Welcome to Jackson Hole!
The valley to the east of the Tetons is a world-class ski destination, with literally thousands of ways to get down the slopes. In the valley the town of Jackson works to maintain its small-town charm while at the same time serving as the area’s cultural center. In the Wind River Mountains the Oregon-California-Mormon trail sites near South Pass merit a visit, and you can learn about Native American traditions on the Wind River Reservation. Wildlife watching in northwest Wyoming ranks among the best in the state: look for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep at Whiskey Mountain near Dubois; buffalo, elk, and even wolves in Jackson Hole; and moose near Pinedale or north of Dubois. One of the best ways to admire the landscape – mountain flowers, alpine lakes, and wildlife ranging from fat little pikas to grizzly bears – is to pursue an outdoor activity.
