Description
Visitors can tour downtown Jackson Hole in the carriage of a horse drawn stagecoach. Pulled by an enormous pair of Clydesdale horses, the red-and-yellow local stagecoach is modeled after the original 19th century coaches that traversed the territories carrying mail and supplies.
Both the town of Jackson and the valley surrounding it, Jackson Hole, were named for David E. Jackson, an itinerant trader in the employ of a fur company, but it would be decades after he and his fellow trappers explored the valley that the town of Jackson was established, in 1894. Soon after, homesteaders began to trickle in, lured by the prospect of open land for the taking. Many of the earliest settlers gave their names to towns, roads and landmarks throughout Jackson Hole, and their descendants still ranch or reside within the valley. After all, why would anyone want to leave?
Although the nearby national parks have always drawn sightseers, Jackson Hole’s tourist trade truly took root in the 1920s, when dude ranches like the still-operating Triangle X Ranch began inviting visitors to stay. Beckoned by the mystique of cowboy life and the romance of the open plains, visitors came in droves to escape their more urban existences for the simple and robust pleasures of ranch life. Although the cowboy lifestyle has been endangered somewhat by encroaching development, the spirit of Jackson Hole remains true to its original residents.
