Review of Jackson, Wyoming


What mountains?
Star Rating - 2/15/2006
I was so surprised when I visited last year that from the town of Jackson you cannot see any of the Tetons! The town is a touristy area that caters to the wealthy, who, by the way, have THEIR homes on the mountainsides where there IS a view to the Tetons. Expensive place to visit probably because there is no other place to stay near the National Park. My experience was filled with snooty waiters and the unspoken expectation that I should have more money if I want to be in Jackson. I can't resist: Jackson WY, what a hole!

Michael, if Denis's reply is indicative of the snobby attitude in Jackson, you are spot on with your comments! "Let me eat cake!" Lol!

Jackson is a beautiful place! And yes it does come with a very high price but it is definetly worht it in my opion. The Jackson community is filled with very kind people but living here the last six years I completley agree about catering to the wealthy, anytime I walk into a store not dressed in the designer brands and looking just perfect I feel like I am constently being "Expected to have more money". However the majority of the people in the town are very kind.. It's mostly just the wealthy who believe that because they have money it makes them better and superior to those who don't... If you drive into jackson from the south entering through Alpine or Pinedale who can see the tetons very well and I have gotten many stunning pictures of the sunset behind the tetons driving through town, and if you drive three blocks past the Town Square and Turn around you can see the tetons again quit clearly...I live 5 miles out of town foing south and I can see the Tetons out of my bedroom window.
