DAY ONE: ARRIVE IN JACKSON HOLE

Stay: Hotel Jackson

After checking in, walk around the quaint town and enjoy wine and tapas at Bin 22.

Go shopping! There are so many cute shops, you can easily walk the town square and take a peek at most of them. We purchased cowboy hats, which are a must!

Dinner: Coelette 

DAY TWO: SKIING IN TETON VILLAGE

Ski or Snowboard at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort! Even if you are not an avid skier there are plenty of fun things to do in the tiny town of Teton Village.

Breakfast: Ride to the top of the mountain on the gondola and have waffles at Corbet’s Cabin.

Enjoy the mountain! If you are not a skier, walk around the little shops or schedule a spa day at the Four Seasons.

Lunch: Make reservations prior and ride the gondola to Piste Mountain Bistro. The views are extortionary!

Apres Ski: Mangy Moose or The Handle Bar. I personally prefer Mangy Moose, more of a relaxed ski bum vibe.

After a long day of skiing, take a dip in the hot tub at Hotel Jackson. The hot tub sits close to the top of the hotel with stunning views of the mountain.

Late Dinner: Glorietta. This restaurant is SO tasty. The mozzarella sticks are to die for.

Night Cap: Silver Dollar Bar & Grill at the Wort Hotel

DAY THREE: DOG SLEDDING

Breakfast: Persephone Bakery. This quaint bakery has a delicious menu, I recommend getting a pot of tea with your meal!

Dog Sledding to the Hot Springs. There are a few different options here, you can make it a full or half-day event. We opted for the full day of dog sledding to the Granite Hot Springs.

Mel’s Note: Make sure you are aware of the Dog Sledding cancellation policy, they can be pretty strict.

Happy Hour Drinks: FIGS at Hotel Jackson

Dinner: The Kitchen

Live Music & Night Out: Millionaire Cowboy Bar. This is a Jackson Hole staple!

DAY FOUR: WILDLIFE SAFARI

After a late night out at Millionaire Cowboy Bar, sleep in and then enjoy a hardy brunch at Cafe Geneive.

The highlight of my trip was the Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari Tour. The Grand Teton National Park is truly breathtaking, our guide Peter was AMAZING!! The Safari company did an excellent job all around, we did the late afternoon half-day tour and it felt like just enough time to see all the animals. The guide is so knowledgeable you learn quite a lot about the wildlife and the local area.

Dinner: Snake River Grill

TRAVEL TIPS FOR JACKSON HOLE

• Make reservations at all restaurants and bars if possible. The town is very small and touristy. We made reservations almost two months in advance at some places.
• No need to rent a car, Hotel Jackson offers a free car service to and from the mountain which is a huge money saver. They also offer rides to and from the airport.
