So marijuana's all legal now. That means every Californian 21 and up can saunter into a recreational shop, belly up to the bud bar, and order whatever their high heart desires. But with legalization has come a number of changes that have even dyed-in-the-wool stoners scratching their heads. So we're here to walk you through what's new and happening, as well as to give you the skinny on the very best our local cannabis industry has to offer. The unassuming mountain town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming has been solidly on my radar this year—Instagram pictures of rugged wilderness and the cowboy lifestyle beckoned my city-dwelling self. It's this very unpretentiousness that has made Jackson Hole the refuge of choice for urban folk and celebrities for years. Sandra Bullock and Harrison Ford own homes there. Pippa Middleton has been spotted getting down in a And this past summer, Kanye West, who often comes to this part of the country for creative inspiration, jetted in members of the media for a at a remote ranch. This is all to say that people are feeling Jackson Hole's vibe right now. Courtesy of Snake River Sporting Club It's a place that doesn't need or want to be trendy what could be more classic than fly-fishing on the Snake River? But then again, tiny homes are now a thing here, and that's pretty trendy, we must say. People love tiny houses for the same reason they love a place like Jackson Hole—it's a chance to embrace simplicity. With the recent opening of , a collection of contempo-woodsy mini cabins at the luxury , you can now embrace that minimalism, among wilderness majesty, at an approachable price tag. Home sweet tiny home. Courtesy of Snake River Sporting Club You'll breathe in Jackson Hole's crisp mountain air the moment you step off onto the tarmac, the Tetons in the near distance. In the fall, golden-yellow aspen trees dot the expansive landscape soon to be covered in snow. A historic 1929 bridge leads to the Sporting Club's private land—land that Native Americans traversed for centuries before it was settled by cowboys in 1900.

There are four of them in all, sitting in a semi-circle below the tree line. Measuring just 400 square feet, each is designed to sleekly fit into the natural surrounds.

The tiny homes give you the option of cooking in your own kitchen, but I opted to eat at the clubhouse, recently named the most beautiful in the state by , where the Frontside Grill serves fresh yet hearty dishes of beef tenderloin sliders with Cajun aioli and a New York strip with marchard de vin.
