Jackson Hole, WY & Coulter Bay-Grand Tetons
Jackson Hole is quite the town. It has everything a person may want, and then some. Airport, auto repair, do it yourself car wash (for the tons for accumulated dirt that will make your car unrecognizable), gas, which is cheapest at the southern end of town, grocery stores - Albertson's and Smith's Safeway are the largest, bike repair & rentals, great specialty shops if you are looking for expensive souvenoirs, and of course zillions of hotels and motels for the skiing industry that thrives here in the winter. There is an elk refuge just outside of Town, a great visitor's center, and great food at the restaurant across the street from the visitor's center. There is also a bus that regularly runs from Salt Lake City airport to Jackson Hole - which is a way to get companion riders in & out of that area. No beer or wine is sold in grocery stores in Wyoming, so if you are looking for that, you must go to a liquor store.
Coulter Bay, in Grand Teton National Park has both camping and inexpensive cabins. There are pubic showers and a huge
coin laundry right next to a camp store that has fresh baked goods first thing in the morning. The Tetons are adjacent to Yellowstone National Park and are also not to be missed!!! Although aleigned with the Rockies, the Tetons are a younger mountain range than the Rockies - formed at a different time. While Beth rode with her boyfriend for several days, Ann & I spent time with our husbands exploring Yellowstone and the Tetons. We met up with Beth in Pinsdale, Wyoming.
