Skiing in Jackson

Jackson, Wyoming, a wide valley at the base of the magnificent Teton Mountains, embodies the spirit of the Wild West. The charm of this colorful village is enhanced by the boardwalks, small shops, and galleries made of rustic wooden structures. The elk-horn arches that surround the town square make it difficult to miss. Jackson is a well-liked stop on the way to Yellowstone and the entrance to the lovely Grand Teton National Park. The largest herd of elk wintering in the world is protected by the National Elk Refuge, which borders the town. When in season, visitors can enter the refuge on a horse-drawn sleigh to get a closer look at these friendly animals.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art, which is hidden in a rocky hillside just south of the city, is another popular sight. It has more than 4,000 paintings and numerous changing displays. Other highlights of Jackson include the famed summer rodeo, chuck wagon cookouts, picturesque float cruises down the Snake River, and downhill skiing on Snow King Mountain. One of the best places to go fly fishing in Wyoming is Jackson Hole. The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort at Teton Village, located 20 minutes from Jackson, offers some of the best skiing in North America in addition to a variety of summer mountain activities and outdoor concerts.
