Jackson Hole

-

Our last day in Jackson was a trip to Jackson Hole ski resort to ride the gondola up to the top


We drove over, explored a perfect little ski village 


and had some lunch (1 more bison burger!) Before heading up.


At the top, we donned the winter gear (hats and gloves) we've been trucking around 5 states) and marvelled at the views




They were also launching doubles parasailing rides while we were up there. Just nuts.



We saw some wildlife at 10,100 feet..



That second one is apparently a yellow-belly Marmot

And...we had some fun



So now this trip includes 105 degree desert hikes....and snowmen.

In all a great time. Spent over 2 hours at the top.


Btw, I would absolutely love to come back to Jackson Hole in the winter. (Anyone else interested?)

Though not sure I'm capable of doing Corbett's Couloir anymore (in the top 10 hardest resort runs, apparently)


We spent the rest if the evening relaxing at the campground. The girls played in their "secret hideout" 


And we cooked come chicken in the campfire.


Before what might end up being our last s'mores. (RV parks from here out)

Tomorrow we head to Idaho Falls and woo boy, we're in for some exciting stuff now! Wait till you see what is in store!

(Other than the proper wi-fi (so I can post these)

Spoiler : We made it! Yay, wi-fi!

We're home! It was a great trip, everyone loved it, but everyone is also very glad to be back. Comfortable beds, good coffee, and furry friends that apparently missed us! We ended up driving a little over 4000 miles: And according to our RV fridge tracker, We visited: 9 National Parks 3 National Monuments 2 National Recreation Areas 1 National Historic Site 1 Ghost town And Jackson :-) And we stayed in 6 States (Including 4 new ones for our family) Favorites for the trip: Jeff - Yellowstone by far. It impressed beyond my wildest expectations.  Lisa - Arches NP - Delicate Arch hike and the less-crowded parts of Yellowstone. Sydney - Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon and and Crystal Cave Caitlin - Sequoia, Yellowstone, and the SLC "Space Museum" (planetarium...aka the most recent thing 😆) Now it's a couple of weeks of downtime and we're off again - 3 nights in Ft. Bragg at the end of the month #sabbaticalsummer. Thanks for following along!
