What to pack

What May feels like

The Boy Scouts run their elk antler auction on the town square in May, which is as Jackson as anything gets. Park roads reopen in stages, the bears are out with cubs, and the nights are still routinely below freezing — this is not a shorts-and-sandals month.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 16 nights dip below freezing.
