Cute town worth a day trip
What a cute town!! We’re from California, Northern might I add, and this town kind of reminds me of a cute Tahoe area like a mini state line kind of. Lots of cute boutiques and stores. Tons of t shirt and souvenir shops, I think shirt off my back had the best deals for souvenir shirts i saw in town. People were very friendly even when it was packed w tourist. Definitely a cute tourist town, everything is kind of pricey but you should expect that i think. Tons of restaurants, I’d recommend mapping them out and making reservations as far ahead as possible especially w COVID a lot of places were reservations only for dinner i noticed. Bring your camera there’s the really neat antler arches at each corner of the town square you’ll wanna take pics under. And not too far out of town square is snow king area, it’s family fun. They have mini golf and mazes and a few rides and a gondola or ski lift. We rode the cowboy coaster and it was a blast. $50 for 3 of us, 2 adults and one child. We all had a blast riding that. Really crazy views up there and your kiddo can ride w you if they can’t go alone. Parks are everywhere, i can think of 3 w in the town square. There’s a neat one back by snow king area that had a rock climbing area. 3-5 structures kids and adults could climb on and tons of green grass to hang on while the kids play. I recommend coming to check the town out for a day. I noticed they had a farmers market down there too on either Saturday or Sunday morning i don’t remember which. We missed it but it looked neat. Definitely try a day here :)

Elk Antler Arch - Great Place to Get a Photo
At each corner of the park there are huge archways made of elk antlers. Elk yearly shed their antlers, so you don’t have to worry if the antlers are coming from elk that were shot by hunters. The antlers are reportedly collected by the Boy Scouts from the nearby National Elk Refuge and the arches are periodically rebuilt as needed. The first antler arch was built in 1953. The park, located in the center of Jackson, is a historical landmark and is very popular for picture-taking by tourists. I’ve never been there at Christmas when the antlers are decorated and lit with Christmas lights, but the pictures are beautiful. I still remember the 1st time we visited the park, which was back in the early 80’s, and my son got lost during the 4th of July parade. (PaM)
