Inspired by Laura and Greg s wedding in breathtaking Grand Teton National Park that we featured this morning, and my own time there last summer, I wanted to share a few of the many wonderful things to do in the area. When I was there, I was blown away by the number of honeymooners hiking, rafting, dining - even playing in the snow in July! This popular destination has it all - amazing scenery, outdoor activities, luxury accomodations and gourmet restaurants to fill you up after a long day of adventures in the pristine Tetons.
used cars in los angeles Grand Teton National Park is adjacent to Jackson Hole (the valley and resort area) and Jackson (the quaint used cars in los angeles downtown area just down the road from the ski slopes). used cars in los angeles I love how you can feel miles away from civilization at the park, and return to a luxurious hotel and great restaurant for the evening. Of course, there are plentiful camping opportunities as well! Below are some of my favorite area attractions and accomodations.
had not seen MOUNTAINS! The Tetons are majestic, sharp, and towering; not to mention teeming used cars in los angeles with wildlife. There are easy ways to adventure out into the great outdoors, and big, backcountry hikes for more entrepid souls. But even driving through this beautiful area, you can t miss those peaks nor the lush valleys and sparkling lakes that surround them. And if you see a crowd of cars, pulled over? Join them and ask what they see! It s exactly how I managed to watch a mother grizzly and her two cubs doing somersaults. From my safe vantage point, they were like living teddy bears, and a sight I will never forget.
Hike the Jenny Lake Trail to Inspiration Point - watch for wildlife along the way! On the Moose Ponds portion used cars in los angeles of the trail I saw - what else - a mother moose and her baby snacking on willows in a bog. Along the way I also spotted marmots, birds, ground squirrels, and brilliant wildflowers.
Ride the Jackson Hole Aerial Tram from Teton Village to the top of the Jackson Hole Resort. If you are skiing, this is how you get on the slopes. But in the summer, it offers spectacular views of alder groves and wildlife as you gain over 4,000 vertical feet in 12 minutes. You can stay as long as you d like at the top, but do bring a sweater. We played in the snow on July 4th! Locals recommend grabbing a waffle and hot chocolate at one of the restaurants at the top.
Whitewater Rafting on the Snake River - some of the more adventurous in our group did this last year, and the thrill seekers had the time of their lives! Contact Jackson Hole Whitewater , Mad River , or Dave Hansen Whitewater Scenic Rafting to plan your adventure !
While my friends were enjoying adrenaline overload, I took my land-loving self to the National Museum of Wildlife Art , just outside Jackson. Unlike any other, the museum has over 5,000 pieces from more than 550 artists all featuring animals of some sort. I ve spent a lot of time in museums, and this one made my top-3 list!
Other popular summer activities include fishing, canoeing, and mountain biking. In the winter, the slopes rule! Dog sledding tours and cross-country skiing are a great way to enjoy the snowy scenery at a slower pace.
Leek s Pizza - If you are in the park and need a break from camp food or national park dining rooms, Leek s is the place for great pizza. used cars in los angeles Located inside used cars in los angeles of Grand Teton National Park, Leek s is busy and bustling, and you ll feel like you re a local while eating used cars in los angeles a hot, cheesy pie in the rustic dining room.
Couloir Restaurant - Located at the summit of the Jackson Hole ski area/tram, Couloir offers a serious view served up with locally sourced and seasonal dishes. Their signature specialties are house smoked tenderloin of buffalo and a dessert tasting.
Snake River Grill - Offering an almost completely organic menu, the Snake River Grill offers upscale mountain dining. Think local trout, elk chops, juicy steaks; potatoes seasoned with local ramps and artisan ricotta. I think I m hungry.
Wild Sage at The Rusty Parrot used cars in los angeles Lodge - An award-winning restaurant, located in downtown Jackson at an award-winning luxury lodge . Wild Sage is intimate and cozy with a massive river rock fireplace used cars in los angeles and seating for just 32. Meals are memorable and fascinating, as you ll dine with a full view of the exhibition used cars in los angeles kitchen.
To Stay: Amangani - Amangani used cars in los angeles means Peaceful used cars in los angeles Home . With magnificent view of the Tetons and the Snake River valley, and modern yet warm decor, I can t imagine how you wouldn t find peace at Amangani. Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole - I don t know if I have to say much; The Four Seasons does a pretty amazing job with all of their properties. Their Jackson Hole outpost does rustic with huge doses of elegance and luxury mixed in.
Rustic Inn - Located on several acres, just blocks from downtown Jackson Hole, and adjacent to the National Elk Refuge, the Rustic Inn offers a luxurious lodge and lavishly appointed cabins that are far from rustic!
I truly loved the week I spend in the Tetons, and the perfect blend of rustic natural beauty and elegant luxury the area offers. We d love to hear about your favorite Teton haunts if you ve been lucky enough to visit. Drop us a note!
