The sleepy agricultural enclave of Bondurant, along with the Upper Hoback Valley and the rest of Sublette County in west-central Wyoming, is situated close enough to Jackson Hole to feel the heat shimmering off its blistering real estate market.

By intention, the loose-knit community has shunned the brand of boujee that has Jackson Hole overrun with tourists the Travel & Tourism Board Joint Powers Board in Teton County has altered its message in an attempt to attract fewer bodies and larger billfolds.
