Jagged granite peaks rising abruptly above lakes and the sagebrush valley of Jackson Hole, just south of Yellowstone. Take the boat across Jenny Lake and hike to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. Watch for moose at Oxbow Bend and the famous barns of Mormon Row.


Jackson is a lively Western town with ski resorts.
