In 1929, Congress designated the Grand Tetons a national monument. There was much debate over whether to create a national park for the Grand Tetons. After years of debate, however, Congress added acreage to Grand Teton National Park. Now, there are more than 500 hiking trails in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area offers plenty of things to do year-round, and is especially suited to outdoor enthusiasts. The town is home to two major national parks &#8211; Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park &#8211; which each receive upwards of 3 million visitors each year. In addition to hiking, rafting, and mountain biking, there are several scenic drives around the region. No matter when you plan to visit Jackson Hole, you will find a place that fits your style, whether you prefer skiing, hiking, fishing, or just relaxing on the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city has a lot to offer tourists who want to experience the rugged beauty of the Tetons. It&#8217;s a great time to explore the area&#8217;s parks and take advantage of the warm weather. Elk bugling in the spring and a clear sky in the fall are two other reasons to visit. While the weather is warm during summer, the Tetons are at their most beautiful in the fall, when their base glows gold and their summits are covered in snow. If you&#8217;re looking for something a little different, you might try the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, which often hosts artists and speakers. For the foodies, you&#8217;ll find a James Beard Bakery at the Persephone Bakery, which is a good way to sample the region&#8217;s culinary offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Jackson is a great place to explore. The area is home to several national parks and wildlife refuges. The town offers a variety of guided activities, from hiking to whitewater rafting. For those who enjoy snow activities, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort offers top-notch runs. During winter, you can enjoy the scenic views of the National Elk Refuge, while hiking or biking at the mountain. If you&#8217;re looking for an exciting outdoor adventure, the National Elk Refuge is an excellent option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jackson Hole valley is enclosed by mountains, and is about 48 miles long and eight to fifteen miles wide. The valley&#8217;s floor slopes dramatically from sea level to the crest of the Grand Teton in the south. Throughout history, this area has played an important role in the development of the U.S. geo-historical process. During the 19th century, the town became a popular destination for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jackson Hole region is also a popular destination for wildlife lovers. During the winter, the National Elk Herd spends most of the winter in the national Elk Refuge, and is a great place to spot wildlife. Moose and elk often walk into backyards and rest in front of homes. Bald eagles feed on roadkill. It&#8217;s an incredible experience to be in the middle of nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first national park in the United States was in Yellowstone National Park, and that&#8217;s when Jackson Hole began to attract tourists.
