Place: Spring Creek Ranch, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Outside ceremony/reception with beauuuuuuuutiful views of the Grand Tetons.
We will try and plan something for all of our arriving guests on Thursday, October 6th.
Also on Saturday we'd like to set something up for all of us to do. We are thinking of possibly driving around in Grand Teton National Park. We can stop at Schwabacher's Landing, Jenny Lake (maybe hike up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point), Signal Mountain summit road, Jackson Lake, and the many turnouts along park roads. View the map for more details.
