When you are in Jackson check out who has live music. We accidentally ended up in the bar at the Wort Hotel on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, what a party, I saw Sasquatch while staggering back to the hotel. There are some really good bar bands in the area, ask the locals.
Speaking of locals, when I was a kid, 60 years ago the town was Jackson Hole. What do Wyomingites call it now?
mike r Jackson is the town that sits in the valley named Jackson Hole. Used to ski out there back in the day. We also took snowmobiles way up to some hot spring pool where you could swim. Forgot the name, but the wife loved it. Probably Granite Hot Springs.

Have my eye one The Wort and Merry Poglet.
Forget both and go to Cafe Genevieve. Genevieve is fantastic, lunch or dinner! To see bighorn sheep go to E. Broadway going East. It will dead-end into the Nat'l Elk Refuge road (gravel)... drive this road and you'll have a real treat. Did just that ride yesterday and came up empty, but will do it again

Bighorns typically aren't down low until the snow starts to fly in the high country. I can always be wrong; but that's been my experience. Also the elk don't hit the refuge until about Nov. You should find some up around Beaver Creek on up to Jenny Lake just as the sun is going down.

Highly recommend Bin 22; buy your bottle of wine in the store in front. Take to the restaurant in back; Excellent. Small plates that are not so small; get the grilled octopus and if they have it, chocolate salami for desert. Menu changes with the season. http://bin22jacksonhole.com/index.php

mike r It started out as Jackson's Hole. It was Davey Jackson's "hole" or trapping grounds.

Met up Friday with SRM and bride and had a great time together. Our thanks to Larry and Lynn for showing us around.
Everybody needs to check SRM post on bear attack of guide and client on Friday. We watched the rescue chopper at work, wondering what the story was. Bad ending😕

Rocky Mountain Oysters at the Million Dollar Cowboy bar is an absolute must do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Can't remember the name of the place but they make great margaritas! Just stumble around you'll find it! Enjoy!

If you make it over the pass to the Idaho side the Knotty Pine in Victor has good food. I live about 50 miles or so from there. You can also head down South to Alpine and then head towards Idaho Falls and then lope up to Victor and back over the pass for an afternoon drive of something different if you have time. A float in a drift boat down the South fork below palisades dam through the canyon has some great scenery.

The Bar J wranglers is worth seeing if you haven't been there before and the food is pretty good. I haven't been on the fire much lately but wish I could make it over to meet some fire members. My wife is working 12's on Thursday and Friday so I'm playing Mr Mom to my 6, 4, and 3 year old. When ever the kids go with me to Jackson I get out voted and we end up getting happy meals at McDonald's. My trips to Jackson are different than they used to be. Now it's to hit the city pool, McDonald's, and then be back home in Idaho for an 8:30 bed time.

I heard elk bugling and fighting in Grand Teton last evening. It was a neat experience. They were not that far away in the timber.
