Meanwhile, in the spring and fall seasons, the town slows down as only the 6,000 or so year-round residents remain (and many of them may leave during this time as well) and many of the hotels and restaurants close for the season. Each of the seasons have their pluses and minuses depending on the visitor&#8217;s expectations and desires, but it pays to know what time of year is best for what activity, especially in Jackson&#8217;s unique high-altitude environment.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson, Wyoming is a very popular tourist town bringing in tourists from all over the country.\u00a0Throughout the town elk antler arches are a big attraction that tourists enjoy.\u00a0A few of the places nearby to visit include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grand Teton National Park: A national park that includes the Teton Mountain Range, this National park is roughly 310,000 acres.
