Looking for outdoor adventure? How about enriching cultural experiences? In downtown Jackson Hole, you can have the best of both worlds! Located in western Wyoming, in the heart of the Tetons, Jackson Hole (aka Jackson) is a gateway to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park, as well as outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, rafting, and wildlife viewing. Meanwhile, downtown Jackson Hole is a lively cultural hub, with a strong Old West heritage and a thriving arts scene. Want to make downtown Jackson Hole home for your next vacation? Stick around to learn about three boutique accommodations that put you in the center of the action!
The town of Jackson wears its western heritage on its sleeve. From its iconic antler arches to stagecoach rides to Old West-style boardwalks and facades, a trip to downtown Jackson Hole can feel like a trip back in time. Mosey into the famous Million Dollar Cowboy Bar or one of many other old-timey saloons for a shot of whiskey or a cold sasparilla. Then, head to Town Square for the free daily shootout, held at 6 PM, Monday through Saturday, from May 31st to Labor Day. Looking for a family-friendly western attraction your whole posse will love? Watch as Wyoming’s bravest athletes compete for glory at the Jackson Hole Rodeo, held Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 8 PM.
Of course, just because Jackson is proud of its western roots doesn’t mean it’s stuck in the past. On the contrary, downtown Jackson Hole is home to a thriving arts scene, with numerous art galleries and museums, including the world-famous Museum of Wildlife Art. Hungry? Foodies flock to Jackson for its renowned culinary scene, bolstered by upscale eateries like The Blue Lion, Gun Barrel, and Snake River Grill, as well as farm-to-table favorites such as Coelette and Gather. Meanwhile, music fans can catch their favorite acts at venues like the Pink Garter and the Center for the Arts, plus great local music at any of the bars in downtown Jackson Hole.
Looking for something nice to wear to The Blue Lion or the Center for the Arts? How about an essential piece of gear before you hit the slopes? No matter what you’re shopping for, you’ll find it in downtown Jackson Hole. Here are some of the best shops in town:
Downtown Jackson Hole has everything you need to have the vacation of a lifetime. But while you’ll never run out of things to do downtown, the real adventure is just beginning. Jackson is an all-seasons outdoor playground, and in downtown Jackson Hole, you’re never more than minutes from the fun. Here are just a few of the outdoor adventures you’ll find just beyond downtown:
Located just 8 minutes from downtown Jackson Hole, and at just $35 per vehicle, Grand Teton National Park is a must for your Jackson itinerary. See the world’s largest migrating herd of elk from the comfort of your car as you drive along the auto tour routes of the National Elk Refuge. Or, for winter travelers, horse-drawn sleigh rides offer a unique (not to mention romantic) way to enjoy the wildlife and the crisp mountain air. If you plan to visit Jackson Hole in the summer months, book a whitewater rafting excursion on the Snake River for the ultimate wet-and-wild adventure.
One of the most famous national parks in America, Yellowstone is just an hour away from downtown Jackson Hole. From majestic mountain peaks to dramatic waterfalls, Yellowstone’s natural beauty is unrivaled. However, the park’s most notable feature is its geothermal attractions. Erupting roughly every 90 minutes, Old Faithful is the most regular, and thus the most popular, geyser in the park. Meanwhile, Steamboat Geyser, which reaches a height of over 300 feet, is easily the most spectacular. Looking for an experience that’s out of this world? Grand Prismatic Springs and Mammoth Springs feel downright extraterrestrial with their respective vibrant colors and terraced landscapes.
Did you know Jackson Hole is home to not just one, but two ski resorts? Snow King Mountain is more or less “in” downtown Jackson Hole, and at just $85, it’s by far the cheaper of the two resorts. However, as one of the steepest ski resorts in America, it’s not as beginner-friendly as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
Located just 20 minutes from downtown Jackson Hole, Jackson Hole Mountain offers a variety of terrains, making it ideal for skiers of all skill levels. And while a one-day pass will cost you over $200, a day is nowhere near enough time to see and do everything at Jackson Hole Mountain. Instead, consider a Weekend 3-Day Ticket or a Flex 5-Day Ticket and save!
