Getting to know the lingo when coming to Jackson Hole for the first time can be confusing. What's the difference between Jackson and Jackson Hole. Well, Jackson Hole is considered the entire 40x20 mile long valley. The town of Jackson lives at the southern end of Jackson Hole - where the infamous elk antler arches Town Square and the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar are. Jackson Hole Airport is in the south central part of the valley, and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is the ski resort just above Teton Village.
Back in the 1800s, fur trappers and mountain men exploring the area referred to any valley completely surrounded by mountains a "hole." That hole was then named after the person who discovered it - Davey Jackson in this case.
