While my family was rafting, I explored the town of Jackson on my own.
Touring the Town of Jackson
After browsing every souvenir shop and taking a selfie under the antler arch, I found myself with time to spare before meeting up with my family. Yes, the antlers are real. They're collected by Boy Scouts and sold at auction for as high as $180/lb.
I had a cup of tea at Cowboy Coffee. From there I moved on and explored the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum. For the reasonable price of $4.00 I got entry to 2 museums. Native American History and History of Early Settlers in Jackson Hole are located in separate buildings a few blocks apart. It took me less than an hour to see both museums. If we had the time it would be a nice place for everyone to visit.
Ben and Michael working hard in the front row. Melissa screaming in the middle while Adam, Zoey and Jesse pose for the camera. When we checked in the day before, the guide explained that due to the increased run off from the heavy snow fall, the rapids were more technically difficult to maneuver. In fact, they had increased the age for children from six-years old to ten-years old. I knew there was a reason I hadn't booked myself for this adventure!
Smiling happy rafters had a great run and I had a great afternoon as well. Everyone wins.
Shopping and museums, that's my kind of excursion! I like the Cowboy Coffee theme.
