Report
Learning to wake surf at Palisades Reservoir! The crew was fabulous and very helpful teaching! Surfing in Wyoming. How awesome is that?! Our 4 year old had a turn too! We saw many birds of prey while on the lake beneath magnificent mountains. It was an easy and beautiful 30 minute drive from Jackson and nice to be away from the clouds for a day. Fun for the whole family. Looking forward to the next time out on their boat!
