This town in Wyoming is a hotspot for vacationers during the summer months but during the fall, the summer crowds are long gone. Fall is the perfect time to visit Jackson while the air is crisp and the aspens are at their peak in color. It’s as if an artist has taken a paintbrush and painted the trees throughout the Jackson Hole valley in some of the most vibrant colors imaginable.
