By Prudence Lay, Feature Editor –
The state of Wyoming contains some of the most spectacular and diverse scenery in America. Some of the most awe-inspiring views are to be found in the area in and around Jackson.
I was a young girl of 14 when I first visited this area and I remember it was the first time in my life that my jaw literally dropped at the majesty of God’s creation. As an adult, I have visited the area several times and never tire of the breathtaking vistas of “God’s Country” as many of the locals call their home.

While there are many activities in this corner of the globe to attract children and families, this is also a place a grown woman can go and feel like she was given a slice of heaven on earth to rest and rejuvenate for a time. This resort embodies all of the romance, splendor and adventurous spirit that represent’s the American West.
Just minutes away from Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, this fabulous hotel offers you an adventurous and unforgettable experience. Enjoy impeccable service, a wide range of luxury amenities, and exhilarating resort activities.
You may want to try 18 holes at the championship Robert Trent Jones, Jr. golf course, consistently rated in the top 10 in the United States by Golf Digest, world-class skiing on Jackson Hole Mountain, get an adrenalin rush while whitewater rafting on the nearby Snake River, or, if a more quiet pace appeals, cast a line to do some world-class fly fishing.
The onsite comforts offered at this spectacular luxury resort are a vacationer’s dream. Relax and revitalize both your body and soul in the 17,000 foot Avanya Spa. This spa is so beautifully appointed that it is difficult to pull yourself away to enjoy the rest of the resort amenities.
After your spa session swim in luxurious pools with cascading waterfalls, warmed walkways, (lovely in winter) a hot tub tucked into a steam-filled cave, and a sauna. After a long day of hiking, biking, riding or skiing, that feeling of peaceful restoration will be welcome.
After all this excitement and pampering, be sure to take in one or more of the Snake River Lodge’s marvelous restaurants to tantalize your taste buds. Dine on exquisite western cuisine at Gamefish, an award-winning restaurant with a world –class wine list, which is located in the lobby. Or stop by the Fireside Bar for cocktails before strolling into town for a magnificent meal. If you would prefer to venture out, Teton Village is home to diverse restaurant options from local game and inspired Asian, to intimate dining and friendly pizza parlors.
As you can see, there is much to keep you busy at and around the Snake River Lodge and Spa. A visit to the area would be lacking however without a visit to one of the most iconic symbols of the American west, Yellowstone National Park.
