Real Weddings Mini-Moon: Hotel Terra, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Yellowstone National Park may have a reputation as a summer destination for nature loving campers and adventurers, but avid skiers will tell you it’s the winter months that draw them to the snowy slopes of southern Wyoming. At the southern entry point of the park, Jackson Hole has gone from sleepy old West town to bona fide world-class ski haven. One of our favorites is the “green” scene at Hotel Terra. This LEED-certified property is a must for romantic snow bunnies looking for ambiance and altitude.
