Adventuring through the wild snow-packed hills of Jackson Hole is what draws most travelers to our town, but there’s plenty more to do in Jackson Hole besides skiing! Here’s a list of some non-skier things you can enjoy in the snow, the sunshine, and while relaxing in Jackson Hole.
Top 3 Things To Do In Downtown Jackson Hole
Million Dollar Cowboy Bar
Established in 1937, the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is definitely a bucket list attraction. This place is famous for its live music, western-style dancing and truly “cowboy” vibe, and is located just off Town Square.
“Countless celebrities, presidents, royalty, cowhands, as well as people from all walks of life, have enjoyed great fun within the walls of the iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.” – Million Dollar Cowboy Bar
Jackson Hole Elk Antler Arches
One of the most iconic landmarks in our state, the Elk Antler Arches flank Town Square and are a must-see during your trip. The original was first built at the entrance of George Washington Memorial Park by the local Rotary Club in 1953. There are four arches – one for each corner of the square, and each one will last 30-40 years before needing to be rebuilt again.
