Christmas in “the quiet side of the Tetons.”

Posted by: vikki  :  Category: Travel reviews & hot deals

Idaho

Teton Valley lies along the eastern border of Idaho, snug against the 13,000′ peaks of the Grand Teton range. The communities of Driggs, Victor, Tetonia and others share the Teton Mountain Range with the neighboring valley to the east, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Folks describe Teton Valley as “the quiet side of the Tetons.”
With a rich history dating back over 12,000 years, the Teton Valley is home to an incredible diversity of American culture, natural resources, historical treasures and world-class recreational facilities.
The jagged, snow-capped Tetons to the east and the rolling Big Hole Mountains to the west cradle the gentle, flat course of the Teton River.

Winter offers downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snow-mobiling, snow-tubing, sleigh ride dinners, ice skating, dog sledding and wildlife snow shoe adventure.

Discover June Lake, California

Posted by: vikki  :  Category: Travel reviews & hot deals

june-lake-aspens-1-_50

June Lake, California welcomes you! This historic village set among sparkling mountain lakes and towering peaks may not be what you expect in a mountain resort destination. In the heart of Mono County, surrounded by the Inyo National Forest, and located centrally among some of the West’s worldwide attractions such as Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, June Lake enjoys much less notoriety than many other destinations, yet those who know this place will tell you that it is the best mountain retreat on earth. The town, its history, its people and its character are unique and fascinating.

While nearby Mammoth gets most of the attention because of its world-class ski mountain and facilities, June Lake really is one of the state’s most scenic vacation spots. The “June Lake Loop” area, just east of Yosemite Park, probably should have been included in the national park — its dramatic mountain faces, pine forests and sparkling lakes make it just that beautiful.
