Hoback River Valley

A Living Wyoming River

The Hoback River is a celebrated tributary of the Snake River, threading the floor of a narrow mountain canyon south of Jackson. This real-time view frames the river's braided channels and gravel bars as the water moves through one of Wyoming's most scenic valleys.

Canyon and Conifer Forest

Flanking the stream, dense lodgepole and spruce forest climbs the steep canyon walls, while a serrated ridgeline rises along the horizon. The camera captures the layered relief of a classic Rocky Mountain river corridor.

Wildlife and Recreation

The Hoback corridor is prized for fly fishing, whitewater rafting, and as habitat for elk, moose, and trout. The river runs alongside US-191, a gateway route into Grand Teton country.
