3 Kids, 25 Miles: A Jackson Hole Biking Adventure, Part 2

Last week, we described the first half of our Jackson Hole biking odyssey with three small kids in tow. Equipped with two bikes, a bike seat, a trailer, lots of snacks, and a keen sense of optimism, we embarked from Jackson to Teton Village and back again. When we left off the tale, we'd just arrived at Teton Village to give the kids a chance to rest from all the resting they'd been doing in the bike trailer. After about half an hour of repose, it was time to get back on the road. The st...

3 Kids, 25 Miles: A Jackson Hole Biking Adventure, Part 1

Seven years ago, my wife and I set out to bike from Jackson to Teton Village and back. It's a nice, not-too-intimidating 25 miles or so. We completed it in an afternoon, grabbed some dinner, and settled in for a cozy night here at Flat Creek Inn. You can read about our biking adventure right here. But of course, we're not here to rehash an old blog post. Because we did it again this year ... only with three small kids in tow—ages 5, 3, and 1. Follow along on our adventure to discover how w...

(Also, the best season for birdwatching runs from June through September.) Here, the valley sits right along major migration routes, which means the bird population rotates like a seasonal cast of charac...

The Chronicles of Yellowstone Wolves

For thousands of years gray wolves roamed across the temperate and polar regions of North America. However, by the early 1900s, they had all but disappeared in the continental United States. Now wolves are once again thriving in Yellowstone National Park. This is their story--the chronicles of Yellowstone wolves. Gray wolves have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, living across the world in the Northern Hemisphere. As technological advances starting around the 16th century allowe...

Old West Days in Jackson Hole: You’re Gonna Love It

Jackson Hole goes all in. And nowhere is that more obvious than during Jackson Hole Old West Days, when the entire town leans hard into its cowboy-era roots for ten straight days. The 45th annual festival runs May 15–25, 2026, and, as usual, it’s equal parts history lesson, community gathering, and excuse to wear cowboy boots. Jackson Hole Old West Days isn’t just a collection of events—it’s a full-scale immersion into Western culture, complete with elk antlers, chili competitions,...
