Native American hunting parties from the northern Rocky Mountains camped along the shore of Jackson Lake around 12,000 years ago while following game. For thousands of years Jackson Hole was used as a neutral crossroads for trade and travel routes in the area. One route followed the Snake River to its source in the Yellowstone area. Another major route traversed the Teton Pass at the southern end of the range, providing a shortcut to the Pacific Northwest region. Yet another southern route led to the Colorado Plateaus region and the Great Basin.
I used this picture also as it shows a Ranch House that Cowboys would usually live in. Its not surprising to have the scenery of the mountains around them especially if they rear Horses and Cattle on the Ranch. They would keep the Horses and Cattle at the Ranch surrounded by open land for them to roam on.
