Jackson (Wyoming) tourist information
The terms "Jackson" and "Jackson Hole" are often mistakenly interchanged. "Jackson" is the name of the town, while "Jackson Hole" refers to either the greater valley area including, for example, the towns of Wilson and Kelly.
Be aware that Jackson transforms from a popular ski town during the winter into an all-out tourist mecca during the summer. Meanwhile, in the spring and fall seasons, the town can feel empty as only the 6,000 or so year-round residents remain (and many of them may leave during this time as well) and many of the hotels and restaurants close for the season. Each of the seasons have their pluses and minuses depending on the visitor's expectations and desires, but it pays to know what time of year is best for what activity, especially in Jackson's unique high-altitude environment.
Jackson Hole Visitor Center, 532 North Cache Drive, +1 307 739-3606 . Mostly a gift shop, but also very friendly staff with good maps and local knowledge, and some wildlife exhibits on the upper floor and outside. On your right on the way out of town on Hwy 89 north.
