PICNIC WITH THE TETONS - View this location on map For all its worldliness, Jackson is a tiny town of about 8,600 full-time residents. Grab picnic fixings at Harvest Organic Bakery & Cafe (307-733-5418), then a side order of scenery at Snow King Resort (corner of Snow King Avenue and King Street, 307-733-5200), the in-town ski area. Hike the piney switchbacks 1.8 miles and 1,571 vertical feet to the summit (45 minutes if you re huffing, but remember you re starting at 6,200 feet). The view stretches 50 miles to Yellowstone, and it s the best place in the valley to see both the town and the Tetons. NYT 130 West Broadway, Jackson, WY Shopping, Restaurant
