The silver lining to long Wyoming winters are the gorgeous landscapes they create. It may be treacherous to drive in at times, but it’s hard not to stop and stare in wonder when everything is layered in sparkling snow and accented with glittering icicles. As a matter of fact, one spot in Wyoming is so especially stunning covered in snow that it’s been named among the world’s most beautiful places to escape to in the winter. If you’ve ever been to Jackson Hole between October and April, we think you’ll agree.
With stunning natural attractions all around, Jackson Hole can't help but be a beautiful place to visit in the winter.
Grand Teton National Park, the Grand Teton Mountain Range, Yellowstone National Park, and the National Elk Refuge are just some of the scenic places you can see in the Jackson Hole area.
Almost everywhere you turn, the views are picture-perfect.
If you didn't know better, the setting might seem staged for a Christmas card photoshoot.
Plus, you can ski your cares away at the two incredible ski resorts located within 12 miles of each other right in the valley.
If you're not into downhill skiing, there are plenty of other activities that will take you outside to appreciate the exquisite winterscape, including snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, and sleigh rides through the Elk Refuge. Alternatively, indulge in some pampering while you enjoy the view from inside one of Jackson Hole's world-class spas.
Possibly the very best thing about Jackson Hole is that all of this magnificent beauty surrounds the small but well-appointed city of Jackson. That means you get the best of two worlds: the comforts and conveniences of civilization right alongside the pristine beauty of nature.
What's more, the conveniences include an airport.
You don't even have to have a private jet, either. There are regular commercial flights in and out of the Jackson Hole Airport, including non-stop flights from JFK, Houston, and Seattle/Tacoma.
When you need to escape, there's no better place to slow down and reconnect with Nature than this spectacular little slice of Heaven.
Of course, the entire state is transformed once winter hits. What Wyoming spot do you think is a gorgeous place to escape to in winter?
