There isn’t any better skiing than Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee. But…
Grand Teton
there is a time of year that is the best of all worlds…the time between fall and winter. October is the low season for Jackson Hole (not an inexpensive place) so any relief is appreciated.Begin your visit at Jackson Square. This quaint downtown area is packed with restaurants, shopping and galleries.

The National Elk Refuge
Established in 1912 the National Elk Refuge covers 25,000 acres in the Jackson Hole Valley.

A beautiful antelope relaxing on the refuge. As we drove along the road, he was curious and watched us for several minutes before finding a quieter resting place.
The Miller House was built at the turn of the century. Robert E. Miller was the first supervisor of the Teton National Forest. In 1915 the Fish and Wildlife Service purchased the house and acreage to be the nucleus of the National Elk Refuge.
