Golf in Ashton

Ashton sits at the western edge of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Fremont County, positioned as a gateway to Yellowstone and Island Park at around 5,250 feet elevation on the volcanic Snake River Plain. The Henry's Fork of the Snake River flows nearby—one of the most celebrated dry-fly fishing streams in the American West—drawing anglers from across the country throughout the summer season. Ashton's economy mixes high-elevation agriculture, specifically seed potatoes grown on the volcanic plateau, with tourism serving the Yellowstone corridor that channels visitors northward toward the national park. The nearby Mesa Falls, hidden in lodgepole forest north of town, rank among Idaho's most scenic and least-visited natural features—a waterfall series that rewards the drive.
