INSIDE-THE-PARK HOTELS AND LODGES
Where the buffalo roam…
Custer State Park, in South Dakota’s Black Hills not far from Rapid City, is home to one of the world’s last large herds of bison (buffalo); about 1,300 of these massive mammals roam the park freely! See them up close – and keep your eyes peeled for elk, mountain goats, mule deer, bighorn sheep, mountain lions and more – when you board a vintage touring vehicle for a private “buffalo safari” through some of the park’s 71,000 acres.
Singing cowboys?
Way back in the day, cowboy music around the campfire was a legendary part of the lore of the Old West – so much so that cowboy music and “singing cowboys” were popularized in Western films of the 1930s and 40s. Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue brings the musical traditions of the American Old West to life in Buffalo Bill’s Cody, Wyoming – and after attending one of the popular performances you’ll be singing a new tune…
LAKE YELLOWSTONE HOTEL Jackson Hole, or...
... just Jackson? You might be asking yourself that very question as you explore Jackson, a historic town known for its shops and the unique elk antler arches on its town square. Jackson Hole and Jackson are often misidentified and are eminently interchangeable. But here’s the answer: Jackson Hole is the valley between the Tetons and the Snake River; Jackson is the chic alpine town set at the valley’s southern end.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Lake Yellowstone Hotel, built in 1891, sits on the shore of Yellowstone Lake, renowned as a haven for birds and wildlife in the nation’s first national park.
JACKSON LAKE LODGE
Spectacular views are just steps away from your cottage in the woodland at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park, a National Historic Landmark perched on a bluff with the magnificent Tetons rising from the valley floor.
