A Look Into The Wildlife Highways Audio Tour
Path of the Pronghorn
“The big, lone hill east of here is Blacktail Butte. On its backside is something very special: the Path of the Pronghorn. In 2008 this became the first federally designated migration corridor. Our local pronghorn population spends summers in Grand Teton National Park. Pronghorn are a small, graceful, tan and white animal with forked horns and distinctive black–and–white facial markings. They aren’t very tall – they only weigh around 100 pounds, so it’s essential that they hightail it outta here each fall before the snow gets too deep for them to move. Every autumn, about 500 pronghorn travel 125 miles from the park southeast over mountain passes and rivers, to the Green River Valley south of Pinedale, in one of the longest mammal migrations in the lower 48. Fawns born the previous spring learn the route to and from their winter home from their mothers – a route passed from generation to generation for thousands of years. In the spring, these animals head north again, on the exact same route.”
