Elk Antlers and More

We decided to take a day’s break from skiing today. The four of us headed into Jackson to walk around town. The town square is unique in that it has four large arches made from elk horns. Bill took this photo of Connie, Frank & I in front of one of them.

The arches aren’t the only creations made from elk horns. Here you can see a couple of Christmas wreaths in a store window.

Inside the Jackson Mercantile, we saw just how large a grizzly is! Bill discovered that his fingers look small next to the bear’s claws.

               

The town is filled with outdoorsy character. On one of the side streets, we found an interesting use for old skis.

The insides of the buildings held their own appeal. The Million Dollar Saloon features the Wild West theme, complete with saddles for bar stools. Not very comfortable, but worth a photo! 

                

One of the town square attractions that Bill remembers from his first visit to Jackson Hole, in 1970, is apparently still offered:

Tomorrow, it’s back to the slopes. We’re heading over the mountain into Idaho, to try out Grand Targhee. Think snow!
