Jackson Scavenger Hunt: More than Mountains in Jackson, Wyoming

Activity Info: More than Mountains in Jackson, Wyoming

Jackson, Wyoming, is so closely associated with the valley in which it sits and the neighboring Jackson Hole Mountain Resort that most people think the town itself is called Jackson Hole. It isnʼt—it's just Jackson—and there is so much more to this town than its proximity to the slopes. On the More than Mountains in Jackson, Wyoming scavenger hunt, you'll find out just how much more!

The land Jackson now occupies was once part of a vast territory stewarded by the Shoshone, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Crow, and Ute peoples, among others. By the time the first homesteaders arrived, however, the valley had been empty for nearly twenty years—since 1868, when the Treaty of Fort Bridger narrowed the boundaries of the Wind River Reserve. The first U.S. settlers arrived to find a wild, deserted land—the kind of place that attracts fierce women and lawless men. Jackson had its fair share of both.
