The name “Jackson Hole” refers to the entire valley, which runs between the Teton and the Gros Ventre Mountain Ranges. The headwaters of the Snake River start at the base of the Grand Teton in Jackson Lake, and cuts through the center of the valley as it descends into Snake River Canyon to the south. Jackson, the center of Teton County, is surrounded by national parks, world class skiing, spectacular scenery, and in the middle of it all is the remarkable small town community. Most visitors are astonished to find a community filled with fine dining, art galleries, and nightlife in an area most consider the wild west. There is something for everyone in Jackson Hole, all you have to do is show up prepared for an adventure and let the mountains handle the rest. The only way to truly understand the beauty of this area is to visit and spend quality time taking in the amazing scenery, and experiencing the lifestyle this community can offer.
