Just about an hour a day on a trail, any trail, and I’m having a good day. Add a yoga class to that … I’m heading towards nirvana. I have always loved the mountains. After spending my first summer at the age of nine in the Green Mountains of Vermont, I was hooked. The trail [...]

In addition to all of the outdoor recreation in this area, seeing live music at an outdoor arena amongst the Tetons can be ski town living at its best.
