Overview

The Gros Ventre Slide is a large geological scar marking the side of Sheep Mountain, seven miles east of Jackson Hole Valley. This impressive area has some truly unique geological features and a collage of colorful rocks vastly different from the granite of the Tetons. While the slide path and debris is worth a visit just to see, visitors also enjoy fishing, boating and swimming in Lower Slide Lake and hiking through the area.

In 1925, a major slump broke off the north face of Sheep Mountain, carrying 50,000,000 cubic yards of rock and soil and damming the Gros Ventre River and creating five-mile long Lower Slide Lake just upstream of Kelly. Two years later, an unusually wet winter and spring flooded the natural dam with enough water to break part of the dam, flooding and destroying Kelly and killing six people.  Location The Gros Ventre Slide is just east of the National Elk Refuge in the Gros Ventre Mountains. To get to the Gros Ventre Slide area and Slide Lake, follow Gros Ventre Road 6.5 miles east of Kelly.
