Vacation Ideas?

So hypothetically, you've got a week or so in early June for a trip. SWMBO
is looking for a place with a nice cabin, good food, mebbe some shopping,
and nice views (mountain-type stuff would be ideal.)

Plus, (and here's the good part) she's thinking somewhere out west with a
nice bit of trout water nearby. Yay.

Where would you go?

Some restrictions -- not a whole lotta walking, as SWMBO is pre-spawn.
(Spawn due in late July). Would like a place that has the touristy crap
within maybe 20-30 min drive. Not too remote, as pre-spawn condition
necessitates a certain measure of secure feeling and all that. Thinking
resort-type place, but not looking for some super-luxury sort of thing.

Also, not completely a fishing trip. I'll likely get a few days of fishing,
while doing a few days of touristy stuff.

She likes to sit on a porch and read while soaking up the views.

Budget: certainly not unrestricted, but also not looking to go "on the
cheap."

tl;dr: place out west that Michelle and I will enjoy?

thanks,
Dan

I know nothing about you and your lady, but judging just from what you
said, Jackson WY seems to have all of what you have. It is the Los
Angeles or NYC idea of what "the west" should be -- accepts all kinds
of credit cards, has expensive shops, the best views (outside of
Jasper) in North America, decent fishing on the Snake (take rocks to
throw at the rafters), short trips to interesting places, and air
direct from anywhere. Just mind the electric fence that surrounds the
place, as it is as much a part of Wyoming (from the locals' point of
view) as Gaza is part of Israel.
