USA and Canada Holiday Hints |
Jackson has a large range of facilities, including numerous motels and restaurants for all tastes and budgets.
The various shops around Jackson's town square are well worth exploring on foot. The small park in the middle of the town square is famous for its entrance arches made from antlers shed by elk. Photograph (76KB).
On the outskirts of Jackson on the road to the Grand Teton National Park there is an excellent Wyoming Welcome Centre with exhibits, leaflets and information. A viewing platform leading outside from this centre provides views over the National Elk Refuge, but the elk are only in residence there in the winter as in the summer they go up in the mountains.
Trivia note: The supermarket at the Broadway/Pearl "Y" (opposite Wendy's), over the years a Safeway, Farmer Jack and Albertson's, has now closed. However, a very much larger Albertson's store is now open, a mile or two south at the Teton Pass road junction (near McDonald's).
