The average home is $2 million. Folks that work there drive over from Idaho because they can't afford to live there. There are many, many nice ranches. One acre of land costs $1 million. The Walton (Wal-mart) family owns thousands of acres. The area is just beautiful. I can see why so many people vacation and love it here.


The downtown area is very unique.The town square has a beautiful park with antler arches on each of the 4 corners. The day before we arrived was the annual Elk fest. Next to Jackson is a huge Elk Refuge where over 5000 elk winter and have their food supply supplemented when necessary. In the spring when the elk shed their antlers they are collected by the Boy Scouts and auctioned off for money to fund the Boy Scouts in JH. This year they raised $800,000. In the winter when the elk are in the refuge the town had sleigh rides in to the refuge to see the elk up close.
