Back to Jackson Hole for our last 2 nights
We stayed at the River Rock Lodge in Big Sky, MT

We woke up this morning to discover our car had a flat tire, so that delayed us a bit and we didn't get to see much around Big Sky before heading back south to Jackson where we are spending our last two nights. After passing through West Yellowstone, MT, we came across a the "Mountain Man Rendezvous" right on our way out of town which turned out to be a fantastic find with real cowboys, arts and crafts, tamahawk throwing, candy shooting out of guns for the kids, animal skins, bones, fur, coonskin hats, etc. The kids had a ball!

Our drive through the Targhee National Forest in Idaho was gorgeous, even though it rained on & off throughout the day. The landscape changed to farmland with rolling hills and velvetty green carpets. We made two more stops for some roadside fishing on the Gallatin near the Yellowstone National Forest and again near Hebgen Lake, had mexican for dinner in Driggs and drove into Jackson Hole right at sunset.

  1. Lookin more like cowboys and mountain folk each day! Impressive lodging for cowfolks, city slickers and fisherpeople. Wow, clearly for those enjoying the good life! WTG!

    Nina and Nate will be talking about this adventure for years! You'll have to introduce them to some cowboy heroes like John Wayne!
