Riley Basecamp
Description
This 1900 SF home is Basecamp for the Riley family. It is the best example of what the owner Adam Riley believes in and has learned about sustainable building in the Tetons over the past 25 years. Our climbing and skiing adventures start in the gear room and end beside the fire in the Tulikivi masonry heater and bake oven.
