Jackson Hole Wyoming is one of my favorite places in the world. It is a touch of heaven here on earth. After we stayed at Yellowstone we drove around, up and then through the Tetons into Jackson Hole.    As we drove around the windy roads we stopped at this overlook. The views were outstanding. From the viewpoint I was able to take this photo looking into the valley of Jackson Hole. What an amazing vista, a feast for the eyes.      There is this friendly western atmosphere when you drive into the town. I could hear the 'awe's from our family members in the car as we entered into the town. It is one of those places where you want to stay a while. Like my dream is to be able to stay there through late spring after the snow is melted to the end of fall before the snow falls again one year ...

  What are homes renting for in Jackson Hole? Long term, monthly, rental prices for an average, unfurnished, single family home: $900 – $1,200     1 bedroom home  $1,200 - $1,400   2 bedroom home  $1,400 - $1,600   3 bedroom home $1,500 – 1,800    4 bedroom home Condos and townhomes are slightly less.  Luxury homes and well as properties with special amenities such as a horse set-up, water features, near public lands access, or located at a golf and ski areas call for higher rental rates, as do short-term rental homes.

Take a Break and See the Cutest Baby Animal Images from Jackson Hole, Wyoming According to lifehacker.com one way to "trick your brain into being productive" is by looking at cute baby animals. A study conducted by Hiroshima University in Japan found that looking at pleasant and cute images increases concentration. Participants in the study, after looking at cute animal images, increased their performance in concentration tasks by 44%. Jackson Hole has tons of wildlife. Most folks who visit Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone Park see moose, elk, bears, coyotes, eagles, fox and much more. But only on occasion are they lucky enough to see the young ones. I put together a tour of wildlife babies and other babies in the Jackson Hole area, including Grand Teton and Yello...

Well stop dreaming of the day when you move to a home with a larger yard, becuase you can garden with containers! Container gardening is an easy way to grow veggies, fruits, and herbs. Not only are they east, but they are also very decorative and can help and some pizazz to your yard. Follow these simple steps and you will have a successful container garden!

Four Seasons: West Bank Grill Four Seasons: West Bank Grill at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has the service and the food you're looking for!  I just took my wife here for her birthday.  The service was excellent, with complimentary champagne and dessert.  The prices are high, but the quality of food matches what you'll find at this highly sought after restaurant.  I had a pancetta wrapped buffalo tenderloin that did not disappoint.  The West Bank Grill is virtually a steakhouse, but they have alternatives.  For instance, my wife ordered a salmon that was fantastic and we had an Ahi Tuna appetizer that you cooked yourself to your preference on a "hot rock" for lack of a better description.  Locals with a ski club card get a free bottle of wine of $60 in value or less with 2 entree's.  If...

Powder Arrives in Jackson Hole!! I don't know how you're going to do it, but you need to get out here!  Storms are stacked to Japan!!  The 55" predicted by Sunday evening are proving to be close to accurate.  I plowed at least 10 inches out of my driveway this morning.  Call me about winter deals here at Spring Creek Ranch.  I'll put you in touch with the right people for deals on room and ski pass packages!  Check out www.jacksonhole.com.  The resort is having great deals on plane flights. If you're nice, you may even drag me out of the office with you!!
