Wyoming is a really amazing place (even though camping there in the winter might be fatal). However, summers often are quite nice there. I have stayed in Jackson at a hotel and also stayed in Cody after driving through Yellowstone National Park. I remember this from about likely 10 or 15 years ago when we drove our motor home there with my youngest daughter who is now in her mid 20s. We visited friends who had a 99 year lease of property on an Indian Reservation there which was interesting to visit this 2 1/2 acres of property they had access to.
Before this I also went before that to the Teton National park and went camping there after backpacking in a ways with my family. There was a Grizzly bear sighting and warning there the next morning so I had my family hike out and my oldest biological son and I broke camp and carried out our stuff to be safe. But, we didn't see the Grizzly scaring campers what we saw instead was a teenage Moose. You might say "Oh. You only saw a teenager." But, remember Moose are huge and even my 6 foot 5 inch frame next to a teenage moose meant that the top of my head only came up to his shoulder. So, as he walked by my son and I who were not armed because we were in a National park we were both sort of uneasy because of the moose.
The previous night the whole family had gone hiking because it was a full moon and a moose with an 8 to 10 foot rack was eating in a lake near us and that was pretty amazing to see him in the moonlight. He saw us but didn't try to attack us because he was eating the grasses under the lake at the time. The other thing we saw on that trip were Marmots. We saw about 25 of these things and they wanted us to feed them which was pretty funny at the time:
Here are some pictures of Marmots:
