If you only have a day in the Jackson area, don't try to "do it all" by driving 80-90 minutes out of town to Yellowstone. You'll end up wishing you had more time, and missing great sights - and probably most of the wildlife - trying to rush from geyser...

I drove through the Grand Tetons on a drive from San Francisco to New York City. Even though I was only there for a few hours, I promised myself a return trip someday in order to experience the park more thoroughly.

Bordered by Jackson on one...
