You pull out of Jackson before dawn, headlights slicing the cool air as the Teton peaks slowly sharpen against an ink-blue sky. The road unspools and the Shaka Guide audio greets you—stories queued to the GPS, pointing to turnouts where the valley breathes and the Snake River dares you to step closer for a better view.
