Why Jackson Hole, Wyoming is the Ultimate Girls Trip Destination

Jackson Hole is a picturesque, stunning and simply adorable city (with a small-town vibe) nestled in the breathtaking mountains of Wyoming. Besides its insane natural beauty, Jackson Hole also boasts some amazing restaurants, bars and activities that are unique to its location! Don’t get us wrong, classic girls' trip spots like Miami, LA, NYC, Charleston, etc. are great — BUT, there is so much more out there and Jackson Hole is not only something different but at a much better price point as well!

Visiting Jackson Hole would be beautiful at any point in the year, for ski lovers, we definitely recommend the winter season — grab your ski boots and besties and hit the slopes! If you’re looking for a warmer, maybe more active trip the spring and summer are stunning for hikes, horseback riding and drinks by the pool. Fall is also a picturesque time to visit Jackson Hole, with all the color of the leaves changing, as well as the amazing wildlife-watching opportunities! Basically, there isn’t a bad time to visit Jackson Hole with your girls, so pick whatever time works best for you!

Where To Stay: 

The Lodge at Jackson Hole — this hotel is so authentically Wyoming, that you truly will feel like a local nestled into a luxurious, western-feel, stunning hotel. What’s great about the Lodge is that it’s nestled right in the heart of downtown, close to the mountains but also in walking distance to the cutest main town area! They also boast a delicious breakfast and dinner menu, with plenty of options to choose from. 

Springhill Suites — This hotel is also placed in the heart of downtown, within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and bars which makes it super easy to get around! Because it’s a Marriot hotel, it won’t have as much Wyoming charm; however, it's close to everything the girls will need to have a blast!

The Cloudveil, Autograph Collection — Another adorable hotel, right downtown, The Cloudveil has stunning, modern rooms, with a gorgeous pool for guests to enjoy during the warmer months. The hotel has lots of cool packages that guests can add to their stay, such as a wildlife tour! 

These hotels would all be perfect for a girls' trip! Close to downtown, stunning, with plenty of amenities, and of course, loads of fun as well. We definitely recommend checking them out before booking your stay.
