BILLED AS THE "LAST OF THE OLD WEST", Jackson Hole
is located in the northwest corner of Wyoming. The upper valley of the Snake
River, or 'hole" as the early trappers called valleys, is about 70 miles
long and 10 miles wide. It is rimmed on the north side by the Pitchstone
Plateau of Yellowstone National Park, on the west side by the Grand Teton
range, the east side by the Gros Ventre (Gro Vont) range, and on the south side
by the
Snake River range of mountains. The Snake River runs from the north
to south through the valley, winding through flat meadowlands interspersed with
stands of fir, lodgepole pine and aspen trees. Jackson's altitude is
approximately 6,200 feet above sea level. The alpine climate results in four
distinct seasons. During recent years the coldest temperature recorded was
-36º F on December 12, 1990 and the warmest was 95º F on June 25,
1998. Snowfall ranges from 88 to over 400 inches per year depending on
location.
THE VALLEY HAS THREE MAJOR BANKS and several private mortgage companies that
handle the bulk of the real estate financing. All these institutions offer very
competitive interest rates. Rents, not including utility costs, range from
$600.00 to $2,000.00 per month, depending on size, location, and condition of
the home or apartment. The continuing strong demand for rental housing creates
a consistent shortage of rental units including apartments, condominiums and
single-family homes.
BESIDES THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN TOWN, there are four outlying grade schools
within Jackson Hole, which are located in Wilson, Moran, Kelly and Alta.
However, all children of Junior High and High School age are transported by bus
to Jackson each day for school. All the schools employ excellent teaching
staffs, and offer students broad exposure to athletics and the artistic,
creative, industrial and commercial fields.
VALLEY RESIDENTS ENJOY the atmosphere and friendliness of
a small rural community, as well as the great natural beauty and many out door
activities the valley affords-hiking, boating, hunting, fishing, scenic and
whitewater float trips, and mountain climbing; plus the winter sports of
snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and alpine skiing at three
major ski areas just minutes from town. The development of these three areas
helped establish Jackson Hole as a world-famous skiing center as well as an
unrivaled all-season recreational resort area. A myriad of other activities
makes Jackson an excellent place to raise children and enjoy close family
harmony. Ray has assembled the following links to help you learn more about Jackson Hole's most popular resorts.
