5 Concerts & Shows in Jackson Hole That You Shouldn't Miss
During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice-skating. Summer in Jackson Hole is all about hiking, whitewater rafting, golfing and horseback riding. When you come down off the slopes, you can choose from recreation options like dog sled tours, sleigh rides and wildlife and nature tours. During the summer, you better get your energy level up because kayaking, hang gliding, hot air ballooning, mountain biking and stagecoach rides are just a few of the many options available. For climbers, hikers and nature lovers, the nearby Grand Teton National Park is an absolute nirvana. The towering mountains of the Teton Range stretch 40 miles, and include eight mountains over 12,000 feet. Keep in mind, too, that Yellowstone National Park’s South Entrance is only 90 minutes away, and another 45 minutes or so to reach Old Faithful. If you’re looking for some serious, fast-paced family fun in Jackson Hole, try the Alpine Slide, where you slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled. For a calmer experience, enjoy the Bridger Gondola, which takes tram riders from the Teton Village to heights of 10,000 feet. Golf enthusiasts have access to some great golf with tee opportunities at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design and Teton Pines Resort Golf Course, designed by Arnold Palmer.

We only saw the show (and the preview, which was excellent), and were very impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm. The reworking of the plot of the classic comedy western Cat Ballou was very clever, and I was very happy that one of the main characters was played excellently by an actor from my home state. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with this spur of the moment recommendation of our hotel concierge, recommend it enthusiastically to children of all ages, and it will be on our itinerary when we return.

If you are looking for a fun evening with good wholesome entertainment then this is the excursion for you. I took my Uncle to this as a surprise when we first arrived in Jackson. I know he enjoys history, stories of the old west and western TV shows. We were greeted by a gentleman dressed as a cowboy (the MC) who laid out the nights events. We then loaded up into covered wagons and took a 30 min. scenic ride to a covered pavilion. Our driver talked about the area on our drive out. We arrived to a heated covered pavilion and were treated to roast beef, barbecue chicken as well as all the fixin's. A group of young people as well as the MC joked and interacted with the audience. Next they gave a great little concert that had everyone clapping along. This was well worth the money and great family experience.

The atmosphere at the Bar J Chuckwagon is awesome. Seating assignments begin about two hours before dinner, and I'd recommend you arrive early. We arrived later and were 10 picnic tables back, which felt like a long way from the stage. Once your seating assignment is made, you can do the activities around the ranch: kid train ride, eat a dutch oven biscuit, look at the blacksmith items, nature walk, etc. Dinner was an "authentic" cowboy supper: meat, baked potato, bbq beans, applesauce, bread, cake, lemonade. The applesauce and the cake were great. All the other food was so-so. If I did it again, I would have paid more for chicken or steak. We got the BBQ beef, which was small pieces of beef in bbq sauce. Not really tasty. The lemonade was like watered down country time mix. But there were seconds until the food was gone, so my teenagers got enough to eat. Plate size is really big. The music show was awesome. These guys are legit pro entertainers. So fun and so funny! A joke a minute. Their fiddler won the national and international fiddle competition - twice. And hope that "Granny" pays a visit!
