Jackson Hole is actually a series of towns, the largest being Jackson the valley between the Grand Teton and Gros Ventre Mountains. The world-class skiing and winter recreation resorts here make it the most upscale destination in Wyoming.

The most happening hot spot in the cold is Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Rendezvous Mountain is considered America’s greatest continuous vertical rise among downhill aficionados. There are also trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain-biking. Make reservations well in advance at (307) 733-2292.
