September marks the arrival of Labor Day, and this year, if you’re looking for a brand-new way to celebrate, consider packing up and heading to scenic Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A holiday weekend away here is a refreshing experience, no matter what your travel interests might entail. From the family-friendly festivities and natural beauty to admire, to the many opportunities to indulge in adventures of all kinds, your Labor Day in Jackson Hole promises to be one-of-a-kind!
Great Weather Expectations Ahead
Labor Day is often looked to as the holiday that heralds in autumn and is a final goodbye to summertime. When you make your way to Jackson Hole to celebrate this year, you’ll be delighted to find that the transition of seasons comes with some great weather to enjoy. Typically, early September in Jackson Hole is defined by daily highs in the 70s with evening temperatures dipping down into the 40s. There’s a definite shift toward fall vibes in the air, but the weather is certainly still warm enough to add summer-inspired activities to your holiday weekend itinerary.
Attend an Exciting Wild West Event in Town
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a destination that’s long been loved by visitors for its ability to maintain the authentic Wild West in the heart of a modern world. A great way to celebrate that over Labor Day weekend is to attend the Jackson Hole Town Square Shootout experience. This one-of-a-kind gathering is typically hosted May 31st through Labor Day each year in Town Square. The show starts at 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday at the northeast corner of Town Square along Deloney Avenue and Center Street. There’s no cost to attend, just bring your sense of adventure as you enjoy a Wild West shootout re-enactment with characters dressed up in period attire. The show lasts about 20 minutes and is an experience that’s been entertaining guests of all ages since 1957.
Get Out on the Water with Family and Friends
Labor Day weekend in Jackson Hole is the right time to take advantage of end-of-season warm weather and enjoy an afternoon on the water in good company. We recommend heading out to the Snake River with a fishing pole in hand if angling is your hobby of choice. That said, the Snake River is also the ideal destination for a guided fishing outing alongside a local pro if you want to hone the skills you have, or you’re looking to learn to fish like an expert.
Hit the Trails in Holiday Weekend Style
If you find yourself longing to explore the great outdoors further during your Labor Day weekend in Jackson Hole, hitting the trails is always the place to start. While independent journeys here are a treat, you might find the experience even more insightful when you book a guided hike through the team at The Hole Hiking Experience. They’re open daily from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm, and alongside your guide, you’ll be able to access routes you might otherwise overlook. This is also a terrific time of year to incorporate some top-notch wildlife watching into the mix as bears and moose are out and about in the Jackson Hole backcountry.
Explore the Best of Town Square Shops
For all the outdoor adventure Jackson Hole offers over Labor Day, this is also a holiday that comes with some great sales for those on the hunt for a little retail therapy. Head to Town Square to find a wide variety of charming local shops to explore, and great discounts on some popular items over Labor Day weekend.
