Jackson, Wyoming
We literally don’t know how many times we’ve been to or through Jackson, Wyoming.
My first visit here was with my grandparents and my sister 59 years ago when I was 11 years old and she was 9. While I don’t remember a lot about the town, it is decidedly different from what people find today. Years later, when we lived nearby in Idaho in 1973 and again from 1977 to 1980, we passed through and visited the town numerous times. Since we moved to Arkansas, our visits have been on the order of every few years
The town isn’t the reason for our visits. It just happens to be close to a couple of our favorite places, Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
Some people think Jackson and Jackson Hole are the same thing. They aren’t. Jackson is the city while Jackson Hole is a valley that stretches 60 miles along the Teton Mountains and includes Jackson, Teton Village, Wilson, Moose, Moran Junction, and much of Grand Teton National Park.
A strong local economy, primarily due to tourism, has allowed Jackson to develop a large shopping and eating district characterized by a large number of art galleries, custom jewelers, and designer clothing retailers centered on the town square. (Wikipedia)
