    This is a fun place to ski. 8 bought a season pass and I am having a blast. Even though it has been…read morea challenging year for snow, the resort had done an excellent job of grooming on cruiser runs. It is a friendly, family and solo resort. The blue sky days provide some fantastic views of the nearby mountain ranges.

    I am so thankful that White Pines Ski Area was recommended to us. I am a 64 year old brand new…read moreskier, and I have felt welcome and supported by all of the staff at White Pines. They were wonderful about helping me get skis and then were attentive and slowed down the lifts for me, so I'd feel comfortable getting on and off the lifts. If you are looking for a nice place to take your family skiing, this is the place. There are ski runs for all abilities. I witnessed many families with young children who were skiing as a family. As a brand new skier, I felt it was important to take some skiing lessons. They matched me with a wonderful instructor, John, who was patient and encouraging. He helped me to believe that I could actually make it down the run. They advertise that there are never wait lines for their lifts, and my husband and I found that to be true. Although there were many people skiing, it is still a smaller ski area where you have room to ski and friendly people to help. Thank you to everyone at White Pines who helped to make our 4 days of skiing a great success. We will certainly be back!

    This creek is a scenic pornfest. Looking at these visuals will release surplus surges of…read moreendorphins beyond the receptive range of most city folks. In other words, this creek is gorgeous--you must see it. I came to Jackson for a retreat over the weekend with Junior League CARE Fair directors and chairpersons. Every time we left and returned to our cabin, we got to enjoy this view. We even had the opportunity to walk alongside the creek. It was very easy and the view will vanish every worry you have. There are several well made bridges that you can walk/drive over as well. Area is very clean with crisp blue water. It didn't look too deep, but it was so perfect that to even dip my feet in the water seemed offensive to mother nature. Not to say I wasn't tempted. Overall, I probably wouldn't drive 5 hours just for this one creek, but the surrounding contains so many scenic opportunities that you have to hit up this place if you're in the area. You just have to. Happy travels, my Yelpers!

    Situated deep within the Gros Ventre Mountains east of Jackson and Hoback Junction, Granite Creek -…read morethe campground, the waterfall, and the hot springs - are pure Wyoming outdoors magic. Sure, the mountains here don't captivate you with their granite-tipped titillation, and there aren't the glacial lakes that you'll be mesmerized by in Grand Teton National Park, nor will you mistake this area for the magnificent Wind River Mountains, the Bighorns, or the Snowy Range, but my oh my, Granite Creek is one pretty, pretty piece of nature. The USFS campground is one of the best I've found in the northern Rockies, with great sites overlooking the creek and sheltered by pines and awash in wildflowers from mid-June to August. The Granite Creek Falls are powerful to behold: not ethereal like Yosemite or awesome like Niagra or Multnomah, but what they lack in vertical elevation and volume they make up for in up-close-and-personal intimacy. You can literally dip your toes in the raging white torrents that fall from above into a creek that is so pure and clean that moose, elk, bear, and cranes simply love to stay here. You'll also find a superb CCC hot springs up the road, where you and your friends/family can soak in bliss while enjoying easy access to the Gros Ventre wilderness a mere mile or so up the main trail that follows the creek to its source. If you are in the Jackson Hole area, a side trip to Granite Creek - on dirt and gravel roads well maintained by the Forest Service - offers you another glance at Wyoming's wild lands that you won't find at Grand Teton. The falls are a great side trip, as are the hot springs, and the campground is well suited for car campers and RVers alike. All in all, this is a part of the Cowboy State that I never tire of seeing, season in, season out. Who needs to stay in Jackson for hundreds of bucks when affordable, adorable places like this are so close and enticing?
