Last night’s inaugural Ridgeview Pro Rodeo under the Teton sky was a night to remember. Proud of this community and grateful for the generosity of those who brought a PRCA rodeo to our small town.

Looking forward to night 2! TCISAR will be there to cover first aid needs and hand out FREE rodeo swag! Find us on the south end of the bleachers by the stage.

Also, if you’re attending the rodeo, check out our new Rapid Response truck generously funded by Teton Ridge Ranch Foundation! In moments when minutes matter most, this new vehicle shortens our response time.

TCISAR Responds to ATV Rollover Incident

At approximately 8:10 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, Teton County Idaho Search & Rescue (TCISAR) responded to a report of an ATV rollover involving a seriously injured individual near Packsaddle Lake.

Given the nature of the injuries and challenging access to the scene, TCISAR initiated a multi-agency response. TCISAR volunteers worked alongside Teton County Fire & Rescue and Air Idaho to locate, access, stabilize, and transport the patient from the incident site to a designated landing zone for air medical evacuation.

The response required seamless communication and coordination between ground and air resources. Through the combined efforts of TCISAR personnel, Teton County Fire & Rescue and the Air Idaho flight crew, the patient was successfully transferred for advanced medical care.

A total of 12 volunteer TCISAR members participated in the mission, dedicating nearly four hours from initial dispatch through demobilization.

We are grateful for the professionalism, expertise, and partnership demonstrated by our partners throughout this incident. Successful outcomes in remote emergencies depend on strong collaboration between agencies, and this response highlighted the value of those relationships.

Thank you to all responders who contributed their time, training, and commitment to serving our community.

Be bear aware


(News Release) On March 9, Yellowstone biologists working in the northern part of the park reported seeing the first grizzly bear of the spring season. The bear was observed in the backcountry scavenging on a bull bison carcass.

The first reported grizzly bear sighting of 2025 occurred on March 14. In 2024, it occurred on March 3, and in 2022 and 2023, March 7.

When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Bears may react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses. Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May.

All of Yellowstone is grizzly and black bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks and parking lots around Old Faithful. Protect yourself and bears by following our safety guidelines:
🐻Prepare for a bear encounter by carrying bear spray, knowing how to use it and making sure it’s accessible.
🐻Stay alert.
🐻Hike or ski in groups of three or more, stay on maintained trails and make noise. Avoid hiking at dusk, dawn or at night.
🐻Do not run if you encounter a bear.
🐻Stay 100 yards (91 m) away from black and grizzly bears. Approaching bears within 100 yards is prohibited. Use binoculars, a telescope or telephoto lens to get a closer look.
🐻Store food, garbage, barbecue grills and other attractants in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof food storage boxes.
🐻Report bear sightings and encounters to a park ranger immediately.
