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...

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,...

You’ll Love Visiting Jackson Hole in Spring

If you’re wondering why Jackson Hole in spring is the best time to visit, the answer is simple: fewer crowds, active wildlife, and a quieter, more relaxed iteration of one of the West’s most iconic destinations. (And if you weren't wondering, well, you should have been.) Spring squeezes itself right on the edge of peak season. It's not quite summer and not quite winter, but it brings with it the best of both. Wildlife Wildlife is one of Jackson's biggest draws any time of the year...
