- I took a three-day trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that cost nearly $3,700.
- Luxury hotel stays and transportation were the priciest aspects of my trip.
- Traveling during shoulder season and spending nothing on experiences helped me save.
If there’s anywhere to splurge on luxury travel, it’s Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The wealth enclave comprising Teton County is packed with top-tier resorts and wellness experiences, multimillion-dollar vacation homes, and elevated Western boutiques surrounded by mountains.
I took a three-day trip to Jackson Hole in September. Here’s what it cost:
Transportation: $980 on rideshare services and round-trip flight tickets from NYC
Accommodation: $2,465 for two nights in upscale hotels and one night in a hostel
Food: $230
Activities: Free
While nearly $3,700 may sound steep for a short getaway, I could have easily doubled my budget had I not been conscious of how I spent — and when.
Looking back on the trip, I think I did a fine job balancing my budget by indulging in some areas at the expense of others.
