Climate Spring, from late April to June, is marked by mild days and cold nights, with some rain and occasional snow. It's in spring that new-born elk, moose, bison and bear show their faces. Summers are blessed with warm days and cool nights and a profusion of brightly colored wildflowers. In autumn, the aspen and cottonwood run gold and red. The days are sunny, with cold nights.
Rain eventually gives way to snow.
Winter brings with it enough deep snow to keep a skier happy into April. It also brings the elk to the valley. They come down from the mountains by the thousands to the National Elk Refuge, which lies at the very edge of town. Jackson Hole Airport, located inside the southern boundary of Grand Teton National Park, is a 10-minute drive from the valley town of Jackson and less than 20 minutes from Amangani. Major and commuter airlines provide service via Salt Lake City, Chicago, Dallas and Denver.
