with yellowstone national park to the north, grand teton national park to the west, the town of jackson to the south, and the nearly 10,000-foot summit of togwotee pass to the east, the hatchet resort’s truly a one of a kind location. sitting at roughly 7,000 feet above sea-level in northern jackson hole, the site is surrounded by mountain ranges rising in almost all directions.

virtually all of the high country nearby is protected either as national park or national forest. the bridger-teton national forest, the largest national forest outside alaska, which abuts the hatchet on several sides, contains 3.4 million acres regionally.

the valley where the hatchet sits is criss-crossed by the buffalo fork of the snake river and affords stunning views of the teton range to the west. what little private land exists in the area is located in the valley bottom. several longtime residents continue to run small cattle-ranching operations here. there is virtually no development in the surrounding area, ensuring guests an idyllic western setting. a number of the ranches, including the hatchet property are preserved through conservation easements. you are located mid way between the town of jackson and the south entrance to yellowstone national park. the gate to grand teton national park is only 8 miles west.
