A Guide to Jackson Hole, Wyoming
If you are searching for a destination that offers both stunning nature and that Wild West vibe, Jackson Hole is the place for you! The Teton Mountains create an unforgettable backdrop to this destination, which offers spectacular wildlife and endless adventure.
I was able to go in the fall, which is a beautiful time to visit as the leaves begin to change and the air becomes crisp. This time of the year also allows you to avoid the heavy snow, although it had already started snowing in mid-October!
The beginning of fall is also a wonderful time to explore Jackson Hole, as most hotels close right before and after ski season. The times I would avoid planning a trip here are November 1- right before Thanksgiving (closed) and April 15- end of May, after the ski season is finished.
