For decades, Grizzly 399 captivated wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, conservationists, and countless admirers from around the world. Widely recognized as the most famous grizzly bear in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, 399 became a symbol of resilience, motherhood, and the enduring spirit of the Tetons. Her remarkable life story transformed her from a local icon into a legend of the American West.
Join us for a truly extraordinary opportunity as Edison House hosts the first public viewing of the monumental bronze sculpture honoring her legacy. Created by renowned wildlife artist Jocelyn Russell, the 1,500-pound work will be unveiled in Salt Lake City before making its permanent journey to Jackson Hole.
For one evening only, guests will have the opportunity to experience the sculpture up close, hear the story behind its creation, and meet the artist responsible for bringing one of the West’s most beloved figures to life. Equal parts art exhibition, conservation story, and tribute to the wild places that continue to inspire us, this promises to be a rare and unforgettable experience.
