Jackson Wyoming Accommodations

Best Time to Visit Jackson, WY

Winters in Jackson grow bitterly cold, so you'll only want to visit between November and February if you're looking forward to strapping on a pair of skis. Even then, you'll want to shoot for January and February to get the best powder and to avoid the icy streets that often develop during early winter. Expect highs in the 20s and lows below zero, so don't forget to pack plenty of warm clothing to protect yourself.

If you're interested in seeing animals, shoot for an April or May vacation. You'll get to see the animals emerge from hibernation, and many local fauna have spawned and produced baby animals. You'll get to see all stages of wildlife if you visit the right destinations, and the temperatures will have warmed up enough to step outside without a ski jacket.

Most people visit Jackson in the summer because of the weather and convenience, but this increased tourist traffic drives up hotel rates and increases crowding. You're better off visiting during the shoulder seasons if you're interested in rest, relaxation, and quietude. Just as a spring vacation offers animal sightings, a fall vacation brings beautiful color changes on the local foliage. The tourists have fled the region, so you'll enjoy plenty of the town to yourself.
