Wilson Wyoming is nestled between the Teton
and Gros Ventre mountain ranges just west
of Jackson Wyoming. It is home of Grand Teton
National Park and has some of the closest access
to Yellowstone
National Park. The Snake River Flows through
the Valley and The Grand Teton towers
above it at 13,770 feet above sea level.
Jackson is also home to the national Elk
Refuge where thousands of elk winter right
outside of the town of Jackson.
Wilson is known best for the character
that first came to jackson Hole, Nick Wilson
who homesteaded in Wilson. There was a movie
made about some of his exploits as a teenager
called Wind River, he had run away from his
home in Utah in 1856 to live with the indians
in the Wind River Valley. Nick Wilson traveled
through Jackson Hole in route to the Wind
River Country.
Wilson's early days were lived in western
tradition, during the 60's the hippies moved
in and now it is an onclave of wealthy urban
escapees.
