The calendar says "March" but if you're interested in one last winter fling there's no better place for it than Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Enter the park at Moose Junction and drive to the Taggart Lake Trailhead. From there you may choose to cross-country ski the road to Jenny Lake, or snowshoe the trail to Taggart Lake. If you choose to ski, the main road through the park is closed to vehicle traffic and is groomed for both classic and skate cross-country skiing. Another ski trail cuts through the forest along the base of the towering Tetons.

We choose this meadow for our lunch stop. A downed log provided the
perfect perch—and view—for our al fresco dining experience. |
After a day in the park treat yourself to gourmet dining at
Wild Sage Restaurant in the Rusty Parrot Lodge in downtown Jackson Hole. Try either the Beef Tenderloin or Crackling Salmon entrees, then finish your meal with a spirited mug of "Wyoming Coffee".
