How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The walled town in the Wyoming mountains where Ellie and Joel live at the start of the game, seen glowing in the valley on a winter night.
The real place
Jackson is a real mountain town at the south end of the Jackson Hole valley, below the Teton Range. Its town square is known for the four arches made of shed elk antlers, collected each spring on the nearby National Elk Refuge. The game's Jackson is a fortified survivor community built into the old town.
Visiting
Grand Teton National Park starts a few minutes north of town. In winter, Teton Village, which also appears in the game, is the base for skiing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
