HOW TO TARGHEE IN TWO TERRIFIC DAYS

Here’s how families and adrenaline junkies alike can experience all that Grand Targhee has to offer. Get settled in one of several lodges at the base of the Ghee and prepare to unplug. The quaint mountain village is the perfect place to get away from it all.

WHAT TO DO...

Bike Park It’s a mountain biker and adventure-lovers paradise. The mountain serves up over 70 miles of biking, including 18+ miles of lift-served downhill trails and 50+ miles of flowing cross-country trails. Even if you are not a savant on two wheels, there are trails built for riders of all levels. You can rent bikes and all the gear at Teton Mountain Outfitters.

Hiking Anyone? Whether you are looking for a quiet stroll through the aspens or trying to reach serious summits, we’ve got it all with over 50 miles of hiking trails. If you are interested in getting the inside scoop, our on-mountain naturalist offers guided hikes based out of our nature center. Even if you only want to learn about the area’s plants and animals, it’s worth a stop.

A Scenic Chair Lift Ride Start the morning by jumping on the Dreamcatcher chair for a ride to the top of Fred’s Mountain. Words and pictures simply do not do the views justice.

Located on the snowier side of the Tetons, Grand Targhee Resort combines a laid-back vibe with over 500 inches of powder each year. Next season, the new Colter Lift on Peaked Mountain will open over 600 pristine acres of skiable terrain giving skiers and riders access to more fall lines, open glades, world-class side-country, and extraordinary views.

So Much More If you’ve got young ones in tow, Targhee’s got you covered with the Kid’s Adventure Zone which includes a climbing wall, bungee trampoline, and a mining company. Really want to deep dive into that western culture? Enjoy Targhee via horseback with guided rides from a local cowboy. There’s so much to do that you’ll be planning another visit in no time.

Time to Chow You’ll work up an appetite. Munching at the Trap Bar and Grill is a no-brainer when recreating at Targhee. Have a cold beer, a tasty burger, or Wydaho Nachos while enjoying the sunny deck. The Branding Iron Restaurant is also located in the main plaza and is home to some of the best food in the area. The menu features in-house specials, including fresh local ingredients and Wyoming-raised beef.
