Jackson Hole Airport

Jackson Hole Airport (JAC)

I write about Silver, his father and his nurse flying into Jackson Hole Airport which is a jetport near Jackson, Wyoming and very near to the Teton National Park. I was there a few years ago in my motorhome and stayed in Jackson and in Cody and in the National parks and also saw a Grizzly Bear up pretty close in the wilds that I nicknamed "Flower child Grizzly" because he spent the whole time eating flowers while rangers arrested anyone who came too close to him because after all he is still an adult male Grizzly Bear even if he has grown somewhat used to humans being within a 100 yards of him.  Also, there is  a really great wild west museum there in Cody, Wyoming and an interesting Bar there in a hotel that has wooden  stuff that was given to it by Queen Victoria there. I think it was called Hotel Irma or something like that. Irma might have been the daughter of Buffalo Bill Cody for who the town seems to be named after who was a wild west charactor and who met Kings and Queens of several countries during his life touring with gunfighters and Indian
Chiefs and such.

The following is a quote from Jackson Hole- History from Wikipedia:

History

The valley is thought to be named after David (Davey) Edward Jackson and his colleague, Michelangelo Franconi, mountain men who trapped the area for beaver in the early nineteenth century. Though used by Native Americans for hunting and ceremonial purposes, the valley was not known to harbor year round human settlement prior to the 1870s. Descriptions of the valley and its features were recorded in the journals of John Colter, who had been a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. After returning to the Rocky Mountains, Colter entered the region in 1806 in the vicinity of Togwotee Pass and became the first white American to see the valley. His reports of the valley, the Teton Range and of the Yellowstone region to the north were viewed by people of the day with skepticism.
The only incorporated town in the valley is Jackson, sometimes also mistakenly called Jackson Hole itself. Other communities in the valley include Wilson, Teton Village, Moran Junction, Hoback, Moose (Moose Wilson Road, Wyoming), and Kelly. On the west side of the valley, Teton Pass crosses the Teton Range providing access to Victor and Driggs in eastern Idaho and Alta, Wyoming on the western side of the Tetons. Numerous elk use the valley as grazing range during the winter, and sleigh rides are offered to tourists. The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King and Grand Targhee Resort ski areas, and nearby Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks are major tourist attractions throughout all seasons of the year.
Jackson Hole also boasts of having the largest and busiest commercial airport in Wyoming. The airport is unique to the fact that it is only one of two airports located in a National Park in the United States. Strict noise abatements and the terminal building's low profile allow for the airport to operate within Federal guidelines inside Grand Teton National Park. Flying into and out of the valley is extremely beautiful; however, it becomes thorny in the winter months. Major airlines serve the valley with jet service however some of the service is seasonal (summer and winter).
