I learned something new while researching the best way to visit Grand Teton National Park, located south of Yellowstone in Wyoming. Jackson Hole is the valley that borders the Teton mountains and encompasses the town of Jackson and Teton Village. I thought that Jackson Hole was a town, so now I know better. We stayed at an RV park in Victor, Idaho, 25 miles west of Jackson, so we had to drive over Teton Pass (climbing from 6,100 to 8,400 feet elevation up and down a 10% grade) to get to it.
In Teton Village we rode an aerial tram that ascended 4,100 feet to the summit of Rendezvous Mountain in 12 minutes.
Jackson is a charming ski town with many shops and galleries. River rafting on the Snake River is popular in the summer.
