The Ultimate Weekend Fly Fishing Trip In Wyoming
It won’t be long until Jackson Hole is covered in snow, and Dick Cheney is clogging up the town’s main arteries with his entourage. To take advantage of the warm weather and summer scenery, we suggest indulging in a fly fishing trip to the Equality State—ya, that’s actually Wyoming’s official nickname.
It’s prime trout season on the Snake River through October, and the fish are daring you to try and catch them. The Teton Mountain Lodge and Spa has created a Cast Away Fly Fishing Package to allow for the ultimate lazy and active vacation combination. During the day you’ll be learning to fly fish thanks to private lessons. At night you’ll be snoozing away in the comfort of luxury accommodations.
Package rates start at $2,166, which is a little expensive, especially in the current economy. However, you are getting a four-night stay, breakfast every morning, weeklong passes to the national parks, and dinner for two at the lodge’s fancy pants restaurant. You’ll owe a nice dinner to your sweetheart if she tags along; let’s just hope she enjoys “New Western Mountain” cuisine.

Teton Travel: Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival
Wrap up summer and welcome fall in the stunning Western Rocky Mountains at the 24th Annual Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival in Wyoming. Much more than your standard, simple art fair, this one runs from September 4-21, with everything from Native American art to cuisine to music to gallery walks to workshops; in all, more than 50 events will take place over the 18 days.
Some highlights? The "Taste of the Tetons," which allows visitors to sample tons of food, dessert and wine in historic downtown Jackson (tickets are just $1 each). Or the QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction, where 30 artists create original works on-site and spectators can then bid on them.
There will also be tons of opportunities to view and buy Western art, jewelry and even to take in a Jackson Hole Cowboy Jubilee Historic Ranch Tour where you can feast on local barbecue, hear cowboy tunes and listen to area ranchers describe their daily lives. It just might help you prolong your summer dreams of escaping to the ranch a while longer.
