The Areas Beyond Jackson Hole
When most people picture Jackson Hole, they imagine the Town Square, the elk antler arches, and the slopes of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. But the valley extends far beyond that view — stretching across canyons, rivers, and even state lines to form one of the most dynamic mountain regions in the Rockies.
In Jackson, neighborhoods range from the rolling meadows of Bar B Bar Ranch and Spring Creek Ranch to family-friendly communities like Melody Ranch and Rafter J. To the west, Wilson offers a blend of forested privacy and proximity to Teton Pass, while Teton Village anchors the valley with world-class skiing and alpine adventure.
Across the pass, in Teton County, Idaho, lie the charming towns of Driggs, Victor, and Tetonia. These communities offer expansive views of the Tetons from the “quiet side” of the range, where rural charm meets growing appeal. Neighborhoods like Snow Crest Ranch, Ski Hill Road, and North Leigh Creek provide access to outdoor recreation with a more laid-back pace of life.
To the south, Star Valley, Wyoming unfolds with wide-open landscapes, trout-filled rivers, and small towns like Alpine, Thayne, and Afton. From golf course living at Star Valley Ranch to the ranch lands of Etna and Bedford, this area captures the valley’s rural roots and sense of community.
Together, these regions—Jackson Hole, Teton Valley, and Star Valley—form a connected mountain ecosystem. Each offers its own flavor of the Teton lifestyle: adventure, serenity, and an enduring connection to the land.
