Jackson travel guide

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is the self-proclaimed "last of the old west" in every sense of the word. With its unique position as the gateway to Yellowstone National Park and home to stunning Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole preserves its longstanding character as a cowboy town. Jackson Hole is also home to some of the best skiing in North America.

In the summertime, Jackson town square serves as a hub of activity. With daily shootouts in the town square, stagecoach and chuck wagon rides, the spirit of the old west is everywhere. Additionally, Teton Village is a busy adventurers base for visitors. Just one mile from Grand Teton National Park, Teton Village is a great place to start your exploration of the beautiful landscape. With plenty of hiking, biking and paragliding, Teton Village is also fun for gondola rides and kid-specific activities.

Winter in Wyoming is cold and beautiful and there is no better place to play in the snow. Opt for a snow mobile tour, sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge or tear up the local slopes of Snow King Ski Area. Make your ski vacation complete with a trip to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Known for its light, dry powder and famous backcountry, few ski resorts are as steep and fun.

While out in Teton Village, consider staying at three very distinct hotels. Hotel Terra (http://www.hotelterrajacksonhole.com) is Jackson's only eco-boutique hotel offering luxury and environmental sustainability in sophisticated and comfortable, slope-side surroundings. Here decadence means plush amenities and healthy spaces, extremely attentive service and beautiful design combined with commitment to preserving the environment.

Teton Mountain Lodge (http://www.tetonlodge.com) is a rustic, yet elegant adventurers' option at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Its designation as a condo-hotel means guests enjoy all the conveniences of staying in a home-like environment, while experiencing the services and amenities of a luxury hotel.

The Inn at Jackson Hole (http://www.innatjh.com) offers an incredible location with a great old-fashioned feeling and is a most affordable option in Teton Village, especially for value and service in three star hotel.
