Question
What are Tori and Josh's 5 favorite things to do?
Answer
1. Visit the National Parks! No trip to Jackson is complete without visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Plan to spend at least a day in both! 2. Grab a Beer at Melvin’s See where it all began. Grab a beer overlooking Palisades Reservoir in the place where we got engaged! 3. See Jackson Hole Grab a pastry from Cafe Genevieve or an ice cream cone from Moos and walk around Jackson Town Square. We love listening to live western music at the Wort while we have dinner and a cocktail. 4. Explore the Water See our favorite place to be in Wyoming: on the water. Book a scenic or white water raft trip down the Snake river. Rent paddle boards or kayaks and enjoy Palisades Reservoir. Book a fishing trip! Enjoy a soak at Astoria Hot Springs. SO many things to do on the water in the summer! 5. Explore the Wilderness If you have the cars to do it, take a drive up Greys River Road in Alpine, or up the Gros Ventre Road, northeast of the town of Kelly. There is nothing like being out in the middle of nowhere. Just don’t forget to bring your camera (and a full tank of gas)!
