Autumn provides a gorgeous landscape, wonderful weather, and the chance to explore sans other people. Winter, of course, is known every epic winter sport ever.

May “Animals”

As they say, April showers bring May flowers, well in Jackson Hole it’s more like May animal sightings. There’s no better time to be in Jackson Hole than springtime if spotting wildlife is your goal. Spring is when the animals emerge from winter hibernation. Head to Yellowstone National Park for a chance to explore without any crowds and to maybe catch a glimpse of the bison on the move, a rare treat.
