Victor sits at the southern end of Teton Valley, right where the road begins its climb over Teton Pass into Wyoming. For years it was the quieter, less commercial alternative to Driggs — a place where ranchers and ski bums coexisted without much fuss.
That is changing. As Jackson Hole prices have pushed more people over the pass looking for affordable housing, Victor has grown steadily. New restaurants and shops have appeared along Main Street, and the town has developed a personality of its own rather than just being a place to sleep before skiing. The Grand Teton views from the valley floor are stunning, and the backcountry access on the western slope remains far less crowded than anything on the Jackson side.
