Why Go?
Outside the park boundaries, the landscape doesn't turn dull - it continues the rampage of
beauty with cold clear rivers, winding single tracks and steep powder runs. One of the best
times to visit this region is in winter, when Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee serve up deep,
pillowy snow to ride. Lodges light roaring fires and the wilderness becomes a haven for
dogsledding, snowshoeing, ski touring and winter fun.
Posh and popular Jackson serves as the regional hub and base camp, where you can
browse for Western baubles, down pints of fresh organic lager or wrap yourself in honey
and rose petals. The foodie scene is one of the best in the West, with an emphasis on local,
farm-raised food. On the Idaho side, rural Teton Valley is another world. If you have come
to embrace every scrap of solitude, a trip west across the divide might be in order.
