Overview
The town of Alpine WY rests against the mountainsides at the convergence of three rivers, the Grey’s, the Salt, and the Snake River. All three of these rivers merge and flow into the Palisades Reservoir.

Because of its close proximity to Jackson Hole, many who work in Jackson make their home in Alpine. Alpine also provides visitors with a small town atmosphere and an abundance of activities for every season.

Location
Alpine is located at the southern end of the Snake River Canyon where the Snake River enters Palisades Reservoir.

Because the town is located at the junction of US Route 89 and US Route 26, one going north and one going south, it is sometimes referred to as Alpine Junction.

Services/Amenities
Although a small town regarding year round residents, Alpine has several lodging facilities, good places to eat, gas stations, and grocery stores.

Due to the increasing popularity of the area, you will also find several real estate offices in town.

Alpine also has a library, a post office and a new recreation center.
