I'm a New Yorker who visited Jackson Hole for the first time. 8 things surprised me.
02.11.2024 - 12:03 / insider.com
I grew up in the tri-state area, spent some years in Texas, and then moved back to the East Coast to start my life in New York City.
That was more than five years ago, and If I've learned anything about living in this gritty metropolis, it's that sometimes you need a break.
Enter Jackson Hole, Wyoming — the 60-mile-long valley bordering Grand Teton National Park. This section of Teton County comprising the towns of Jackson, Teton Village, Wilson, and others, has fewer than 11,000 residents. The top 1% of those residents earn an average of $16 million a year — 132 times more than the rest — making Jackson Hole the most unequal place in the US in terms of income, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
It's essentially a luxury mountain town where billionaires and celebrities like Kanye West and the Kardashians hide out from the fast-paced lifestyle dominating cities around the US.
I visited the Wyoming wealth enclave for the first time in September when I needed some time away from my bustling home city.
I got the nature getaway I expected but was surprised by many aspects of the region, from the luxe airport to the mansions in the mountains.
