Jackson Hole/Yellowstone vacation

[Fathom]

We are heading to this area towards the end of June and are looking for a good place to stay any recommendations or insight would really be appreciated since it will be our first time visiting the area. We will also be heading to Missoula if anyone has any recommendations for that area.

Jackson Hole is a fun, clean, friendly town w/lots to do and see, especially if you have little ones.. They have an old west shootout re-enactment every night at 6 pm. River rafting is right there in Jackson Hole. We didnt do it, but all we asked said it was great... They have horse and wagon rides for the kids too. You are only 30 min from the entrance to Grand Teton Natl Park as well. We stayed at the Virginian in Jackson Hole. Cant speak for the motel room-we were in a rented motorhome. People running it and staying there were all very friendly, They have a nice pool for the kids too. We went in mid-June, right after school let out. Everyplace we stayed at on the way out there, said this was the best time to go as the "summer rush" of families doesnt get going til July, typically. Good luck and have fun. We enjoyed Jackson Hole and the Tetons immensely and hope to get out there again soon.

Old faithfull inn is an awesome and beautiful place. Great childhood memories there. You might hit the salmonfly hatch. Amazing fishing during the hatch on the bigger rivers like the yellowstone. I remember throwing handfulls of them in the river in the park and watching big 18 in cutts hammer them. Take the kids if you have themto yellowstone and spend at least three days of your time there. Jackson hole is cool but a bit spendy. Definatly worth spending a day or two there. You can do the hole in a day and see the whole town easy. Grand tetons are amazing and lots of moose. Fishing behind the dam on the snake can be fantastic. Big browns rainbows cutthroat and lots of lakers. Bring spoons to toss like crocodiles. Float with bait or nymphs work as will almost any other troutish presentation. Have a great trips. Yohr kids will have a blast.

We stayed near the ski resort, actually had a lift just outside our window. Cant remember the name but it is on the way out of JH when you are going to yellowstone. We were up there the end of may and tons of wildlife around. Most of the elk had moved out of the reserve but buffalo and moose along with bear. It was a great time. Just watch out when you are driving as the wildlife does happen pretty often in the ditches.
