Fall is the perfect season to visit Jackson Hole, as the pace starts to slow down as the air turns crisp, and the foliage colors emerge. The stunning colors of fall can be enjoyed from a trail, path or river; on foot, horseback or bike.

LOCAL INSIGHTS
What’s been your most special Jackson experience?
“One Thanksgiving, my parents came to visit. We rented a slopeside home in Teton Village, and I skied with my Dad (his first time on skis in twenty years) and my two year old daughter (her first real ski runs), three generations skiing together was really special, an experience I will not forget. The same weekend, we saw Santa arrive on snowmobile and experienced the magical tree lighting on the Town Square.”

“Everything here is an artistic experience. Where else do you get the chance to see the clouds part and the Tetons revealed? Art here doesn’t exist without the outdoors. The artists that are here are most likely here because of the landscape. They might not be painting mountains or wildlife, but they draw creativity and inspiration from it. There is energy and beauty everywhere here. Jackson Hole is an artistic hub because of its mountains, rivers wildlife. Just being outside here is creative and inspiring.”
