Day 22- Jackson WY - 4189 Miles

Drove from Yellowstone, through the Grand Teton National Park, to Jackson WY. We also made a side trip to Teton Village. I've been to lots of place dripping with money but this was different. Usually places with lots of money want to make sure you know they have lots of money. Some are more subtle than others, but they all make sure it's clear they have money. Things here were very subdued, but you knew there was money all around. After we got to our room in Jackson, I checked on a hotel room a Teton Village. They were in the $900 - $1500 range. I guess that explains why my $40 Priceline bids didn't work. There wasn't a Motel 6 or Comfort Inn in sight.

We checked on taking the tram to the top of the mountain at Teton Village and it was $32 per person. We opted for the ski lift in Jackson to the top of a different mountain for $17 per person. Sure the trade-off was being at the top of a mountain with a restaurant vs one with a coke machine and an outhouse, but for $15 each, it was worth it.
