JACKSON HOLE TODAY

ith a population that has now expanded to about 23,000 residents, Jackson Hole is not the isolated valley it once was. Even so, locals are easily outnumbered by some 4 million visitors each year. In addition to being the home of Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, two major ski areas (and a third just “over the hill”), the National Elk Refuge and Bridger-Teton National Forest, we also have a thriving cultural scene. From world-class art to live theatrical, musical and dance performances—featuring national and international actors, musicians and dance companies—Jackson Hole is far from a sleepy valley.
