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.

Long ago, intrepid pioneers and other Western trailblazers set out to tame uncharted wilderness. The dangers were always afoot—snakes, hostile natives, dysentery—but when times were good, they could always count on the dependable chime of the dinner bell to signal that it was time for some good-old trail-cooked chow. These days, you have the same opportunity, thankfully minus all the nasty parts, like the dysentery. One of the potential memories you’ll make as part of your Jackson Hole...
