Spring in Yellowstone & Grand Teton

Posted on: April 9th, 2018 by thcAdmin No Comments

Winter’s grip on the National Parks is easing, roads are opening, for Current Road Conditions in Yellowstone.

If you are looking for a leisurely adventure, I would suggest touring Yellowstone and meandering up to Chico Hot Springs for a little R & R.

Grand Teton National Park has completed plowing and most roadways are currently open. Rent a bike if you are visiting the area and take advantage of this unique opportunity to explore the park. People from all over the local area look forward to this window of time each Spring. On a sunny weekend day the parking area will be overflowing as people venture forth.

After the park opens in early May, bicycles can still be used in the park utilizing the pathway system. The Jackson Hole valley has an extensive network of paved pathways.  As temperatures moderate and trails dry out, mountain biking is a popular activity. There are an abundant number of trail options throughout the valley.

National Parks Gov’t Shutdown

Posted on: October 1st, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

Your National Parks Experience may be impacted to some degree due to political posturing. Hopefully things will work out in our favor, so that we may continue to enjoy our national park in an uninterrupted manor. The Hole Concierge believes that the current political strife over health care is silly. Focus on reform is a major issue facing all Americans. Colorado and Washington are soon to make a major impacts on pharmaceutical manufacturing revenues. Obama-care is not the solution but it is a step in the right direction.
