beautiful, fun and upscale is Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Set in the breathtaking Grand Tetons Mts., with scenery and wildlife. Charming old town Jackson, with park entrance and elk antlers arch.
Stayed outside town, went to the mts., rode horses, spent time in the famous Mill Dollar Cowboy Bar. Many famous westerns were filmed in Jackson including 'Shane.' I love the West, was just thinking of Santa Fe trips.
