Jackson, Wyoming

This is the second journal entry from our trip to Yellowstone National Park. We entered the town of Jackson, Wyoming at about 5 p.m. on our second night of travel. I would suggest you make reservations if you are planning to stay here. There aren't many towns near Jackson, and it is a very popular destination. The town lays just south of Grand Teton National Park so it becomes a basecamp for many. Fortunately, we found a spot at The Virginian RV Resort. The Virginian was a nice place to stay as it was pretty centrally located in town. It is an urban-type campground, so if you are looking for a more traditional camping experience, you would probably want to try a campground outside of town. Below is  the view of the Snow King Ski Resort as seen from downtown Jackson.

Jackson is a very clean and tourist friendly town. There are many themed stores, restaurants of all types, and even cowboy exhibitions in the streets. When we were there, we witnessed a good old-fashioned shootout.

The picture below was taken at Town Square, a beautiful park located in the center of Jackson.

I would definitely recommend stopping at the Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center just north of Jackson and south of Grand Teton National Park. It is very much worth a visit.
