Above the Ordinary

It might be our Western heritage showing, but we believe in doing things right. Whether it’s our own wellness, our neighbors, our children, or the landscape around us, we know that the things we value deserve our care. Jackson Hole’s spirit of generosity, compassion, and commitment permeates every element of the community.

Individual Strength

Hand in hand with Jackson Hole’s enthusiasm for outdoor recreation is our passion for personal health and wellness. An array of local yoga studios offer a diversity of classes: multiple kinds of yoga, pilates, barre, martial arts, dance, and more. For those seeking to train for outdoor pursuits, local gyms are home to many elite mountain athletes and offer classes like ski fit and conditioning. Fitness opportunities are endless, from outdoor sports, to community sport teams, to the downtown recreation center or nature’s own version of a stair stepper (pick any peak!).

Spirit of Generosity

Jackson Hole is home to over 200 nonprofit organizations. Whether your passion is rehabilitating injured eagles, fostering a love of reading in kids, facilitating backcountry rescues, or eliminating food insecurity, you’ll find an enthusiastic, innovative organization that aligns with your personal cause. Supported by the community’s inspiring generosity, fundraisers like Old Bill’s Fun Run generate millions of dollars each year to further important philanthropic efforts.

Old Bill’s has brought over $173 million philanthropic dollars to our community.

Sterling Stewardship

With 3.4 million acres of National Forest and 2.5 million acres of National Park, we’re fortunate to share these wild, open spaces with grizzly bears, mountain lions, moose, elk, wolves, coyotes, eagles, and more. We’re passionate about protecting this landscape, and those we share it with. The wildness is integral to who we are; roaming free in the untamed mountains and along the crystal-clear rivers is more than recreation, it’s restorative to our souls. And we’re determined to protect it for generations to come. Only 2% of Teton County is Private land, and 1% of that deeded into conservation by individuals.
