My experience was not good when I visited Jackson Hole, WY. The town was not welcoming. People were very yuppie, and stuck up. I got a very bad vibe from the entire town.

The only good thing was the horseback riding we did at the Spring Creek Ranch Resort. The food was terrible, we couldn't even find a restaurant that had normal food. Everything was high class, and over priced.
