Top 6 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Jackson Hole, Jackson Hole

April 26, 2022 Trinity Boughner

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.

This place has a wonderful view of the Teton range with the Snake river in the foreground. However there are no picnic tables of restrooms here so plan accordingly.

Iconic, photogenic Mormon Barn. Just 5 minutes off Highway 191 on a gravel road. Free. Beautiful. You'll only be there about 15 minutes, but you'll be glad you went.

Antler Arches of Jackson

Reviewed By shopgrrl - Kansas City, United States

Once you hit the town square, it's best to park, walk and see all the sights--not the least of which is a uniquely designed archway on each of the four corners of the town square/park--using the found elk antlers from the nearby National Elk Refuge. Not to be missed, these antler archways.

Jackson Hole Shootout

Reviewed By Aussiesinmaine - Falmouth, United States

It’s free, it’s campy and kitschy and a whole lotta fun. This is some of the longest continuously running street theater in the US. Make sure you read about the history before you go and don’t take it too seriously. I recommend being at the north east corner of the town square about 20 minutes ahead of time, the folks who run the show will block off the roads about 10 minutes before the show. There is some cute ad lib pre show interaction with the actors. The actors will pose for pictures and involve the kids, and are very friendly. You may want a blanket to sit on if you have kids. The best view is from the corner diagonal to the antler arch. It’s also where the popcorn and drinks cart sets up. There is the obligatory PSA that reminds people this is theater and not a glorification of gun violence nor a political endorsement of the second amendment (really...we have come to the point that we can’t do anything without offending someone). I mean this is really pretty tame - or cursing, no degradation of minorities, no lewd humor. Yes there is the sound of “gunshots”, basically a starter pistol cap. But the actual shootout is relatively mild. If you are especially sensitive to gun sounds...don’t go. If you can appreciate some old fashioned street theater and the nostalgia of a time when we didn’t over think things, then this is for you.
