Nature is the big draw in Jackson Hole. But if your body needs a break from all the hiking, skiing and all-around adventuring, this rugged mountain town in northwest Wyoming also has plenty of urban charms, too. You’ll find numerous boutiques, shops and markets to peruse. 

As you might expect in such an outdoorsy destination, many of the stores in downtown Jackson sell gear and apparel designed for active pursuits. (The well-known outdoor brand Stio was founded in Jackson Hole and still has its flagship location here.) 

Yet other stores spotlight Jackson Hole’s artsier side. You can snag a piece of home decor made from elk antlers at Onyx & Antler, or a landscape photograph at Brookover Gallery. You’ll also find plenty of places to add some Western wear to your wardrobe, like Beaver Creek Hat & Leather Company or Grit General. 

Ready for some retail therapy? Here are five can’t-miss shopping spots for your next trip to Jackson Hole.

If so, head to Womenfolk, a consignment shop stocked with pre-loved designer apparel sourced from Jackson Hole closets. The selection of vintage pieces changes regularly, though you can expect to reliably find pieces like leather fringe jackets, cowboy boots and hats, belts, turquoise jewelry, vests and Western button-down shirts. And if you want to keep up with Womenfolk’s latest treasures once you get home, follow their Instagram page to be alerted to new arrivals.

Bodega evokes a New York City corner store, and adds a bit of Western flair. Located at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, this shop has everything you need for an après-ski (or après-hike) get-together. 

Pop in for a bottle of wine, a six-pack of craft beer, a bag of chips, charcuterie fixings, locally raised meats and other gourmet products, as well as pantry staples. Or sidle up to the intimate bar for a “sloshie” – a refreshingly boozy frozen drink ($10.99 for 16 ounces) available in a rotating
