DAY ONE of Woosters' Wild West Adventure


















We arrived Jackson Hole, WY around noon today, hopped in our rental car and headedto Jackson. It was still a bit early to check-in, so we decided to drive around and survey the land. We ended up at Teton Village, about 12 miles outside of Jackson where we took a tram ride up Rendezvous Peak in the Teton mountain range at about 10K. At the top, we hiked around Corbet's trail and saw Corbet's Koulier, a ski slope the starts out really, really steep and scared me just looking at it! It was a gorgeous view and we just sat and took it all in for a while, then huffed and puffed our way back up the trail (as what comes down, must go up)to take the tram back down. Dave posed for a pic down in a crevice of one of the rocks, which made his son cry and say "I'm afraid my dad might die!" After that ride, we took a chair-lift ride a few times before heading back to Jackson. After checking into our hotel, we went to the town square for the nightly cowboy shoot-out which the kids enjoyed (but Mom jumped every time the gun went off)! Dave had a buffalo steak for dinner and then took the kids to the heated pool at the hotel. The kids are bedded down now, and Dave is hiding out in the bathroom getting his gear together for an early morning fishing trip before we head north towards Yellowstone.
