Path of the Pronghorn: A Migration Corridor“Up ahead is Path of the Pronghorn Turnout, where a short stop explains a much longer journey. Pronghorn spend summer on the Teton sagebrush flats, then migrate southeast through the Gros Ventre drainage toward Pinedale.”

Guide
This is a small roadside interpretive turnout beside sagebrush flats at the foot of the Teton Range. Its wayside panel explains the Path of the Pronghorn migration corridor. I’d stop briefly for the story and open meadow view; this is a quick context stop, not a guaranteed wildlife encounter. The site is described as wheelchair accessible, though the accessible route and surface details aren’t specified.
Pronghorn summer in sagebrush flats along the Tetons, then migrate southeast through the Gros Ventre drainage toward Pinedale. Roads and fences can obstruct the route. Pronghorn generally crawl under fences instead of jumping them, which helps explain why migration studies have guided efforts to protect this pathway.
Pronghorn can sprint up to 60 mph and sustain more than 40 mph for a mile. Bison use these meadows in summer too. Treat wildlife as a possible bonus, not a promise; the migration story still gives the stop a point when no animals are in view.
