People come to the Driggs Valley for Recreation. Grand Targhee Ski Resort is regularly rated #2 in North America for snow by Ski Magazine. Fishing, camping, hiking, sailplanes, mountain climbing, etc. are some other popular activities in the valley.
Homes are "inexpensive" here compared to Jackson Hole on "the other side of the mountain" (average new house in Driggs is over $450,000). A lot of people who work in Jackson Hole live in the Driggs Valley and commute to work daily.
Many movie stars and famous people live in Jackson. If you stop in Victor at the "Emporium", known for world famous milk shakes, you just might see past Vice President Cheny or other celebrities. If you don't see them in person, you at least will see their pictures on the wall.
