Jackson Hole – Grand Teton National Park
Glacial lakes, jagged peaks and migrating elk define the landscape in the Teton Valley. The “off-season” in Jackson is short, lasting only the month of April but it remains a fantastic time to visit. Although the ski resorts have just closed and the park roads are not yet open to motorized vehicles, the majestic peaks and broad valleys are in full glory. The weather can be a bit a fickle this time of year. We descended into Jackson in a driving snowstorm only to wake up the next day to sunny to sixty degrees.
Bringing some snow into town
It’s a great time for deep hotel and dining discounts in town. We enjoyed the historic Wort Hotel and their classic Silver Dollar Bar. Just outside of town, the National Elk Refuge protects the southern reaches of their winter migration route and huge herds (>3000 head) can still be seen. And of course, the showpiece of the valley, Grand Teton National Park, which happens to be one of my favorite places on the planet. The tranquility and splendor of this region always warrant a stop, regardless of the season.
