Jones Hole Fish Hatchery.

We braved the icy roads and made the 40 mile trip to hike the "Jones Hole Creek Trail" first thing Friday morning.  Upon our arrival, we were surprised to see the fish hatchery allowed visitors so we checked it out.  Hatchery info here.

Thousands of fish!

Inside.

Really neat 1960s era building.

The facility is fed from a natural spring capable of delivering 54 degree water up to 15,000 gallons per minute!
