One of the nicest resorts in the area is the newly open Hotel Terra, a hip, eco-friendly spot in Teton Village, where we spent several nights. One of the property's highlights was Chill Spa, where luxurious body treatments feature sea salts, berries, algae, and other natural ingredients. Another highlight was the downstairs restaurant-wine bar, Il Villagio Osteria, where we had our first taste of Teton cuisine: duck ravioli and wild boar and caramelized onion pizza.
Great dining is at a premium in this part of the world, where outdoor activity tends to dominate the day's agenda. Many restaurants feature mountain cooking, which includes hearty dishes such as the juicy ribeye of bison and rare venison with huckleberries, which we enjoyed, respectively, at The Peak and elegant Westbank Grill in the Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole. One can enjoy exceptional local river trout, and locally-grown vegetables, like the Wyomato, a Wyoming tomato.
