Solar Eclipse 2017

Posted on: August 7th, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

The solar eclipse of August 2017 looks to be quite an event here in Jackson, WY. With people booking rooms two years or more in advance of the event. The eclipse will occur on August 21, 2017 passing directly over the Jackson Hole valley. The phase of total eclipse will begin around 11:30am. The duration of the full eclipse will be for less than two and a half minutes. With the event’s totality lasting from 10:15am to 1pm.

Lodging seems to be the biggest dilemma. Some properties are already sold out over certain dates between August 19th and the 22nd. August is already one of the busiest times of year to be in the area, add on a major astronomical event, Good Luck!!! Most major hotel chains do not release rooms until about a year out, so there are still rooms available.

Many domestic travelers will be stunned to find that the majority of lodging will be booked up by the time most wake up to the fact that this is a big event.

The town of Jackson’s proximity the eclipse’s path makes it one of the more dramatic places to observe it from. The natural beauty of the area provides ample locations for amazing photo opportunities. Be prepared for large crowds to inundate the valley. The eclipse will pass almost directly over the Grand Teton itself. The best viewing being North of town from Gros Ventre Junction to the North end of Jackson Lake.

Thin Air Shakespeare 2017

Posted on: July 13th, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 7th, 8th, 9th then again on the 14th, 15th, & 16th

“The Tempest is this years feature for Thin Air Shakespeare. Showing at the Center for the Arts’ outdoor lawn venue. The lawn opens for seating at 6:30pm with the show commencing at 7:30pm. Bring a blanket and picnic dinner along to enjoy. Be sure to get there a little early to ensure you get a good spot. A bit of bug spray is recommended. The intimate space makes for fabulous viewing. The experience is wonderful, I look forward to this opportunity each Summer. The best part……it is free!!!

The director has put a wonderful twist/flavor into this version of Shakespeare’s classic. The Tempest is set on a remote island, the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio’s lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso’s son, Ferdinand.

Kicking off during the Summer of 2013, Thin Air Shakespeare is a community favorite. The setting is unique and the experience wonderful.

Located on Snow King Ave., the tent hosts talent shows etc. throughout the day, which provides some entertainment while dining.

My favorite is the philly cheese steaks or cheeseburgers at the Rocky Mountain Ministries food booth.

A collection of rides and games can be found around the fair’s “midway” that are sure to thrill children and adults.

Figure 8 Races seem to be a big hit with locals and visitors. In years past the Demolition Derby was the Sunday night featured event. Soon after the introduction of of the Figure 8’s, it replaced the Derby.

This event combines the smash and crash of a derby with a little finese. Cars race around a figure 8 track where “rubbin’ is racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

The ballpark is located at the base of Snow King mountain. This all-ages evening concert series is a welcome addition to the music scene in Jackson. Coming to fruition after years of anticipation, hope, and hard work this has finally happened. Shows generally wrap up around dusk, and provide a welcome social event for visitors and locals. Dogs are not allowed on the ball field. A five block walk from the town square and convenient to the S.T.A.R.T. bus, makes it easy to get back and forth from the show. This year’s new title sponsor is the Snake River Brewery.

Phelps Lake

Posted on: August 5th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

Phelps Lake in Grand Teton national Park can provide for excellent day hiking. Many will choose to only go to the overlook and return to the comfort of their vehicles and touring of the park. Those looking for a little more can choose to circumnavigate the lake or explore Death Canyon. Phelps Lake serves at the gateway to Death Canyon.

The area is beautiful. Once you get beyond the overlook the crowds will disappear. Pack some lunch, making it a day hike up Death Canyon provides dramatic contrast.  The canyon walls tower above you. At the top of the hike there are sweet views of the Teton Shelf.

Trails lead to the lake from the Laurence Rockefeller Center as well. You can add a couple miles to your adventure and see the center as well.
