No visit is complete without a trip up Snow King. This is the "town hill". How many places have a ski area right downtown? (maybe a few..) Lots and lots of people hike Snow King. Besides the beautiful views you get a great workout. The first picture was taken from Google Earth. I thought the birds eye view was pretty cool. The other picture was taken last spring while the snow was melting.
You can also see Flat Stanley after a strenuous hike (well not for him, he rode in the backpack, what can I say). The town of Jackson is off in the distance. The mountains in the background are the Tetons. The snow has fallen since the beginning of October.
Yeah, we made it! The chairlift runs in the summer and winter. Today is "off season" so the lifts are closed. Off season around Jackson means that all the tourists have gone home and the town is quiet again. This gave us a good opportunity to take a break before we went back down.More adventures are in store for Flat Stanley today, but you will have to wait to see what they will be!
