Jackson Travel Guide

Who can match this backdrop? Yellowstone National Park is to the north, wild and remote Wind River Range over Togwotee Pass to the east, and the Tetons are smack dab in front of you. If there's anything you want to do in the outdoors, you can do it here.
Ride Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's new aerial tram up 4,133 vertical feet to the top of Rendezvous Peak. En route, keep an eye out for hard-core locals dropping into vertigo-inducing Corbet's Couloir.
Saddle up to one of Jackson's famous—or infamous—watering holes. The Mangy Moose in Teton Village is a favorite among tourists and locals alike. Snake River Brewing brews award-winning ales and lagers.
Come winter check out the high red cliffs near Slide Lake at the end of the Gros Ventre River Road. More than 70 miles of groomed cross-country, snowmobiling, and snowshoe trails can be accessed in this wildlife-rich region, including the Continental Divide Snowmobile Trail.
A number of balloon companies operate in Jackson. Each offers slightly different flight options. The Wyoming Balloon Company floats guests above the Bridger-Teton forest, a working ranch, and the Snake River—and salutes the flight with a champagne toast.
Savvy backcountry skiers can tackle Teton Pass, one of the best, most popular, and easily accessed backcountry ski areas in the country. Bring a partner and avalanche safety gear.
To explore the rural landscape north of Teton Village and its spectacular mountain vies, take the largely paved path following Highway 390 from the mouth of Granite Canyon to the town of Wilson ten miles south.
Though the Granite Creek Road south of Hoback Junction on Highway 191/189 is ungroomed and shared with skiers and snowmobilers, it's worth traversing in order to reach the hot springs at the end of the ten-mile road.

My spouse and I would like to spend 3-4 days doing day hikes in the Grand Teton/Jackson area, then come back in the evening to a pleasant, peaceful, lodging that is couples-friendly (our nest has just emptied, so we'd like a break from the frenetic "family vacation" crowd). We would be arriving the week after Labor Day. Any suggestions on hiking and lodging?
