About this property

Pierre's Hole is a shallow valley in the western United States in eastern Idaho, just west of the Teton Range in neighboring Wyoming. With an elevation over 6,000 feet (1,830 m) above sea level, it collects the headwaters of the Teton River, and was a strategic center of the fur trade of the northern Rocky Mountains. The nearby Jackson's Hole area in Wyoming is on the opposite side of the Tetons. Traversed by state highway 33, the valley in Teton County is now known as Teton Basin or Teton Valley. In 1984, it was designated a historic place as the site of the infamous events in the Battle of Pierre's Hole (below), following the well-attended Rendezvous in July 1832.
