Great views of the valley, Bridger Gondola and wildflowers can be soaked in to the fullest, as the trails boast benches at several scenic points. There is even a picnic table that offers shade and one of the best views around. You can choose hikes lasting anywhere from 20 minutes to more than three hours round trip.
Kids Activities The Kids Ranch is the ideal place for children to grow, explore and learn about Jackson Hole, with great daycamp and bike-clinic programs—Grand
