A good move starts with a picture of daily life. Here are three ways to begin.

04 — Things to do
Teton County puts Jackson at the foot of the Tetons, with two national parks, the National Elk Refuge, and world-class skiing.
Outdoors · Summer
Jackson
Jenny Lake Trail is a classic park hike circling Jenny Lake at the base of the Tetons. It leads to a ferry across the lake and up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point for panoramic mountain views. Elk and moose are commonly seen near the lake.
Local tip. Start early to beat crowds; morning light on the Tetons is spectacular. If trails are busy, take the shuttle boat and hike the Cascade Canyon Trailhead instead.
Official site ↗Arts & culture · Year-round
Jackson
Overlooking the National Elk Refuge, this museum features an extensive collection of wildlife art (painting and sculpture) by American and international artists. The grounds include a Sculpture Trail with large outdoor pieces along the wooded path.
Local tip. Join a docent tour to appreciate painting details or attend a sculpture walk. After visiting, watch elk herds from the bluff-side outdoor seating area.
Official site ↗Outdoors · Winter & spring
North edge of Jackson
Thousands of elk winter on this refuge between Jackson and Grand Teton National Park. Horse-drawn sleigh rides take visitors onto the refuge from mid-December through early April.
Local tip. Sleigh rides leave from the visitor center in town; book ahead for weekends.

Teton Village, 12 miles northwest of Jackson
A ski resort known for steep terrain and 4,000 feet of vertical drop, with the aerial tram running in summer for hiking, via ferrata, and views across the whole valley to the Gros Ventre Range.
