So let's look at some of the activities in Jackson Hole that are top rated. We're going to look at the top 10 rated activities. Now it is the winter of 2020 and 2021. And there are certainly federal regulations, state regulations, county regulations that are going to change moment by moment because of the panic of 2020, the COVID-19 situation. And please do stay tuned to those government agencies to see what they will allow the following 10 businesses to do. The businesses want to serve you. You want to go out and have fun, but make sure that you're not wasting a trip before you come. Number one on the list in Jackson Hole has to be skiing. One of the greatest ski resorts in the world is the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village. Teton Village is the little community that is about 10, 15 minutes drive from downtown Jackson. And it's not a real city. It's just a little community, which is perfect. There are a number of hotels there from mid-range to high end. And that's where the ski resort is located. And there are two other ski resorts as well. There's Targi, which is about a half an hour, 45 minute drive, if you're coming from Wilson, Wyoming, which is between Teton Village and Jackson. And when I say Jackson, I mean the town of Jackson. By the way, Jackson Hole is a long valley, about 50 miles long and about 10 miles wide. And then the town that is within Jackson Hole is Jackson. That's the county seat. And so when you hear people speaking about Jackson or Jackson Hole, that's the difference. Jackson Hole is a big, huge hole area. Jackson is the actual town in it. So from Jackson, you're looking at half an hour to 45 minutes to get to Targi Ski Hill. The third ski hill is Snow King Resort. And that is right in downtown Jackson. It's on Snow King Mountain, the south side of Jackson. Make sure you ski while you're in town. That's probably why you're thinking of coming, right? So the second activity, second rated activity in the town of Jackson and in the whole of Jackson Hole is the Jackson Hole shooting experience, which is a target shooting experience.

The little rope pool takes you up to the, to the top and then you jump on these, these inner tubes and go flying down their little walls built up so that you make sure you don't go flying off into the wrong places, but it's a, it's a rush. It's a lot of fun. It's a popular evening activity as well. Check with their schedule. See it's going to be changing week by week because of the craziness of this season, this year actually. So make sure you stay, stay up to date on what they're offering week by week. Next on our list is cross country skiing. Number eight on our list and cross country skiing is, it's tough.
