Did you know?

Jackson vs. Jackson Hole

“Jackson” is the town; “Jackson Hole” refers to the entire valley.

Unique Airport

The only commercial airport within a national park.

Skiing Legacy

Renowned for challenging terrain, including the infamous Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

Western Heritage

The town square features iconic elk antler arches and hosts the longest-running shootout in the U.S.

The Tetons

Named by French trappers, these towering peaks are among North America’s youngest mountains.

Neighbor to Yellowstone

While Old Faithful is nearby, Jackson Hole also boasts natural hot springs.

High Altitude

With elevations ranging from 6,000 to over 13,000 feet, it’s a destination that’s truly above it all.

Jimie Kristine De Monte Founder and Lead Babysitter

Full-service grooming for all dogs and cats, by appointment. Our philosophy: humanity before vanity. No assembly lines - we provide one-on-one care throughout. Our certified groomers use “Fear Free” techniques. We’re committed to elevating the experience for pets and owners. Selfservice washes also available daily, first come, first served.

Lanie, Mark, Emily

Just like you, we have evolved, and continue to.

We wanted a space where people felt welcome, where no one felt judged or excluded whether for their outfits, who they loved, where they came from, or their financial status. We were hungry for an inclusive space that focused on the practice of yoga, not the commercialization of it. And that thread has run through the Little Yoga Studio since we opened in 2011.

a sibling story HENNEPIN BARBERS & BOHEMIAN BIERGARTEN

At Hennepin Barbers in South Boulder, Ben Timm carries on a grooming legacy in a space that has been a barbershop since the 1970s. Whether you’re after a modern style or a classic look, Hennepin provides exceptional grooming for all styles, including the timeless craft of a hot towel shave all set to great music in a handsomely designed space.

Just a short drive away in central Boulder, Zdenek Šrom and Angelie Timm invite you to Bohemian Biergarten, where authentic Old World European flavors and imported beers come together in a beautifully restored historic venue. Inspired by Zdenek’s Czech upbringing, the Biergarten is a true taste of Europe right in the heart of Boulder.

As siblings, Angelie and Ben are proud to contribute to the unique charm of Boulder one through the art of classic grooming, the other through a celebration of Old World cuisine and culture.
