Description
This Palomino was part of a herd that grazed on the Elk Flats Ranch, a former cattle ranch in what is now Grand Teton National Park. The ranch was part of the land purchased by J.D. Rockefeller as part of his plan to acquire property in the area for donation to expand what would become Grand Teton National Park. It continued to be used as a cattle ranch until 1950, when it was finally turned over to the National Park Service. Today the ranch is usually frequented by bison and elk, although in the summer it is still leased out to grazing by horses from a private ranch.
