The morning air in Jackson Hole is thin and bright; you can hear the square waking up before you even leave your coffee cup. You tap open the TravelStorys app, and the map pinches and expands to your position — the voice on your headphones slides into place with the geometry of the street. It’s not a lecture, it’s a guide keyed to what you see: a weathered storefront, the track of an old stagecoach road, a hayfield that once fed fur trappers. The landscape answers back as the narrator names stones and stories.
