Surrounded by mountains, forests, rivers, and wildlife galore, Jackson Hole is an adventure-seeker’s mecca and your gateway to both Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. Home to cowboys and grizzly bears, the hole – or valley – is 48 miles long and about 6 to 8 miles wide, embracing an area of approximately 400 sq. miles, and it is a veritable hub of outdoor recreation. Wildlife watching is easy here – from elk and deer and many other small mammals, to a plethora of bird species, wolves and bears. Home to unlimited adventures all year long, Jackson is a treat.
