Today, I got up, ate breakfast and headed south to the Tetons. My first stop, besides a few photo ops, was the Jackson Lake Lodge, which is a historic landmark. It also has beautiful views of the Tetons from its big upper lobby—as well as wifi. I hung around long enough to do my electronic business and got back on the road.
I took the roads that stuck close to the mountains, which took me to Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake. Lots and lots of stops and photography. Then I followed a back road to Teton Village/Jackson Hole Resort. These people aren’t like us. Full makeup and western-chic clothing. Porsches, Ferraris, Audis. I haven’t worn makeup for daysJ. I was hoping to ride the gondola to the top of the mountain for the views, but it closed about half an hour before I got there. Seems like the “residents” would want to see sunset from up there. So I just gawked at the plush restaurants and chalets and left.
I drove into Jackson just as the sun was setting, and I had a nice walk around the square area. Lots of touristy restaurants and shops. LOTS of higher-end art galleries. But overall a cute town—I read somewhere that the average age of the actual residents is in the 30s. I ate at the Merry Piglets, then went to get ice cream at Moo. A pretty nice evening, all in all.
