Introduction

Jackson is a western-style town at the foot of the Teton range and the gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. Its centerpiece, the elk-antler arch plaza, is built from thousands of shed antlers and a must-photo landmark. The town blends cowboy culture with galleries and craft shops, while nearby lakes, wetlands and snow peaks form a world-class outdoor playground for horseback riding, rafting, skiing and wildlife watching. Whether as a base to rest between parks or to taste authentic small-town West, Jackson pairs convenience with wild beauty.
