- Hey guys and gals.
Welcome to our video about
fun things to do in Jackson, Wyoming.
There are so many really fun things to do,
we've had to limit it to just a few for this video
but definitely check the blog 'cause we'll list more,
link is below
and one of the top things to do
when you're in Jackson,
is of course to visit Grand Teton National Park.
It's beautiful,
it has big mountains,
there's so many wonderful things
but this thing is going to cover the other things
to do in Jackson besides the park.
Make sure you give us a thumbs up please
and a comment
and a like
and share
and tell your friends
and all that stuff too.

Have dinner at the Bar-J Chuckwagon.
As someone just told me,
if you're in New York you have to see the statue,
if you're in San Francisco you need to see the bridge
and if you're in Jackson,
you need to catch the dinner
and show at the Bar-J Chuckwagon.
Every night in the summer there's music,
there's a barbecue
and there's even veggie burgers if you want them,
and horses
and a whole western thing going on here.
(country music)
Downtown Jackson
and the town square
where you've got the Antler Arches
and a nice green space.
You gotta come check it out if you're in Jackson.
There's lots of shops
and tons of restaurants
if you're walking around.
Lots to see and do,
lots of western stuff
and art.
Like I said,
the Antler Arches,
you gotta get a picture in front of the Antler Arches.

There is always something
going on in Jackson in the summer.
We are at Old West Days right now at the Brewfest
and last weekend was Elkfest.
There's a rodeo every night in the summer,
there's a shoot out six nights a week
on the town square.
There's arts festivals,
film festivals,
and so many other things.
They have a beautiful performing arts center here
so you can catch a play
or science fair,
or other activity there.
We will link to the calendar in the blog post
that goes with this article
so you can find out what is going on in Jackson
when you're in town.

Take a hike or bike ride right in town.
Jackson has all kinds of great trails
like Snow King,
which is the local ski area
but you can hike up to the top in the morning.
Get a view of the Tetons.
We're not even at the top,
and the tow of Jackson behind us.
There's bike trails along Flat Creek.
You can go up Cache Creek,
which is a forest service trail right through town.
Right from town I should say.
So all kinds of ways to get out
and get movin' before you start your day.

Take a tour of Vertical Harvest.
This is a super cool,
hydroponic green house system,
they grow lettuces
and tomatoes
and micro greens.
You can take a tour of it Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday,
one o'clock.
Or you can stop by whenever they're open
and watch these plants,
they rotate on these big rotators.
I don't know what they're called.
So that they get equal amounts of sunlight
and water.
It's a really cool program to grow a lot of food
in a really small place relatively
and a lot of the people that work here
are intellectually disabled
which is part of the mission to provide jobs.
Overall it's great.
They supply food for restaurants
and grocery stores,
or you can just buy it here.

Take the tram at Jackson Hole.
You can ride that iconic red tram
up to the top of the mountain
and grab a waffle at Corbet's Cabin.
If it's nice out you can play
and go for a hike,
and if it's snowy,
like it is this time of year,
you can play in the snow.

Have a drink at a saloon.
You can't come to the Old West
and not have a drink at a Saloon.
Whether that's root beer or regular beer,
or whisky,
or whatever you like to drink.
So we especially like the Silver Dollar Saloon
'cause it's fun,
it's old,
it's historic.
The Cowboy Bar's great too,
there's a ton of places here in Jackson to grab a drink.
(country music)
Go out to eat in Jackson,
there's so many really good restaurants
that you're gonna find something for everybody.
It's not gonna be cheap
but it's gonna be delicious.
There's a lot of local
and farmed table
and boutique-y kind of stuff
so make sure you check it out.
Plus good waffles at a lot of places.
(country music)
Have an adventure at Snow Kind Resort.
We got the Big King pass.
Sorry I'm very excited.
We're taking the chairlift up
to do the ropes course up in the trees.
The tree top adventure.
There's an alpine slide,
there's a cowboy coaster,
there's a maze,
there's a putt putt golf course,
there's so much to do up here.
- So much.
