The beautiful Wind River Range scenery is an added bonus. The starting point is not too far from Jackson, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map

out with mother nature are great reasons to come. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
