheim families. Today, Harriman State Park provides the perfect setting to enjoy the park's unique history in a beautiful natural setting. During the summer there are regular tours of the Railroad Ranch buildings, offered Saturdays at 10:30am and 2:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm. Tours will take place until August 31st. Fishing, hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking are other ways to experience the beauty of the area. Don't forget to bring your camera. There are breathtaking wild flower displays in the sage meadows and pasture land which dominate the landscape. Visitors often see elk, deer and moose, particularly in the morning and evening. The views of the Teton Mountain Range are spectacular.
