The vast majority of the 240 businesses surveyed by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce said housing difficulties are underpinning their struggle to find workers.
At the R Lazy S Ranch, the dude ranch sitting just below the quieter, southern entrance to Grand Teton National Park, people pay an all-inclusive weekly rate for food, lodging, horseback riding and on-ranch fishing: about $2,000 per person, on the lower end.
But this year getting around the valley could eclipse that cost if guests choose to rent a car.
âItâs ending up that it is cheaper to stay at our ranch for two, all inclusive, than to rent a car,â Kelly Stirn, owner of the R Lazy S, told the Jackson Hole News&Guide.
That, of course, depends on when people visit Jackson Hole and what sort of car they rent.
