Description
The antler arches that decorate the four corners of Jackson Hole�s town square have come to symbolize the town.
The first arch was built in 1953, followed by the remaining three over ten years later. Since their construction, the arches have been a beloved monument of Jackson to tourist and locals alike. The arches, comprised of elk antlers, are a beautiful representation of the old west, wildlife, and natural beauty.
The arches are an artistic wonder, as each arch is made of around 2,000 antlers, which weigh in at 10,000 to 12,000 pounds. Many visitors wrongly assume that the antlers are a product of hunting. No elk were harmed in the making of the arches. Elk naturally shed their antlers each year and they are collected from the ground. The antlers are then weaved around a steel frame one at a time.
Between natural corrosion and human impact it�s estimated that the arches will need to be rebuilt every thirty years to maintain their integrity.
