Jackson Hole is the where millionaires and billionaires go to pretend that they’re cowboys, and flying in to Jackson Hole confirmed this as we saw four times as many private jets landing as commercial flights. However, the approach into Jackson Hole through the Grand Teton mountains was truly beautiful.
Getting off the plane Tess was surprised to see one shop and one shop only in the airport: Bear spray rentals. No joke, that’s all you could get at the airport. It kind of scared us a bit and at first we thought you spray it on you to keep bears away, but no, it was to spray on the bear. We decided to allow much extra space between us and potential bears.
As this town is a playground for the super wealthy, there was only black car taxis. However the (very expensive) ride from the airport ended up being worth it, as the driver that took a shortcut off the main road and through the Grand Teton National Park, where we saw a brown bear cub and its mother just off the side of the road. From a safe distance in the car though. But we have to admit, that was pretty cool and worth the price of the ride.
The hotel was located at the base of the Jackson Hole ski resort, had a spa, and a huge horse pasture across the street.
