Here is an option for anyone wanting to visit Jackson. If you would like to visit and not burn a hole in your pocket stay in Pinedale, Wyoming which is about a 1:45 minute drive to get to Jackson. It's a beautiful drive. Then you can just spend the entire day in Jackson. Again, it's just an option. Safe Travels either way.
Anyone remember Jackson in the 80's? Pure perfection.
I sure do. Born there in '78.
Even better in the 70s!
I do. LOL
@@stephaniemccord6100 even better in the 60’s ... the 1860’s
I was a canoe guide on the Snake River in 1973. Spent hours in and around Jackson. I loved it, many great memories. Won't go back again, nothing is the same there anymore.
My daughter went to Berkeley Architectural school and her first job she had her boss had the Landscape design for the Elk Museum and He was so busy he gave the project to her. I have taken a tour with her and every thing she designed outside is amazing and so proud of her first project.
Ask her why the avalanche wall is so close?
Paul that’s pretty cool you must be a proud dad.
That's fabulous!! From one parent to another, I'm happy for you.
I live in Evanston, WY in the southwest corner of Wyoming. We go to Jackson and Yellowstone all the time. I have a tip to viewing the Tetons. Find out what time the sun rises. Head out an hour before sunrise and situate yourself in one of the pulls outs just off the highway with a great view. When the sun rises and turns the tips of the Tetons a beautiful pinkish yellow, you will know it was worth it... bring a coat. Also, most beautiful time to go to Yellowstone is mid-September. The colors change early there.

Hi, i am from England Wyoming is on our 'bucket list' my husband & I plan to visit next year or 2022 if covid is under control - looks a wonderful place, i expect you love living there? 🌞🤗
@@alisonstroud1653 I LOVE summer in Wyoming and early autumn. However, winter temperatures regularly get down to -28.9°C and have even been know to get as low as -40°C. The cold, combined with the winds we have here, make winter and spring not so desirable. We experienced snow this year in mid-June, as well as mid-September. It was brutal! Another thing to know about Wyoming, is that if you are just driving on I-80 (the main highway through the state), Wyoming looks quite boring and not very pretty to many people, but there are many beautiful locations throughout the state. If you have the time, in addition to Wyoming, please take the time to visit the beautiful National Parks in Utah. Arches is stunning! Also, don’t miss Goblin Valley. It feels like you step out of your car and onto the moon! So many diverse landscapes in Utah. I could go on and on. Just be sure to do your research. Watch CZcams videos and even look on Pinterest for travel location ideas to get the most out of your vacation. I hope you enjoy your visit.
@@philm9593 I’m so glad that I can be of help.
@@alisonstroud1653 when you go take clothes for all 4 seasons. We went around the 3rd week of September and in less than an hour we experienced all 4 seasons. I beemed my ex with a snowball lol
All great advice! We've found on several trips where breakfast lines are really long is to just do brunch (if available), which also sets you up for an earlier dinner, since you'll be skipping lunch, which can put you ahead of dinner crowds.
I've used Wolter's advice when travelling abroad many times. Loved his advice for Ireland and Scottland! I put it to good use! I have a vacation home in Jackson, WY so it's great to see that Wolter made a video there during the pandemic. I was there a month ago for ten days and Jackson was packed with people. Wolter's advice for the do's and don'ts in JH is spot on! Thanks again for another quality travel video!
Stupid
@@Larsx22 excuse you...
Took my wife to Jackson for her first visit this past September. Yes, it was very busy. However, we planned our trip, booking tours, float trips, a fly fishing trip, and dinners in advance. This made for an extremely pleasing trip. We are planning a winter trip now already booking excursions and lodging.
Check out Pinedale, Wyoming.
I live in Wyoming, we call it Jackson Hole Wyoming. Jackson hole is the rich part of the state. If you want real cowboys, go to Cody.
Skinny jeans in Jackson
Cody??? Bwahahaahaa!
I moved away 3 years ago. I just visited, the politics are a mess. Along with the pass ramp. lmao.
Cody? Isn't that where Kanye West lives?
Jackson is the town and the valley is Jackson Hole. I lived there too.
This was about the most inspiring travel to America clip I think I've seen... Ever.. first introduction to food I would actually eat , you filmed real hopes in a location for the authenticity of the historical and the functions of a tourism industry and locals making that happen...
I'm not a ski enthusiast nor care for nature walks but the way you captured that area made me feel like I just wanted a big deep breath of that mountain air , that misty clearing morning clarity and a sense of fulfillment from having long distance imaginations all the way from Australia just wondering how accurately my mind's eye can match what I one day hope to see for myself. Then I'll think back to this comment and marry up my inspired line to my impressions when I'm finally there at Jackson.. Wyoming here I come ...whoooo
Best job I ever had was just a 1hr ride from Jackson. Loved guiding fishing trips in the area!
Was there in mid 70s I remember the antlers and the Tetons I’m sure it was more affordable back then but it was fairly tourist heavy anyway thanks for posting it’s beautiful!
Been there twice. Late December of 2017. The coldest weather I've ever experienced. -22 on Christmas eve. Then again in May of 2019. Both times I stayed in an RV park in Moran.
Wolters World, you have some very great tips on visiting Jackson. Especially booking early, making reservations and giving the wildlife their space. Things to note; if you don't book early, don't expect to camp in your RV or vehicle overnight as it's illegal within the town limits. Booking early also applies to some of the RV parks and finding a campsite in the national forest can be tricky if you don't arrive super early. Respecting the wildlife, thank you so much for commenting on this!! The wildlife here are so magnificent and they do require space. Too often we find tourists standing within 5 feet of a moose to take a selfie...while they may leave this unscathed, moose can be incredibly aggressive when pushed too far. Driving at night, watch for the wildlife, this is not the time to take your eyes off the road for a second, they cross the highways a great deal. Moose and buffalo are super hard to see at night. Finally, the traffic. Since Jackson Hole has become such a popular destination, the highways have become unbelievably busy especially during commuter hours. People still work here and must commute from outlying areas into work. This can cause traffic delays up to half an hour at times possibly more depending on the amount of traffic. If you're headed back from the park for a dinner reservation, plan ahead for traffic delays. Great video!! :)
You answered my question I was going to post about camping at national park. Looks like I am going to have to reserve my spot well in advance.
You’re such a great guy! Thanks for the information, will be visiting this September.
Beautiful Jackson, Wyoming. Another great video!
I'm your local optometrist in Jackson Hole, and don't forget to bring spare glasses and contacts. I definitely don't have everything stocked and it takes a few days to order stuff in. Nothing is fast in Jackson especially the mail.
Traveled to Jackson, WY in June this past year. The early morning temperature was at 36 degrees. Rose to 70. Now I don’t know if it was the time of year but the prices were not bad. Hotel was affordable in the downtown area, plenty of parking, and able to walk in to a restaurant. Of course, what I did during my time was drive to Bozeman, MT from Jackson and that was the most beautiful drive I have ever taken.
Best drive 100%
i was on a motorcycle trip and camped somewhere in jackson hole and the temp dropped below freezing. i thought i was going to freeze to death.
All reasonable advice for Jackson. I'd add a few. Don't be afraid to walk places. Driving around Jackson can be a pita. If it's tourist season finding parking can be a nightmare. The town is small enough that you can walk almost anywhere in a reasonable time. If your budget is tight, there are places to eat that don't blow the budget, but they're not going to be near the town square. If you're visiting the parks, don't sleep in, get up early and get into the parks EARLY. The big attractions in GT and YS get busy FAST!
Jackson and gran teton national park are the most beautiful place I had been in the USA
I’m from CR and because of work I has traveled everywhere in the US and Grand Teton is amazing 🤩
What's CR?
Great post! Thanks for all the great tips for our visitors. First time I met my then to be future wife was in Jackson. That was 45 years ago! Great place, but like you say, expensive and sometimes a bit crowded but not a problem if you plan for it
I live in Idaho and go to Jackson every once in a while...you have done an excellent job of explaining the experience!
Very happy to have you and your wonderful family come through Jackson. We love our home here and appreciate the things you've mentioned
Thanks so much for the info......we live in Nevada and are planning to head up there in a few weeks! Love your videos!
Another great video. Thanks!
Maybe I'm just kinda partial, but I love the raw beauty of the whole state of Wyoming! I was born in Casper, lived there until I was 5 years old then moved away. I can't wait to retire cause that is where I'm going. Great review of Jackson by the way.
In Jackson right now! About to hit the town, thanks for the tips!
Beautiful area and great tips! We will be here soon within the month :) this video helped make our plans. Happy travels, cheers from Florida
This video has validated this channel for me.
Went there a few years ago in September and it was beautiful - one of the highlights as a herd of bison crossing the highway near Gros Ventre
this is a great video, Tetons/Jackson some of the most beautiful places in the US.
This is very useful, helpful, thank you!!!
Very nice video presentation, good research regarding the details. Thanks for sharing!
This is amazing thank you so much. Can’t wait
I loved visiting that town so fun and underrated!
The salad looks so good. I think elk tastes the best. It's no joke how expensive it is to stay in Jackson.
I clicked on this just to see some footage of the area but damn, those are AMAZING travel tips.
Informing video, thanks !
Awesome video thank you!
I live in Jackson Hole (not Jackson) and I think this is a very helpful, informative video. Thank you.
Lessss gooooooo Jackson gang
Is it really $500 a night? Wow crazy.
Thank you Karen. I appreciate hearing that. Have a great week!
@@fabmanly1070 it’s 300 a night at the super 8.
I’m at the cloudveil where I’m paying 800 a night for a small studio with 2 queen beds.
Great video! 😊 thank you!
Great video! This was helpful in planning our trip this year …that is, if we can find affordable lodging. Looking to come in Sept and prices are insane!
What a great video. I learned a lot from this.
So, I watch your travel videos all the time. This time I’m actually in the same place at the same time! Crazy! If you’re still in town let me know and I’ll buy you a cold one. Thanks for the video!
Another great video. Keep up the good work 👍
Good advice we went in August and Jackson is no cheap it’s so true and we tried to get a tour to see animals during the morning and we only went for 4 days and it was all booked. We drove around and to try to see as much as we could and we were lucky to see Moose, bears, bison, elks, etc. The traffic was so bad to go to the city of Jackson a lot of people for summer. It was our first time doing a big road trip from California. We ate in a pizza place in moose town my two kids loved it. I called the town Jackson Hole, I had not idea the town name was Jackson 😅😅🤭, thanks for clarifying.
I’m going in 9 days with a couple of friends. I can’t wait.
Every place I want to visit Wolter has done a video there!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s so beautiful there 🤩
I visited Jackson in June 2019 and I am planning to go back next year in either May or June.
Oh my God. You always show the best plates in your videos. They make me hungry.
frankly as soon as I have the opportunity I think Jackson will be my first city where I would go to the USA for my first trip to the United States it's too good I find the environment of Jackson sincerely!
05:11 it's a beauty ! god
I now see why my parents didn't just cancel their trip to Jackson Hole this time last year. They must have planned the trip for some time and were going for my dad's birthday. They're lucky that they made it to Dad's birthday this year. They both caught Covid sometime during or just after that trip. My dad was three weeks in the hospital. They're ok now but it was a scary time!
You know you live in modern times when travel tips consist of "don't try to get a selfie with a bear"
sad part is that I have to put that in there
We visit Jackson and Tetons every year, completely agree with everything here.
thanks Max!
Wonderful tips! We just booked our trip for this summer now that we’ve got our vaccines. Excited to explore Grand Tetons and Yellowstone!
Nice video! Very informative!
Jackson is Gatlinburg's Branson.
(Also, I was today years old when I found out that Jackson and Jackson Hole, WY are two different places)
Was there in late 70s or early 80s the best 4 days with 4 of my girlfriends, over Labor day weekend I think, it was the best, I think it was the saddle bar and saloon, the best weekend ever!
wishing we would of visited the art museum. Next time for sure. Number 1 thing you hit it right on Jackson is EXPENSIVE, but worth visiting.
that art museum is definitely a must see
Elk is the best! I’m a life long local and grew up on it. Great tips! Thanks for being a smart visitor who doesn’t try to stuff a baby Buffalo in your car! 🤦🏼♀️ Yes, that has happened. lol
it is crazy that stuff like that does happen. It's crazy
Excellent
We are staying at the Flat Creek Inn for the whole month of April for $1450. We love off season. Some places are closed but it is still amazing. We go to Yellowstone on opening day and there is not hardly any traffic at all.
THANK YOU!
Only time I was in Jackson Hole was for a weekend during college for the cutty sark races with the horses and sleigh on the lakes great time to see the elk
Thanks for tip on the park pass, being old is good for something I guess.
Thank you Sonja xx
Went there last Sept/Oct and the best Bison Ribeye is at Rustic Inn and Bistro!!!! Hands down!!!! 😋
So true on the affordability! I had to stay at a hostel and it was still ~$100 / day. Vlog in my channel! Great tips Mark!
Cool stuff!
“Family vacation” beer. Unbeatable
Que hermosa la ciudad de jackson.👍👋🇨🇱
You do this armchair traveler well, thank you!
😃😊😁!
Hallo Wolter. Vielen Dank für die guten Tipps. Werde dieses Jahr im September mit meinem besten Freund dort sein. Hast mir sehr geholfen mit diesem Video. Dankeschön.
great video ty
Man, not being able to travel (I'm in Madrid and we're semi locked down) makes me wanna travel even more!!
That's tough. Hopefully you'll get to travel again soon.
@@offthebeatenpathadventures1348 Fingers crossed for 2021 😃
exactly
You know what guys, if we just quit complying this medical tyranny (for a virus 99% survivable) would disappear. We have become such a dumber down, scared society, we let people that look at us like serfs and want us reduced in population, making decisions and scaring us. Turn off you TV. There is so much information being hidden from the average dolt that looks to mainstream media for answers. This is literally a world takeover under the guise of a 'pandemic'. If anyone is actually interested in learning something beyond the lies and propaganda on CNN or the BBC let me know, I'd be more than happy to get you information that is very hard to find.
Now let's see YT delete my comments again. Why are they so worried about people talking?.....🧐
Thank you for the greats tips on visiting Jackson. We will be there in a couple of weeks, all the way from Honolulu, staying 5 nights, and have booked our excursions already. I know you mentioned the Art Gallery, but are there any western museums in the area as well?
The elk steak and bison steak are to die for. So delicious. We had them at the Million Dollar Cowboy.
Living in Jackson this is sooooooo funny
Been there. Beautiful area, high priced, large animals, larger mountains.
Don't expect the hotels to have elevators. Don't expect all the people working in the restaurants and shops to be locals. Don't expect to walk at a good clip in town. Even with a fishing guide on a boat, do not expect to automatically catch fish.
Do tip well, it is expensive to be there for the tourists. Do prepare for the higher altitude, you may have a headache the first day, and the risk of sunburn is higher. Do pull off the road to take in the views.
Cash may or may not get you a better deal in the shops, go ahead and ask.
Have a navigator in town looking a block or two ahead at the traffic lights, you do not want to get stuck in the wrong lane.
Nice video. Last time I was in Jackson was 1982, and a few times before that. It's a place I'd like to see at least one more time.
Don't sweat it if you don't make it back. The place has completely changed since you were there, not for the better, IMHO. Savor your memories. It's not really Wyoming anymore. Think North Vail.
@@susans3411 I've been to Vail, but only once, and that was in 1979, so I guess I don't know much about that place today, either!
Huff House Inn its amazing, I loved it!
You forgot one man. Another one is don't forget to visit the Bar J Wranglers. They are an awesome country band that is family friendly, the also serve you great food to go along with their performance. Seeing them when you're in Jackson is a must.
This is the one definite MUST thing to do. We were so pleasantly surprised, and have done Bar J the last six years. However, this year is the last year for Bar J Wranglers.
Just stopped by to give my thumbs up before the game tonight. Also, I'm looking forward to wearing my Wolters World 1/4 zip when it gets here. Safe travels to everyone!
Go to the Jackson Hole Playhouse! I work there sometimes, and it’s so much fun!!
It really is worth it!
Man I miss it out there people in the town were nice but I miss driving along Flat creek at around 5:00 am in the dead of winter just seeing the elk, moose, and eagles roaming free I could just keep driving and getting out taking pictures of the wildlife and just being in the snow
When it’s snows it’s prettyy!
yes it is!
My grandfather built his house in Teton valley just outside Jackson about 25 years ago most beautiful place I’ve been and I wish it wasn’t halfway across the country from us
Oh my god that’s where i live
I’m glad you had so much fun😀
your is lucky !!
I living in france it's sad in my city " Aurillac
It's in the center france "region" " Auvergne " département du "Cantal "
The whole reason I would avoid Jackson is why I love Wyoming....at least the rest of it.
Traveled there in 2013!!! So nice to recall!!! Love your chanel wolter!!!
Thank you
Wyoming is one of those places to visit when you've exhausted the majority of your bucket list. It's in a part of the U.S. that is wide open, and there are many places that are representative of the Continental Divide type of territory. Do some homework and choose wisely.
Haven't been to Jackson since I was 5 years old. Thinking of visiting again. Bet the fishing is good there.
World class...
@@quincymcguire287 Not even close to world class. Try the other side of the divide in Idaho, namely the Henry's Fork, Teton River, Bitch creek...etc. Even better fishing near West Yellowstone. Or go to Cody and fish the South Fork of the Shoshone and other rivers. I've always wondered why people think Jackson has amazing fishing when it does not.
Thanks
Thanks for doing more USA videos
Very informational video on Jackson in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Definitely learned a lot! Is there an airport close by? Do most people drive in?
There is an airport about 15 minutes from Jackson.
The only airport located within a national park system. The Jackson Hole Airport. You can find many commercial flights in and out!
Just listening to all the cars made me realize I need to look for somewhere else to stay when I go to Wyoming. Although $500 a night would have steered me away anyhow. I paid almost that much in Boston but I didn't have to get a rental car so it kind of canceled out.
Wyoming born and raised. We live 90 miles from Jackson. Great video. Wish more "tourists" would watch this lol. PS... we eat elk every night. We don't buy Beef.
I was waiting for that "Don't mess with the animals" tip. Animals out west are nothing to be played with.
Precise information!
Oh stop it, you know the big fuzzy cow wants a giant hug!
thanks
