Hello! My name is Jackson Klingelhofer, and one of my favorite places on earth is Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My dad was a park ranger there in the 80s, and he fell in love with it. He ended up naming me after it, and it is now one of my favorite places too.

My first overnight hiking trip! We hiked 5 miles up to Surprise Lake!
Jackson is home to the beautiful Teton range, which is beautiful year-round. I have visited in the winter and summer, going skiing, hot springing, hiking, white water rafting, and more.

In the winter time the park gets even more beautiful with the snow.

In the Winter you can see how much the land changes.
The town is a fun cowboy town, with interesting cultural elements, such as a flash duel once a day and beautiful western buildings. Everything about Jackson is amazing, the culture, the wildlife, the scenery. I hope to move there one day to experience Jackson Hole every day.

White Water rafting in the snake river is one of my favorite parts about our trips!
