Fuel up for a big day of exploring at the Bunnery Bakery and Restaurant in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With everything from sweet starts, like pastries and pies, to savory items, like loaded omelets ($12–13) to pancakes and waffles ($6-9), good luck choosing. Vegetarian options abound.

 

Now that you’re filled and ready to explore, enjoy a hike through Grand Teton National Park for $15, or upgrade to the Yellowstone bundle for $50. The price may be steep, but lasts seven days and you’d be remiss to skip a national park hike while in Jackson Hole. Military visit for free. Opt for a free ranger program and get the most out of your visit.

 

See the sights from a free gondola ride, beginning daily at 4:30 p.m., at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Take in the incredible view and enjoy a drink at the top for happy hour on The Deck.

 

If you didn’t get enough walking in at the park, trek along the Sculpture Trail. The walk is less than a mile, resembling an outdoor museum. Conveniently located overlooking National Elk Refuge, you may even see some impressive wildlife.

 

Stargazing in Wyoming is easy and free, but more enjoyable on the lawn of the Center for the Arts during a public stargazing event. Every November through May, every other Friday, 7:30–9:30 p.m., visitors and locals flock to the downtown venue to view astrological wonders by telescope.

 

You’ve had an affordable and active day, so treat yourself to dinner at the Snake River Café. Share a plate with friends for $14–19, or choose from the filling main courses $21–45, including trout, halibut, pork shank and wagyu zabaton steak.
