Thin Air Shakespeare

July 7th, 8th, 9th then again on the 13th, 14th, & 15th

Macbeth 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. Shakespeare’s most feared and popular tragedy, Macbeth spins a tale of magic, destiny, betrayal, and ambition as we watch the timeless push and pull of one of the most powerful couples in literary history.

July 4th 2018 will be a fun filled day in Jackson Hole, actually the 3rd & 4th look pretty good. There is a lot to keep you busy from sun up to sun down. Be prepared for the crowds. There tends to be more vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic than any other day in the valley. It is good to find a nice parking spot, try the public parking garage located on Millward, then set out by foot or by bike. There will be some congestion getting out of and around town after the fireworks display.

Spring in Yellowstone & Grand Teton

Posted on: April 9th, 2018 by thcAdmin No Comments

Winter’s grip on the National Parks is easing, roads are opening, for Current Road Conditions in Yellowstone.

If you are looking for a leisurely adventure, I would suggest touring Yellowstone and meandering up to Chico Hot Springs for a little R & R.

Grand Teton National Park has completed plowing and most roadways are currently open. Rent a bike if you are visiting the area and take advantage of this unique opportunity to explore the park. People from all over the local area look forward to this window of time each Spring. On a sunny weekend day the parking area will be overflowing as people venture forth.

After the park opens in early May, bicycles can still be used in the park utilizing the pathway system. The Jackson Hole valley has an extensive network of paved pathways.  As temperatures moderate and trails dry out, mountain biking is a popular activity. There are an abundant number of trail options throughout the valley.

Automobiles will be allowed on Teton park roads beginning May 4th, 2018. Don’t miss out on exploring the Tetons during this transitional season.

Jackson Hole Whitewater Rafting

Dinner and Elk Viewing

Posted on: March 1st, 2018 by thcAdmin No Comments

Combine a dinner sleigh ride with elk viewing at the Mill Iron Ranch. Taking a horse drawn sleigh ride to view the elk is awesome. A short sleigh ride which incorporates viewing of a resident elk herd, will be followed by a hearty Wyoming dinner.

After an active day nothing beats a great meal combined with some Western hospitality. There is a resident elk herd in the area of the ranch which can often be viewed during the sleigh ride. Always a unique dining experience.

Dinner sleigh rides are one of the more popular activities during the winter season, so book early. The intimacy of the ranch and the authentic Wyoming experience offered by the crew at the Mill Iron is unsurpassed. I recommend working this experience into your schedule while  visiting the area.

Head South of town and hop into a sleigh at the Mill Iron Ranch, if you would like further information and/or reservations, contact them directly at 888-808-6390 or 307-733-6390.

String Lake

Posted on: September 26th, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

String Lake is located in Grand Teton National Park. The trail head is accessed at the south end of String Lake via the String Lake parking area. The trail provides access to Jenny, Leigh & String lakes, Hidden Falls, Inspiration Point, Cascade and Paintbrush canyons. The lake is located at the base of Mount Saint John, and connects Leigh Lake to Jenny Lake. You can branch out, if you want, and create various loops by linking different segments of trail to thoroughly explore the area’s entire trail network.

string lake mount moran

Circling String Lake itself provides a hike of just less than 3.5 miles with just under 600′ in elevation gain. The trail’s elevation gain occurs along the backside of the lake. As the trail meanders west along the very base of the Tetons, wonderful views of the area abound. The water tends to be fairly warm due to the lake’s shallowness. Bring a swim suit and a towel so you can take a dip. The water’s clarity is unsurpassed. The lake is quite shallow.

String Lake has always been a great place to kayak or canoe on calm waters. In recent years the lake has become quite popular with Stand Up Paddle Boarders. You can rent watercraft at at Dornan’s, located near the Moose visitors center. Inner tubes are fun to take out as well. On the weekends it can get a little crowded, locals come out in good numbers.

To get there, turn west off the Teton Park Road at the North Jenny Lake Junction and continue roughly 1.5 miles to the String Lake Trailhead. There is a large parking area, it will fill up at mid afternoon during peak season.

Things to do in Jackson Hole

Posted on: September 25th, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

Jackson Hole and the surrounding area offer unlimited possibilities. No matter what the time of year is you can always get out and experience something wonderful.

Late Spring and Fall do present some challenges since many vendors are closed and access to the National Parks is limited. You can find something to occupy your time. Local galleries provide a wide array of art. Wildlife is always out there, so sign up for a tour or ask some locals where to look and go on your own.

The Summer months in Jackson provide the widest array of activities, and the largest crowds. Planning items in advance can help make things a lot smoother. Most activities are available at multiple times per day.

Hot air ballooning only goes at the crack of dawn, it is well worth getting out of bed for this one! If aerial adventure is your game, then paragliding might be just what the doctor ordered.

Whitewater and Scenic rafting are available in multiple locations and go at all hours of the day.

Horseback riding is a popular activity here in the Jackson Hole area. Tours depart at all times of day. Most folks opt for a two or four hour ride. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and multi-day trips as well.

During the later Summer months and into the Fall, Jackson becomes a destination for fly fishing. This is a great way to get out on the water and stalk the native cutthroat trout.

If you are looking to get out on a bicycle, there is an extensive trail system that runs throughout the valley. A number of single track trails and dirt roads are available for mountain biking. We are blessed with a paved bicycle trail encompasses nearly the entire valley, it will even get you up into Grand Teton National Park.

If you have children, the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, has a number of activities. This includes a ropes course, the aerial tram, lift served mountain biking, a climbing wall, bungee trampoline, 18-hole disc golf course. You can additionally take horseback tours, do a chuckwagon dinner, or take the gondola up to mid-mountain and opt for happy hour or dinner at Couloir restaurant. Snow King Mountain has a Scenic Chairlift, Bungee Trampoline, Alpine Slide and Alpine Coaster, as well as a TreeTop Adventure Course to keep you busy.

Wildlife Tours will get you familiarized with this vast ecosystem. An expert guide will lead on an educational tour, you can take it all in since your not behind the wheel. Guides are available for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks as well as other areas. These tours are highly suggested for photographer among us.

There is quite a bit of  music offered up throughout the season, much of it free & outdoor, take in a show while you are in town!

Get a quick and easy workout right on the edge of town. Hiking Snow King will provide dramatic views of the valley, glimpses of wildlife and a great workout. By the time you summit your worries will be left behind. Bring some water along so you don’t get dehydrated. Many locals take advantage of the mountain being “in their backyard.” During seasons of operation, one can download utilizing the Summit Chair for $2 and enjoy sweeping views of the valley while descending in comfort. The hike takes from 40 minutes to an hour depending upon individual fitness level.

Take advantage of the picnic tables on the deck of the summit house and pack a snack, lunch or dinner. During the long days of summer the Summit Chair operates until 8pm. If you simply want to take in the view and forgo the workout, $15 is the price to ride. There is a short nature trail to tour at the top. The chairlift ride takes roughly 15 minutes. Your ride can be captured on film, there is a company that offers photos of your chair as you summit the mountain, quite a nice shot.
