The scenic valley region in western Wyoming, Jackson Hole is considered to be a treasure house in the Rocky Mountains, and is named after David Edward Jackson, a trapper and mountain man. The valley forms steep curves that give the feeling of walking across a hole and hence the complete name.
Summer or winter or any time in the year Jackson Hole is a store house of exciting and entertaining recreational activities just suited for the season. Experience skiing, ice-skating, dog sledging, snowmobiling, wildlife safaris and snowboarding during winters to get the complete thrill of winter sports. With some of the finest ski resorts in the country such as the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King Resort and Grand Targhee Resort located here, no wonder winter is a peak tourist season. Summers are ideal for hiking, camping, biking, boating and horse back riding. That is not all there are hordes of other activities like fishing and golfing.
The town of Jackson is sometimes mistaken to be Jackson Hole. But the former is only a part of the latter; with several small communities such as Teton Village, Kelly, Hoback and Wilson, collectively being part of Jackson Hole. Surrounded by the towering Teton Range, Jackson Hole valley mostly has clear blue skies and a climate devoid of chill winds, ideal for outings. Shopping is fun with a wide range of apparel, furnishings, crafts and souvenir shops that greet you all across this region. Accommodations to suit every budget and requirement can be located with ease. |
