See

Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park
  • Jackson Hole Town Square — the central downtown area with restaurants and stores. Purchase your souvenirs here!
  • Grand Prismatic Spring + Grand Canyon of Yellowstone — for me, these were the highlights of visiting Yellowstone National Park
  • Jackson Hole Rodeo — such a unique and entertaining experience. We felt like we were truly in the Wild West.

Do

Told ya the T.A. Moulton Barn was a perfect photo op!
  • Jenny Lake Loop — a scenic and not-too-challenging hike. Plus, if you’re tired halfway along the trail, you can just take a boat ride back! We saw a moose along the way while hiking. Worth it.
  • Whitewater Rafting on the Snake River — We had so much fun doing it with this company. Our guide was awesome and told us funny stories along the way.
  • Astoria Hot Springs— the perfect way to unwind from all the hiking, rafting, and adventuring.
  • Million Dollar Cowboy Bar — a fun spot for drinks, live country music, and dancing. They play a little bit of fun club music, too!
  • T.A. Moulton Barn — most photographed location in Jackson Hole. Cool and unique. Perfect for photo ops.

Stay
