Behind the Pages: Hannah Sourbeer

You’ve read their stories—now meet the people behind the words. We asked our JHStyle writers to tell us what inspires them, where they go for a perfect day in Jackson Hole, and what they’re looking forward to most this summer in a one-of-a-kind mountain town.

A new addition to the JHStyle team, Hannah Sourbeer brings both writing talent and a deep connection to the landscapes and communities of Jackson Hole and Teton Valley. In the upcoming edition, look for her fantastic exploration of mountain biking in Jackson Hole, along with her in-depth profile of the Teton River. We caught up with Hannah to find out what a perfect mountain summer looks like.
