This is a dispatch from a pandemic-era road trip through Wyoming taken with Salt Lake magazine’s late executive editor, Mary Brown Malouf — a trip that opened with a telescope-guided stargazing tour outside Jackson and rolled on through a day of wildlife-spotting in Yellowstone, a 40-mile bike ride to Jenny Lake beneath the Tetons, and a whitewater run down the Snake River. Along the way it collects on-the-ground recommendations for where to eat, drink and sleep in and around Jackson, from a Lebanese-inflected hotel restaurant to the historic Silver Dollar Bar. The piece then widens into four suggested road-trip routes crisscrossing the state, hitting everything from frontier prisons and dinosaur dig sites to a jackalope statue and a Wyoming winery, for readers looking to plan their own version of the trip.
