This year, the famous go-to travel resource, TripAdvisor, has launched the TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Destination Awards, releasing a list of the country's top 25 destinations. The winners were chosen by the travelers themselves and were measured by a combination of TripAdvisor's travelers' favorite places and overall popularity on TripAdvisor.com. Jackson Hole came in at number 11, being touted as, "a great town to unwind in after a day in the mountains." Jackson was noted for having the longest and steepest vertical slope in the United States, which attracts hordes of serious skiers and snowboarders each year.

The guide also includes Jackson area highlights such as Teton Village ("a lively community of shops, restaurants, hotels and condominiums"), Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park ("offer natural splendor and outdoor adventure all year long"). With the variety of activity in Jackson, TripAdvisor notes that "where to start is the hard part."

Jackson came in behind number one Lake Tahoe and some other California locations, but ahead of popular destinations like Honolulu and Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
