Looks like we might be headed here. No interest in skiing as the wife and I both hate it. The one stickied Travel thread on this area was a ski trip.
Looks like they have a great pathway system like Fayetteville, AR: Jackson Pathways. So, I imagine I will be running this a good bit. I assume it's going to be cold there. Any places to eat, breweries, or generally can't-miss things to do out there at that time of year? Sister-in-law has a couple of VRBOs picked out for us just north of Jackson/Wilson.
Thanks,

Jackson Hole is an amazing place, there's a couple posters that live there or close by.
I'm not sure with Covid what all is open but October things start to shut down. There's some things that close at the end of Sept and some that close at the end of October, November a lot of the "tourist" things are closed down due to it being slow. My uncle went out there in November and the weather was great but a lot of stuff was shut down. So check Grand Teton NP for their hours this year, the NP mostly stay open.
Overall there's plenty to do there for weeks on end even during the closures. But if its a rare visit then I didn't want you to show up and be dissapointed.
An example is the Gondola and Tram in Teton Village shut down in October so you can't take them up the mountain.
ETA: But as far as fall colors, weather, and seeing wildlife its a fantastic time!

Things should still be open in the first week or two of October.
The later you go in the month, the more shut down it will be. I would schedule your activities ahead of time to make sure you can do what you want - and that it’s available.

The plan looks to be Oct 1-8. Everyone is "outdoorsy", but they are all comfortable "outdoorsy" if you know what I mean. No one besides me is going to be hiking or anything like that. My wife will ride a tram or possibly whitewater.

I understand
The tram is down, because of covid. But the gondola is up and running.
Jackson is very short staffed, largely because the j1 program was put on hold. I don’t know what it’s like right now, but if a restaurant had someone test positive, they would shut down for several days while the rest of the staff got tested. The guide services also had the same issue.
I would talk with the hotel concierges for updated information

One of the most incredible parts about Jackson hole to me is how quickly you go from ‘comfortable’ to ‘holy shite I could see like 15 ways I could die here’. You go very quickly from Modern society to rough wilderness. It’s amazing and beautiful but very quickly makes the city folk realize where they truly are on the food chain.
