Wilson Wyoming
Known for its quaint community, interesting nightlife and delicious breakfasts, the small hamlet of Wilson, Wyoming, which is situated at the eastern foot of 8,431-foot Teton Pass, is a fun place to travel through on your way to neighboring Jackson. Approximately seven miles west of downtown Jackson, Wilson has a great history - something that is still being preserved today - and is named after one of Wyomings most fascinating characters.
Born in 1842, Nick Uncle Nick Wilson grew up in Utah where he made friends with a fellow Indian sheepherder and learned to speak his language. Suddenly, Nick's tranquil life took a strange twist. The mother of Chief Washakie, from Wyomings Wind River Reservation, lost her son and in a dream had a vision that he would be replaced by a white boy. Washakie quickly sent his men out in search of this white boy. In their search, the men came across Wilson and bribed him to join the tribe. Without hesitation Wilson joined, and for the next two years he lived as a Shoshone Indian hunting and fishing before he was returned home.
At the ripe age of 18, Wilson became one of the first Pony Express riders, a position that nearly cost him his life when he was struck in the head by an arrow during a Paiute Indian attack. Wilson remained in a coma for almost two weeks. From then on, Wilson was always seen wearing a hat to cover the scar. A number of years later in 1889, Wilson guided a party of five Mormon families over steep Teton Pass and into the fertile lands of Jackson Hole. The town that sprouted up around him became Wilson.
Today, the town of Wilson, nestled along serene Fish Creek, is a great meeting place for adventures on Teton Pass. In the winter, Teton Pass is used by many as a backcountry skiing and snowboarding playground. With acres of snow covered terrain, Teton Pass offers everything from easy to expert skiing. The south side of the pass is home to many exciting runs which terminate at Old Pass Road near the Trail Creek Ranch. The northern side is dominated by 10,086-foot Mount Glory which harbors a southeast facing bowl that is popular with many skiers and snowboarders. The skiing off Teton Pass is located in avalanche terrain and requires the correct avalanche education and equipment to have a safe enjoyable time. Many mountain guiding services in the area offer avalanche courses throughout the winter. Mountain shops in the area also sell the latest avalanche safety gear. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are also popular activities on Teton Pass.
In the summer, Teton Pass offers everything from downhill mountain biking to casual day hikes surrounded by an abundance of colorful wildflowers. Mount Glory is the southern start of the popular Teton Crest Trail which continues all the way into Grand Teton National Park. This trail is a great opportunity for serious backpackers to see the awesome surrounding landscape and spend a night out in the wilderness. For more information, check with the Park Service information center located in Jackson.
