Hoback Junction

John Hoback was a trapper and guide familiar with the Teton region. He led Wilson Price Hunt’s party, a segment of the Astorian expedition, through the area in 1811. Hoback Junction is where the Hoback River meets the Snake River, and U.S. Highway 189/191 meets U.S. Highway 26/89. For the most part, the somewhat newly sprung community is an outgrowth of Jackson’s popularity.
