There’s no shortage of Easter celebrations and egg hunts around Sublette County this weekend. Here’s a round-up of what’s planned.
The Leona M. and Harry B.

The purpose of the seasonal closure is to minimize human disturbance to migrating mule deer in the spring and fall. In collaboration with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, the Pinedale Ranger District decided to implement a no-human presence closure from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30 and from April 1 through April 30, in a crucial area along the Sublette Mule Deer Migration Route which was designated by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
For the first time in its history, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has a formal plan in place for managing the state’s 21 winter elk feedgrounds. The 96-page document allows for changes to feedgrounds that could avert the worst consequences of an ugly disease that’s ramping up — a sickness that scientists expect will devastate Northwest Wyoming’s six fed elk herds in the long term if feeding continues. Notably, the plan does not compel reform or call for closing feedgrounds, but it does open the door for wholesale changes to the system of feeding elk that’s been in place for a century.
Billionaire Joe Rickett’s proposed luxury resort in the rural Hoback Basin near Bondurant is moving forward with the necessary building permit from Sublette County and plans to break ground later this spring or summer. The permit authorizes the construction and development of The Homestead 20-unit resort with an attached underground day spa and a 90-seat fine dining restaurant.
The Drift 100 overall winner has always been a male biker, until this year when Shalane Frost, a 35-year-old woman from Fairbanks Alaska, crossed the finish line in first place on her skies in only 23:21:36. The second-place overall finisher was male biker Edyn Teitge, who at age 14 is the youngest athlete to ever complete the marathon. The teen from Hailey, Idaho completed the race in 23:55. Pulling into third place on her bike was Ginny Robbins, from Victor, Idaho. No stranger to The Drift 100, Robbins is now the first athlete to finish the race in each of the three divisions and place first in each discipline.
