are 14 campgrounds within a 15-mile radius of downtown. Among the closest to town
is the
Curtis Canyon Campground
(Flat Creek Rd., 7 miles northeast of Jackson, 307/

, late May-late Sept., $12), which offers phenomenal views
of the Tetons, immediate access to the National Elk Refuge, and terrific mountain hiking
trails.
For more information on specific public campgrounds, contact the

As a rule, every day in Jackson should start with a trip to
The Bunnery

Cache Dr., 307/734-0075,
www.bunnery.com
, 7am-3pm daily year-round, 5pm-9pm Tues.-
Sat. summer, $6.50-9). The food is entirely made from scratch and utterly scrumptious.
The baked goods—including their trademark OSM (oats, sunflower, millet) bread and
homemade granola—are beyond compare, and the enormous and diverse menu offers
plenty of healthy options as well as a few decadent ones. The “Get Your Buns in Here”
bumper stickers are also good for a laugh. Be prepared to wait, however; The Bunnery is
well loved by visitors and locals alike.
