The Photo of the Week


This photo is of the town square. In the foreground, there is an archway made out of real elk antlers. In the background, tall aspens and pines are decorated with Christmas lights in a soft blue.

For more information about the town square, please read here:
"In 1932, the local Rotary Club planted trees in the center of Jackson and constructed four picturesque arches made from hundreds of elk antlers in the 1950s and 60s. Today, the trees offer summertime shade and the arches, which are probably in the photo albums of almost every visitor who comes to Jackson, mark the corners of the Town Square. During the winter, when the arches and trees are blanketed with snow and decorated with lights, the Square takes on a festive atmosphere. A focal point for tourist activity in Jackson, the Square, which is surrounded by dozens of boardwalk-fronted art and photo galleries, bars, restaurants, factory outlets and gift shops, is in a prime location for the shopping savvy." - Courtesy of Jackson Hole Net.
