The overgrown community of JACKSON
is tucked in at the end of Jackson Hole , ten
miles from Teton park's southern gate. Hunched around a tree-shaded
square, marked by an arch of tangled elk antlers at each corner,
the Old West-style boardwalks of downtown front
designer boutiques, craft shops and over thirty galleries. Every
summer evening, except Sundays, an amateurish shoot-out is staged
in the town square (6.30pm). In winter, time is better spent visiting
the National Elk Refuge on the north edge of
town, where you can take a horse-drawn sleigh ride among a 10,000-strong
herd of elk (late Dec to late March daily 10am-4pm; $12 for adults
and $8 for kids); rides leave from the National Museum of Wildlife
Art, and a combined museum-and-sleigh-ride ticket is good value
at $15 adults/$11 kids.
Jackson is home base for two of Wyoming's best ski
areas: Snow King (tel 733-5200 or 1-800/522-5464,
) is Jackson's family-friendly hill, also lit for night-skiing,
while Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (tel 733-2292
or 1-888/333-7766, ) is a massive mountain with a huge vertical
drop and terrain best suited to upper intermediate-to-extreme
downhillers. Summer visitors can enjoy chairlift
rides (up 7751ft Snow King Mountain from Snow King Avenue, six
blocks from the town square (daily 9am-6pm; $7), and come down
by hiking, cycling or taking the thrilling 2500ft Alpine
Slide ($6 a turn), a summer toboggan run. Out at
Teton Village , home of Jackson Hole Mountain
Resort (tel 307/733-2292), aerial trams swoosh
their way 10,536ft to the top of Rendezvous Mountain where there's
a spectacular panorama of the valley and mountain ranges (daily:
June-Aug 9am-7pm; May & Sept 9am-5pm; $16).
