Grand Targhee Resort, Alta, Wyoming
Snowboard Fun on the Mountain at Grand Targhee, Wyoming

Grand Targhee in Alta, Wyoming, previously a winner of FTF’s Top 10 Getaways for Tiny Travelers award, gets a fresh look in 2015.

At the main gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, your family can enjoy a year-round mountain adventure at this isolated  “Old West” retreat.  Located at 8,000 feet in the majestic Grand Teton Mountains on over 2,500 acres of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, this small, friendly, not-fancy resort offers hiking, chairlift rides, swimming, mountain bike riding and climbing in summer. Snowboarding, alpine, Nordic and snowcat skiing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, sleigh riding and ice skating keep everyone on the go during the winter.

With 70% of the ski trails rated intermediate, 20% advanced, and 10% beginner on Fred’s Mountain, Targhee is famous for up to 500″ of powder annually. Its unique climate draws active families from throughout the West and as far east as Europe. 

In winter, childcare and ski school programs are available daily for children from 2-months to 14-years-old in full and half-day sessions.  Targhee’s charming log cabin nursery is state-licensed and staffed by highly-trained caregivers who keep babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers up to 5-years-old entertained.  Private lessons are available from age 2. Kids 3 1/2 to 5-years-old can begin group lessons focusing on balance and basic skills.  6 to 14-year-olds are divided into groups according to age and ability for ski and snowboard lessons, also in half and full day sessions.  Multi-day sessions are also offered.

In summer, scheduled nature-based camp programs occupy the kindergartners to sixth graders, and childcare for little ones from 2-months is also available.

    I loved Japan before I visited there– loved their video games, TV shows, martial arts, and amazing sword fights. But my only contact with Japan was through the Internet. Reading Japanese comic books (Manga) and watching Japanese cartoons (Anime) are my favorite pastime. So on Christmas day, when my parents gave me a book about Japanese culture, I was happy. When I opened the book and discovered the plane tickets inside, I was ecstatic.

    In preparation for the trip, we took Japanese language lessons from a private tutor. By the time the trip rolled around I was eager to practice my new skills.

    After landing in Narita airport, our first stop was the Zen Bed and Breakfast in Asakusa, Tokyo. My formal Japanese greeting impressed the owners. In the mornings, we had breakfast with them. I had never had rice and soup for breakfast before. Being a very picky eater, I rarely try anything new. But in Japan, I was determined to try everything. These home cooked breakfasts were the best meals we had on our trip.

    Excellent post – thank you – there is a lot to digest. We did the Alsace tour last year, which was fantastic, to tour the Rhine too. It is stunning in summer, which I hadn’t anticipated – I’ve always seen it in photos, beautiful in winter with the snow all around.

    Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
    I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!

    Awsome! Thank you for sharing.

    A cruise like this is fantastic, taking in many beautiful ports and coasts, but what it misses, is the vast amount of country and culture that is further inland. While the coastal areas of Europe are stunning, a family would be missing out on a lot of experiences further inland, like Toulouse, lakes of Croatia and many more

    When we travel on road trips, getting our cars maintained is always our top priority! It’s never predictable what’s going to happen on the road once our car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. It was a very informative read, as well as the tips that followed!

  • If you make it out to Key West, definitely try to eat at El Siboney Restaurant. They have delicious, authentic Cuban food. Would highly recommend.
