Jackson

Time to relax in Jackson, or how about joining a scenic trip down the Snake River? Enjoy an 8-mile float trip that begins at Pritchard Creek and travels past the nesting areas of both bald eagles and ospreys. Later, the afternoon is free in Jackson to explore the shops and museums of historic downtown. This evening, maybe stroll along the old-time boardwalks downtown and enjoy supper at one of the swing-door saloons. (CB)

We have had a lovely restful day in Jackson, today [Wednesday, 3 September]   Had a bit of sleep in this morning.     

Had a good evening last night, went by Stage Coach to a camp, where Indians ambushed us on the way.  We had a cook out tea in the bush, and live show.    There was 4 piece band and the fiddler was top class, a great evening, everyone enjoyed there evening.

Jackson Square


Bill at Jackson Square
Antlers archers have been gates to the Jackson Town Square since 1960.   The Antlers are from Elk that winter on the National Elk refuge.    About 7,500 Elk spend each winter on the refuge.     The Bulls shed their antlers each spring.    Antlers are picked up by local Boy Scouts and sold by Public Auction in the square each May.     All four Archers were built by the Jackson Hole Rotary Club.

Sculptures
All of the Footpaths around the Square at Jackson are in Boards.
