In the Rocky Mountains, the US takes on truly epic proportions. Here the Great Plains of the American West collide with the dramatic Rockies, one of the most beautiful mountain ranges on earth. Day trips in this region are filled with opportunities to explore hiking trails, get in some skiing, and discover the mining history of the region.
In the section titled “Best day trips from Jackson Hole, Wyoming“, Sinks Canyon State Park was featured. The article mentions the Sink and Rise feature of the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River, as well as activities like climbing, hiking and mountain biking.
