Hubert Davis needs someone to be able to buy the best players as he not exactly setting the world on fire with his players and hasn't shown much ability to coach them up.

Wow. This is more than I could've imagined getting. Thanks a ton. Will circle back to this once we get the itinerary built out.

But if it's, say, a two-week window, starting/closing after the semester starts then you have kids who are transferring either spending the semester away from the team they're transferring to, or getting to their new school not being able to enroll in classes. I don't know that there's a perfect solution. You just kind of have to choose the least worst one.

I grew up in Idaho Falls (hence the "Ida-Ho" in my user name) and there are a million things to do in those areas. These are some of my favorites (sorry in advance for the brain dump format):

Grand Teton NP: Jenny Lake, Hidden Falls, Taggart Lake, Amphitheater Lake, Paintbrush Canyon.

Jackson: Go to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and take the tram to the top and hike down. Consider the via feratta paths there if you're a little adventurous. Go to Snow King in town, ride the gondola up (or hike) and hike down again. Lots of action there: zip lines, treetop courses, mountain coaster. Sit in the saddles at the bar and have an elk or buffalo burger at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. If you play disc golf, head over to Targhee on the western side of the Tetons.

Between Jackson and Stanley: If you don't mind going a little out of your way on the way to Stanley, stop by Lava Hot Springs to do some tubing down the river, and then soak in the hot pools. I also recommend spending a day hiking at Craters of the Moon on your way to Stanley: cool hikes to cinder cones, lava tubes, ice caves, and lava tree molds. Dont wear nice/new shoes, the cinder rock will shred them. If you like history, you can visit EBR-1, where usable electricity was first generated from nuclear energy in 1951, and the only place in America you can see four nuclear reactors.

Stanley: If you like fly fishing, there's TONS of outfitters all over that region of Idaho: I have fond memories of Island Park, personally, but it's been decades, so can't recommend any guides. The Salmon and Snake River have some great fishing and also whitewater rafting. Lots of cross country mountain biking outfits, too, and the ski hills all support downhill mountain biking. I don't golf so can't comment on that. Lots of hot springs within an hour of Stanley. Kirkland is maybe the most famous. In summer, I like the ones where people stack rocks into retaining walls into the river, so you can regulate hot/cold mixing and move out towards the river to cool down, like Sunbeam and Bonneville. More history: Yankees Fork gold dredge or ghost towns like Custer and Bonanza.
