Mountain Trails Gallery

Mountain Trails Gallery is a 6,000-square-foot Western art gallery on Jackson Town Square at 155 Center Street, with original paintings and bronze sculptures from established Western, wildlife, and landscape artists. Operating in the Jackson art scene for over 30 years. The right fit is an art collector or art-curious traveler interested in Western and wildlife work, or anyone wanting a substantial gallery experience on the Square. The wrong fit is anyone wanting contemporary or post-modern art with no Western tradition; for that, look at Maya Frodeman Gallery.

What's on the walls (and pedestals)

Original paintings (oils, watercolors, mixed media) and bronze sculptures across Western, wildlife, and landscape categories. Pieces range from accessible smaller works for newer collectors to larger marquee pieces. The 6,000 square feet of space lets the gallery actually display dimensional sculpture properly rather than crowding pieces, which makes a difference for buyers evaluating sculpture work.

How it sits in the Square gallery scene

Several gallery options on or near the Square: Astoria Fine Art (sculpture-strong, half-block off the Square), RARE Gallery (curated narrative shows mixing contemporary and Western), Altamira Fine Art (contemporary Western, sharper modernist edge). Mountain Trails sits in the more traditional Western lane, with depth in painting and sculpture. For visitors doing a gallery loop, this is one of the major stops.

How to use the gallery as a visitor

Free to walk in. Daily 10 AM to 6 PM. Take time. Ask questions: the staff genuinely knows the artists and the work, and questions about technique, provenance, or context are welcomed. The Fall Arts Festival in September is the best window for special openings, artist receptions, and concentrated programming; if you can time your trip, do it. Off-Festival, the gallery is calm and you can spend more time per piece.

Two honest tradeoffs. First, this is real-market pricing. Smaller works start in the low thousands; major pieces run substantially higher. If you're shopping at gift-shop pricing, the math will not line up. Second, the gallery is in the more traditional Western art tradition; if your taste runs heavily contemporary or experimental, you'll find better fits elsewhere on the Square.

Heads up

For sculpture buyers, request a private viewing if you're considering a serious piece. Galleries this size accommodate that for collectors and the experience is meaningfully different from browsing during open hours. The staff can also put you on lists for new arrivals from specific artists if you have collecting interests.

Final take

For traditional Western and wildlife art on the Town Square in real volume, Mountain Trails Gallery is one of the major stops in Jackson Hole's gallery district. Pair with the other Square-area galleries on the same afternoon for a strong art-focused day.
