Our week long stay in Jackson was mostly a working trip for Dad, but we still made the most of our time. The trailer was set up at the Snake River Cabins and RV Park, which had some very interesting looking tiny homes/tiny cabins that we will have to check out on a future visit. We made ample usage of the dog park during our stay, and got plenty of exercise on the bike trail running in front of the park, which we are pretty sure goes from one end of Wyoming to the other.
Our first big adventure was a long walk on the Emily Steven's trail. The park and trail are excellently maintained, and the walking on the gravel path was easy peasy. The trail followed the river for three miles, but we turned around and headed back to the parking lot when certain smaller humans in our party started overheating.
Remy and Mom were able to explore Jackson a bit during the day, and they made several stops. Ever since we played mini golf in SLO Remy has been a big fan, so they stopped at the course to play a round. After a brisk 18 holes (Remy prefers to play golf as fast as possible; i don't think the PGA would approve) they went to check out the raptor center. This raptor center was much different than the one we visited on Vancouver island. Whereas the Vancouver raptor center was home to a lot of birds, this center was much more educatiom focused and had fewer animals. They did have a resident Golden Eagle named Gus. No relation to Molly and Brock's son.
We didn't eat out much in Jackson, but Mom did discover an excellent bakery named Persephone. They had delicious loaves of bread that we scarfed down with all of our meals.
On our last night In Jackson we went out for dinner with Mom's high school friend Tristan. We met him at The Bird for burgers, and despite a bit of a parking adventure we had a great time. One would think that a town in the middle of Wyoming would have plenty of parking, but we struggled just about everywhere we went. Tristan had just recently moved back to Jackson but has lived in the area for the last decade-plus, so he was more than happy to give us tips and pointers for the rest of our trip. He also had quite a few Wyoming facts for Remy to digest, including that 97% of Tieton County is public land.
