Run your heart out in Jackson Hole
If you’re going to run until your feet stiffen into senseless slabs of hamburger, you may as well do it somewhere pretty. At least that’s the idea behind the Jackson Hole Marathon, which occurred this month. We at Flat Creek Inn have done a marathon or two, so you can trust us when we say this one is a great opportunity to experience 26.2 miles of voluntary agony. If you’ve never done a marathon, let us lay it down for you: you get up at some unnatural hour and hop on a bus, which will ...

Day Four: Biking and Fish Hatchery
Day Four: I woke up this morning super excited to go biking. But first, we had breakfast at The Virginian. We shared a big, soft, delicious cinnamon roll.

Almost everything in Jackson is expensive,...

Day Three: Cody and Mormon Row
DAY Three: Today we did Cody and Mormon Row. In the morning, we went to the Buffalo Bill Museum, $19 per adult. The museum was cool, but we especially enjoyed the Old Trail Town. Cost is $9 per adult. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid actually frequented the buildings in this collection of old cabins. Jeremiah Johnson's grave is also there. My husband loves the movie Jeremiah Johnson, so he was pretty impressed to see the grave there. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFLwH-ZZ1MY...

Day Two: National Parks
DAY TWO. This continues my series on a perfect Jackson vacation. Today was all about National Parks. Teddy Roosevelt has always been my favorite President because he created the first National Parks. Grand Teton and Yellowstone are special places. They are so pristine, unique, and well cared-for. I feel lucky to live so close to a place that people come from all over the world to see. We woke up to this beautiful view of Sleeping Indian and the Elk Refuge. This is the best lodging view in Ja...
