Set off for a hassle-free summer escape
Jackson Hole
Located at the doorstep of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Jackson Hole is better known for its proximity to wide-open spaces than for its gallery spaces – but this Wyoming resort town’s chic wild-west reputation is getting a major boost from its 5-year-old multidisciplinary Center for the Arts and a 500-seat performing arts center that opened in 2007. Not that you can’t still dust off your chaps and saddle up, either at the celebrated Million Dollar Cowboy Bar (the barstools are made from saddles) or by horseback riding with a local outfitter, with a backdrop of the Teton Range. Yeehaw!
How: Fly direct to Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) from Atlanta (Delta; 4 hours), Chicago (American, United; 3 hours), Dallas/Ft. Worth (American; 2.5 hours), Denver (United, Frontier; 1.5 hours), Minneapolis (Northwest; 2.5 hours), and Salt Lake City (Delta; 1 hour). Set at the base of the Grand Teton Mountains, the airport is only 10 minutes from town.
