Jackson: Gateway Resort to the Tetons and Yellowstone
Jackson sits at the southern end of Jackson Hole, a valley roughly 50 miles long and 8 miles wide bordered by the Teton Range to the west and the Gros Ventre Range to the east. The valley floor averages about 6,200 feet in elevation. Grand Teton National Park occupies much of the northern portion of Jackson Hole, and Jackson itself functions as the southern gateway to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park, which lies about 55 miles north up the Rockefeller Memorial Parkway.
The town square features four arches made of shed elk antlers, first installed in the 1960s and replaced periodically as antlers deteriorate. Boy Scouts from the local troop collect antlers each spring from the adjacent National Elk Refuge, where roughly 7,000 elk winter each year on 24,700 acres of federal land. The Jackson Hole Boy Scout antler auction sells the gathered antlers with proceeds returning to the refuge.
The economy rests almost entirely on tourism and real estate. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, at Teton Village about 12 miles northwest, offers 4,139 feet of vertical drop, the fourth largest in North America. Snow King Mountain rises directly above the town and operates as a smaller ski area and summer amusement facility. The Snake River runs through the valley and supports both whitewater rafting through Snake River Canyon to the south and scenic float operations through the park to the north.
Teton County consistently ranks as the highest-income county in the United States by per capita income, driven by wealthy part-time residents and a concentration of investment and real estate income. The county is also the wealthiest by net worth per resident, while affordable housing for service workers and teachers remains a persistent concern, with many commuting from Idaho across Teton Pass.
