Which Are The Best Luxury Vacation Rentals in Jackson Hole, Wyoming?

With its prime location next to the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole beckons nature enthusiasts. No wonder it’s been dubbed an adventurer’s amusement park. From winter skiing to summer rafting.

In the northwest corner of the valley is the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort – a world-class skiing destination and among the town’s biggest tourist draws. In winter, visitors can take advantage of the 2,500 acres of ski runs; in the warmer months, the resort is open for hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, rope-course adventures and tram or gondola rides with panoramic views. The Jackson Hole valley is teeming with wildlife, and its most prominent resident is the elk. The National Elk Refuge is a giant, non-enclosed piece of land preserved for the animals. As winter approaches, thousands of elk make their way to the refuge where they feed on alfalfa pellets, put there by the staff. Here, they await the return of spring until conditions for foraging improve. Observe them from your car, or you can opt for a guided sleigh tour through the snow.
