2023 Jackson Hole Traveler, published by Circ Design, Inc. When you’re in Jackson Hole, Darwinism is in full effect. The large animals can—and will—run over you. Don’t try to sit on their backs or ride them. Don’t run, skip or ski up to the edge of anything you cannot see over. Weather is extreme, so no standing on an outcropping during a summer lightning storm or licking a chairlift at 20 below. If you steal an antler from the Town Square arches, you’ll incur bad luck for 20 years. Should you need more advice, see jht.guide/what-not-to-do

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

elcome to Jackson Hole, where the untamed spirit of the West lives on, jagged mountain spires reach to the sky above an unparalleled landscape, and the crystal waters of the mighty Snake River run through it all. This is the scenery that spurred our nation to establish the world’s first national park, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872, and its equally spectacular neighbor to the south, Grand Teton National Park, in 1929. These parks are part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems left on earth. Even knowing about Grand Teton and Yellowstone, most visitors are surprised to learn how much there is to see and do in this magnificent Jackson Hole valley. The variety of activities and events is so extensive you’ll probably wish you had more time to spend here.

Information is divided into DO, SHOP, EAT and STAY.

Jackson Hole History

THE LAND OF THE RUGGED ADVENTURERS AND STOIC SETTLERS

he name Jackson Hole refers to an entire valley in the northwest corner of Wyoming, surrounded by mountains. Originally named after an 1820s fur trapper, Davey Jackson, it’s 48 miles long and between 8 and 15 miles wide. The northern end of the valley serves as the southern gateway to Yellowstone National Park and is about 6,779 feet above sea level. The town of Jackson (whose name is often confused with the valley, Jackson Hole) sits at the southern end of the valley, at an elevation of about 6,069 feet.

Although Native Americans passed through this valley thousands of years ago, the long, harsh winters discouraged any permanent settlement until the late 1800s. After the town of Jackson was established in 1894, homesteaders began to trickle in, lured by the prospect of open land for the taking. They faced a hard existence and eked out a living through a combination of cattle ranching, farming and big-game hunting. Descendants of some of those early settlers still ranch or reside within the valley today.

THE HISTORY OF JACKSON HOLE

In 1920, Jackson residents elected an all-female town council, continuing the pioneer spirit of Wyoming that earned it the nickname of Equality State when it became the first state in the country to grant women the right to vote in 1869.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks have always drawn sightseers to this region, but Jackson Hole’s tourist trade truly took root in the 1920s, when dude ranches like the still-operating Triangle X Ranch began inviting visitors to stay. A “dude,” in Western parlance, is a guest who pays to experience cowboy ranch life.

Perhaps nothing shaped the identity of Jackson Hole from a cowboy town to a ski town as much as the creation of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in 1965. Indeed, the acclaimed ski resort was built at the site of a dude ranch called Crystal Springs Ranch. Nearly overnight, the resort helped propel the valley from a one-season economy to a year-round one, drawing visitors from every corner of the world.

PRE-1800s

Native Americans came to the area for hunting.

1829 Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger and “Davey” Jackson name the area “Jackson’s Hole.”

1907 Louis Joy and Struthers Burt established the area’s first dude ranch— The JY Ranch

1912 The National Elk Refuge is established.

1920 Jackson elects the US’s first all-female town officials

1807 John Colter leaves Lewis and Clark to discover Jackson Hole and Yellowstone.

A MYRIAD OF ADVENTURES IN STORE FOR YOU

“I came for the winter, but stayed for the summer” is a popular saying by locals who have long understood the lure and beauty of Jackson Hole during the all-tooshort summer months. It’s a postcard come to life, framed by the magnificent Teton Range. Thanks to the efforts of generations of conservationists, 97% of this beautiful landscape is public land and protected from development. For outdoor enthusiasts, Jackson Hole has a role as both a sanctuary and a playground, no matter what the season. There are hundreds of trails to tackle, many mountains to climb and ski down, abundant wildlife to spot, rivers and lakes to float and fish on, and so much more.

SO, WELCOME—AND LET THE MEMORIES BEGIN!

Filmed in Jackson Hole

Twenty feature films have been made on location in Jackson Hole. John Wayne’s first speaking part was in The Big Trail, filmed here in 1929. Other movies shot in the valley include: Shane, Spencer’s Mountain, Any Which Way You Can, Rocky IV and Django Unchained. In 2011, an episode of “Modern Family” was also filmed here.

JACKSON HOLE TODAY

ith a population that has now expanded to about 23,000 residents, Jackson Hole is not the isolated valley it once was. Even so, locals are easily outnumbered by some 4 million visitors each year. In addition to being the home of Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, two major ski areas (and a third just “over the hill”), the National Elk Refuge and Bridger-Teton National Forest, we also have a thriving cultural scene. From world-class art to live theatrical, musical and dance performances—featuring national and international actors, musicians and dance companies—Jackson Hole is far from a sleepy valley.

TRAVELER TIDBIT

The Teton Range is not called the Grand Tetons, plural. There is only one Grand Teton peak. The mountain range as a whole can be referred to simply as “the Tetons” or the Teton Range.

1965 Jackson Hole Ski Area in Teton Village opens.

1971 Bill Briggs makes the first ski descent of the Grand Teton.

1957 The Jackson Hole Shootout starts, and is the longest running “gunfight” in the US.

2019 Jackson Hole Mountain Resort named #1 on Forbes’ Top 10 Ski Resorts in North America.

1929 Grand Teton National Park is dedicated.

1939 Neil Rafferty erects a rope tow on Snow King Mountain, making it the first ski area in Wyoming.

QUINTESSENTIAL JACKSON HOLE MOMENTS

TRAVELER TIDBIT

The Bridger-Teton National Forest is the third-largest national forest in the lower 48 states, encompassing 3.4 million acres. That’s roughly the size of Connecticut!

SKI AT 3 MAJOR SKI RESORTS

Jackson Hole boasts two major ski areas and a third “over the hill”—Grand Targhee. For 10 years running, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort was named the No. 1 ski resort in the country by Forbes magazine. Snow King Mountain (the locals’ hill) literally looms over the town of Jackson and holds the title of the first ski area in Wyoming.

FIND YOUR WESTERN SPIRIT

EXPERIENCE GRAND TETON

In addition to the magnificent Teton Range framing the west side of Grand Teton National Park, there are myriad things to love about this 485-square-mile wilderness and recreation area. In fact, its wide range of recreational activities is among the most accessible of any national park. Exploration opportunities abound—and the amazing views just won’t quit.

GET ACTIVE

Jackson Hole Rodeo is a favorite way to experience a Western tradition. Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening throughout the summer, see authentic cowboys ride bucking broncos and mighty bulls, barrel race and rope calves, among other competitions.

Endless recreational opportunities include hiking, biking, climbing, swimming, paddling, boating, rafting, horseback riding, paragliding, golfing, fishing, ziplining, downhill, Nordic and heli-skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, snow tubing, ice skating and shooting experiences.

WATCH WILDLIFE

With nearly 500 animal species inhabiting the Greater Yellowstone region, some have called our area the “American Serengeti.” Wild things are literally all around you! Spotting a bison, moose, bear, bald eagle, coyote and/or elk is a definite possibility during your visit.

VENTURE DOWN THE SNAKE

Taking a guided, exhilarating whitewater rafting trip or scenic float down the Snake River is truly a Jackson Hole must-do item during your visit. Professional and knowledgeable outfitters abound here to steer you down the magnificent Snake.

LARGEST ELK HERD

You won’t need binoculars to view the thousands of elk wintering on the National Elk Refuge, 25,000 acres of protected land. Each year, wapiti gather to feed, scramble for dominance with antler clashes and raise young. A unique way to experience the refuge is by horse-drawn sleigh.

VISIT YELLOWSTONE

Yellowstone is the world’s first national park and has approximately 10,000 active thermal features, including Old Faithful. The 3,500-square-mile wilderness area is mostly in Wyoming but also spreads into Montana and Idaho. Open year-round, but roads are closed in winter; only snowmobiles and snowcoaches are allowed.

VISIT AN ICONIC WATERING HOLE

Straddle a saddle at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar; see the more than 4,000 1921 uncirculated Morgan silver dollars embedded in the bar of the aptly named Silver Dollar Bar in the Wort Hotel; or attend “Sunday Church” at the Stagecoach Bar in Wilson to dance the night away!

HIT TOWN SQUARE

Bathed by the neon honky-tonk sign of the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar and bordered by four quirky elk-antler arches, the Town Square forms Jackson Hole’s retail and artistic core. It is also the site of the Jackson Hole Shootout, the longest-running gunfight in the country. Don’t forget to take a photo under the antler arches.

HIGH-ALTITUDE HEALTH TIPS

HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR HIGH-ALTITUDE CONDITIONS?

Most people will adapt relatively well to the altitude on the valley floor in Jackson Hole, which is around 6,300 feet above sea level. The people who tend to have the biggest trouble often have preexisting medical problems, especially obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure, heart failure, heart disease, pulmonary hypertension or chronic lung conditions. Even healthy visitors can occasionally have issues with the altitude during activity.

I see several patients every week who were given the “all clear” by their providers back home and then experienced worsening of their usually well-controlled medical problems when they came to Jackson Hole. If you have a significant preexisting medical condition, seek advice from a qualified medical provider who is experienced in altitude medicine. There are medications that can be prescribed in advance to help reduce your risk of getting sick.

WHAT DOES ALTITUDE SICKNESS FEEL LIKE?

The most common form of altitude sickness here is called acute mountain sickness. The symptoms are: headache, nausea, fatigue and sometimes shortness of breath. Generally, those symptoms worsen at higher elevations or during exertion.

If you feel that you might be suffering from acute mountain sickness, descend to the valley floor, stay hydrated, get some rest, and most of the symptoms will pass.

If you are having trouble adapting to the elevation of Jackson Hole, you shouldn’t go to Yellowstone until symptoms resolve—most of the Yellowstone plateau is significantly higher than Jackson Hole.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF FROM ALTITUDE SICKNESS?

1. Stay well hydrated. Due to our dry climate here, it’s very easy to get dehydrated.

2. Limit your alcohol intake.

3. Get plenty of rest and transition gradually from the valley floor to higher elevations.

Jackson Hole PLANNING ESSENTIALS

FALL SUMMER

JUNE THROUGH AUGUST; 40 TO 85-PLUSº F DAYS

Rivers run full. Mountain trails open. Lake temperatures rise. Music festivals and dozens of special events swing back into gear. Hiking, biking, camping, rafting ... the list of summer’s pleasures in Jackson Hole goes on and on.

SEPTEMBER THROUGH EARLY NOVEMBER; 20 TO 75º F

For those who might see the bustling summer as a bit too much to handle, fall is essentially a quieter version. The menu of activities isn’t quite as full, but the calmer fall season has benefits of its own. Did we mention the aspens turn an incredible fiery hue?

WINTER

MID-NOVEMBER THROUGH MID-MARCH; TEMPERATURES OF 30º F AND BELOW

Skier or not, everyone agrees that winter is when our valley, blanketed in snow, lives up to its image. It’s the time for sleigh rides in the National Elk Refuge, snowshoeing in Grand Teton National Park, snowmobile treks and skiing deep powder.

SPRING

APRIL THROUGH MAY; 25 TO 65º F

Because spring is so unpredictable and uncrowded, it can be a great time to visit, particularly for wildlife lovers. Certainly the most underrated season here, spring offers plenty to do if you’re willing to go with the flow of what the weather presents.

WHAT TO PACK

PRACTICAL TIPS

Discover locals’ tips to best enjoy your visit to the area. jht.guide/tips

BE ADVENTUROUS

The main attractions in Jackson Hole are our natural setting, wildlife and recreational opportunities. Connect with a local wildlife, rafting, hiking or photography guide service to jump-start your trip.

BE PREPARED

Any outing needs to always include water, extra warm layers and additional food. Bring a small pack and always have it with you when you are outdoors.

BE CAREFUL

Be respectful of our wild animals, as the growing human population of our valley has reduced their habitat. Drive very cautiously during the day and evening. For whatever reason, some visitors think they can walk up to a bison, moose or bear. This stresses the animal and can be dangerous.

GETTING AROUND

START Bus provides a FREE town shuttle that runs every half-hour and can get you to restaurants, supermarkets and shops in town. Buses also run between Jackson and Teton Village. Go to startbus.com or get the RouteShout app.

Rental cars and taxis are available at the airport and in town. Uber and Lyft are also available.

Biking can be enjoyed on over 69 miles of the multiuse pathways. Bike rentals are available as well as START Bike; go to StartBikeJH.com. See “Go Biking” on pages 52-53, or jht.guide/bike

MOUNTAIN WEATHER

The allure of Jackson Hole is its extremes—extreme mountains, extreme sports … and extreme weather. You’ll want to follow the weather trends closely. The area can experience major fluctuations in temperature, precipitation and wind.

TRAVELER TIDBIT

2019 marked the 150th anniversary of Wyoming giving women the right to vote, the first state in the nation to do so. That earned Wyoming the nickname “The Equality State.”

Lodging Oasis on the

GRAND TETON National Park

AIN’T LIFE GRAND?

Go beyond the view with our crib sheet to all the park’s can’t-miss highlights. jht.guide/gtnp

Grand Teton National Park is 485 square miles rich in extraordinary wildlife, pristine lakes, hiking trails, a multi-use pathway system, the Snake River and, oh yes, serenity. And did we mention the majestic, awe-inspiring Teton Range that runs the length of the 93-yearold park? Getting close to those mountains alone is worth the price of admission.

The world-famous Tetons are “what mountains are supposed to look like,” Theodore Roosevelt once remarked of the spectacular range, which is actually a young one—a spry 10 million years old. It was formed when multiple earthquakes along the Teton fault line pushed the peaks upward, in what is known as a “fault block.” Huge glaciers then sculpted the range into the jaw-dropping, rugged rock spires you see today.

In addition to these magnificent mountains, the park is dotted with the historic dwellings of the valley’s earliest homesteaders and is still inhabited today by many of the West’s iconic wildlife.

Grand Teton is equal parts “see” and “do”— maybe even more “do”! Truly a hiker’s park, its mountain trails are among the most accessible of any national park. In addition to hikers, it also attracts world-class climbers and extreme skiers.

“TO DO” OPTIONS

BIKE THE PARK

There are 16 miles of paved, multi-use pathways available for biking throughout Grand Teton National Park—the most paved trail system of any national park! Rent a bike and experience its grandeur on two wheels. jht.guide/bike

QUICK FACTS

Established: February 29, 1929

Size: 485 square miles

Height of Grand Teton: 13,775 ft; secondhighest peak in Wyoming

Outdoor Terrain: 242 miles of hiking trails

Depth of Jackson Lake: 438 ft

BARKER-EWING

GRAND TETON PARK FLOATS “Ten of the most beautiful miles of river in the world,” and that’s why we run our float trips only inside Grand Teton National Park. For more than 60 years, Barker-Ewing has provided scenic and wildlife viewing opportunities that are unique to this portion of the Snake River.

barkerewing.com

800-365-1800/307-733-1800

HIKE THE PARK

There are 242 miles of hiking trails in Grand Teton National Park, ranging from easy strolls to more strenuous treks at steeper ascents. All have water features such as cascading streams from both valley and high-alpine lakes. Wildlife is generally viewable, including moose, deer, black bear and smaller mammals, as well as eagles and hawks. jht.guide/hike

GET ON THE WATER

Jenny Lake Boating runs small, passenger shuttles (for a fee) from the South Jenny Lake boat dock to the Hidden Falls/Inspiration Point dock every 15 to 20 minutes during the summer. A one-hour scenic and interpretive tour gets you up close to the mountains.

Paddleboarders, canoers and kayakers will find both String and Leigh lakes a breeze for leisurely paddling. Rent a boat or SUP. These are the best spots for beginners and children to enjoy water sports in Grand Teton.

A favorite recreation site for Jackson Hole locals, Jackson Lake is the largest lake in the park and welcomes all kinds of watercraft. Rent a kayak, canoe or runabout at Signal Mountain or Colter Bay. Take a lake cruise and enjoy a meal at Elk Island with Grand Teton Lodge Company.

The Snake River winds an ever-changing route through the valley. Take a guided scenic float down the river to soak in the beautiful scenery of the park.

GRAND TETON LODGE COMPANY

JACKSON LAKE CRUISES Take in sweeping Teton views while gliding across Jackson Lake for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Each lake cruise is narrated by a knowledgeable guide, and meal cruises dock at an exclusive dining spot on Elk Island. Narrated scenic lake cruises are also available without meals, with three departures daily.

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

See more about Grand Teton jht.guide/grandteton

The “Grand Teton Figure 8” — a one-day sightseeng itinerary through the park — starts in the Town of Jackson and ends at Teton Village.  It’s only a 65-mile trip, but it’s a full day! You will be able to choose your own experiences.

4: JACKSON LAKE JUNCTION

(3 miles from Signal Mountain) DECISION TIME: Did Jackson Lake Lodge sound good to you?  Keep driving toward Yellowstone (turn left at the junction), and keep an eye out on the left after the Christian Creek Bridge. Go to the Mural Room for fine dining, or to the Pioneer Grill — a 1950’s style diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s famous for its milkshakes.

If you would like to get out on the water, Colter Bay Village is another several miles north past Jackson Lake Junction toward Yellowstone and has cruises, as well as boat, kayak and paddleboard rentals. There are also restaurants and a grocery store.

2: JENNY LAKE

(8 miles from visitor center)

3: SIGNAL MOUNTAIN LODGE

(10 miles from Jenny Lake)

Time for a snack? The lodge overlooks Jackson Lake and while enjoying the relaxed outdoor dining you’ll soak up sweeping views of the Teton Range. The nachos are huge and the blackberry margarita is legendary. Another possibility: If you are looking for a more sophisticated venue for a meal, the Jackson Lake Lodge is an historic eco-hotel with 60-foot windows and dining options for every taste.

Give yourself at least a couple of hours for the Jenny Lake area. This is a great place to start any of the many activities available in GTNP. You can hike, walk, view wildlife, take photographs, backpack, camp, climb, fish, swim, boat, float, canoe, and bike. As one of the most visited areas, parking can be limited at the lake and you may need to park on the road and walk in. Visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday crowds.

1: CRAIG THOMAS DISCOVERY AND VISITOR CENTER

(13 miles from Jackson Town Square)

You will only need 30 minutes to gather all the useful information, maps and brochures you will want for exploring before entering the park’s Moose entrance. There are interpretive exhibits on local flora and fauna, a helpful team of park rangers and one of the most complete bookstores of any national park in the nation.

8: MOOSE-WILSON ROAD

(9 miles on the Moose-Wilson Road to Teton Village)

Creep along this road with your eyes peeled! There are often moose, bears and distracted visitors along the sides of the asphalt. Make sure to stop at the first parking area and look for moose down in the Sawmill Ponds. It will be an informal dirt parking area on the left. Stop by the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve and Visitor Center, an ecoconscious 1,106-acre preserve that includes 8 miles of trails and an interpretive visitor center.

Be sure to check out Traveler’s Grand Teton National Park One-Day Sightseeing Itinerary

5: OXBOW BEND

Head mere minutes south from Jackson Lake Junction to one of the most photographed locations in the park. You might see water-loving wildlife such as moose, river otters and white pelicans cross the shallow waters in front of you. From here, head to the Moose Junction Entrance Station and turn right at stop sign toward Jackson.

6: CUNNINGHAM CABIN

(6 miles from Moose Junction Entrance Station)

If you would like to see firsthand what it was really like to homestead Jackson Hole in 1888, stop and take the easy walk to the J.P. Cunningham Cabin and read the history. Watch out for bison!

7. ANTELOPE FLATS ROAD OR MOOSE JUNCTION

YELLOWSTONE National Park

QUICK FACTS

Established: March 1, 1872 * Yellowstone celebrated its sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary in 2022!

Size: 2.2 million acres

Number of Annual Visitors: 3 million-plus

Active Thermal Features: 10,000

AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARK

Venture out in the Serengeti of North America and check out all of the park’s highlights. jht.guide/yellowstone

The world’s first national park is also one of its most distinctive. From rocky flats dotted with plumes of mysterious steam to bubbling mud pots and geothermal pools in shades of startling aquamarine and goldenrod, there is no place on Earth quite like it. In fact, Yellowstone contains the largest concentration of geysers (60%!) in the world, with approximately 10,000 active thermal features, the most famous of which is Old Faithful geyser

Since its creation in 1872, Yellowstone National Park has become a model of conservation—one of the last large, intact ecosystems in the temperate zone. What this means for visitors? A step back in time to primordial wilderness; untouched, unaltered. It helps explain why Yellowstone has been called “America’s Serengeti” for the richness and diversity of its wildlife. Vast herds of elk and bison graze the plains while storied predators like the grizzly bear and wolf still forage and hunt the valleys. If you’re lucky, you’ll see all four species—but from a safe distance!

TO DO

• Visit historic locations such as the Old Faithful Lodge, Mammoth Hot Springs and Fort Yellowstone and the Northeast Ranger Station.

Distance from Jackson: 60 miles to the south entrance

• Stop by the Old Faithful, Fishing Bridge, West Thumb and Grant visitor centers.

• Visit Canyon Village to learn about the supervolcano at the visitor center.

• Choose from more than 900 miles of hiking trails.

• Get a new perspective of the park’s geothermal features in winter by taking a snowmobile or snowcoach tour.

• Take in the Yellowstone River.

• See wildlife in Lamar Valley.

HELPFUL INFORMATION

ENTRY FEE: A 7-day pass is $35 for a private, noncommercial vehicle and $30 per motorcycle. The fee for those on foot or bicycle is $20 per person. Annual passes cost $70.

CELLULAR SERVICE: Cell towers at Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, West Yellowstone, Grant Village, Lake Village, and Mount Washburn provide service to most developed areas.

Old Faithful erupts every 44 to 125 minutes. To plan accordingly, check with the visitor center upon arrival or jht. guide/oldfaithful for upcoming eruption times.

WHERE TO FUEL UP: Canyon Village, Fishing Bridge, Grant Village, Mammoth Hot Springs, Old Faithful, and Tower Junction. EV charging stations are available at Old Faithful, Canyon Village, Mammoth Hot Springs and the West Entrance to the park.

5: GIBBON FALLS

(14 miles from Firehole Lake Drive)

The Gibbon River tumbles over 84 feet. Be sure to take the short path along the river; it’s handicap accessible and great for people of all ages.4:

4: FIREHOLE LAKE DRIVE

(5 miles from Midway Geyser Basin)

Take this one-way drive past many geysers and springs. If you’re lucky you will witness the Great Fountain Geyser erupting—it shoots one of the tallest sprays in the park!

JACKSON HOLE WILDLIFE SAFARIS

PRO TIP: See the highlights of Yellowstone on a guided tour. Make the most of your time in the park with a professional naturalist guide. Full day tours offered daily in the summertime. Private or smallgroup options available. Book online or call.

JacksonHoleWildlifeSafaris.com | 307-690-6402

3: MIDWAY GEYSER BASIN

(8 miles from Old Faithful)

A brief stop at Midway Geyser Basin, known as Hell’s Half Acre, is 100% worth it. The basin’s hot water gushes from geothermal pools to meet the aptly named Firehole River, while tendrils of the massive Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the United States, extend out from its deep turquoise center.

2: OLD FAITHFUL

(17 miles from West Thumb)

Guaranteed to be a highlight of your day in Yellowstone, be sure to set aside a large chunk of time to explore the Old Faithful Inn, catch one of the famous geyser’s on-time eruptions and explore the wondrous Upper Geyser Basin. Inside the visitor center, you’ll find posted signs predicting the next Old Faithful eruption, so grab a seat and wait for the impressive sight of up to 8,400 gallons of scalding water reaching heights topping 184 feet. The monumental Old Faithful Inn, completed in 1904, is the largest log structure in the world. Its massive 65-foot ceiling, stone fireplace and gnarled railings made from local lodgepole pine ensure its stature as one of the most legendary buildings of the American frontier. The inn also features shops and restaurants.

YELLOWSTONE DAY TOURS

Be sure to check out Traveler’s Yellowstone National Park One-Day Lower Loop Sightseeing Itinerary.

wildlife abound within the park’s 3,500-square-mile boundary. Here is our recommended one-day lowerloop sightseeing itinerary; you can join in at any point. To avoid the crowds we recommend you get an early start—plan to set aside 10 to 12 hours of travel and sightseeing time.

6: NORRIS GEYSER BASIN

(9 miles from Gibbon Falls)

Norris is one of the hottest and most acidic of Yellowstone’s thermal areas. There are quite a number of colorful thermals to check out via various boardwalks and trails.

7: GRAND CANYON OF YELLOWSTONE

(13 miles from Norris)

Many Yellowstone visitors make the mistake of turning around after exploring Old Faithful and the geyser basins. Don’t be one of them! The awe-inspiring Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and its dramatic Upper and Lower Falls are well worth the extra driving time. Carved into soft rhyolite stone by the Yellowstone River, the canyon is where visitors can truly see how Yellowstone garnered its name, with a rainbow of colors (including yellow!) in the exposed rock descending to the canyon floor. The tumbling waters of Lower Falls spiral from a height twice that of Niagara Falls. This vista can be enjoyed from Lookout Point, Red Rock Point and Artist Point.

1: WEST THUMB GEYSER BASIN

(22 miles from the South Entrance)

This will be your introduction to a variety of geothermal features: bubbling springs of finely milled mud, multi-colored pools and steaming lakeside cones. Located right on the shore of vast Yellowstone Lake, this stop includes the Thumb Paint Pots, the deep, blue Abyss Pool and Fishing Cone, where early visitors joked one could catch a fish in the lake and then dunk it directly in boiling water to make dinner.

Be sure to visit Canyon Village and check out the visitor education center, which includes interactive exhibits, animations and real-time scientific data.

MOOSE BLACK BEARS

Black bears have tall, pointed ears, no distinctive shoulder hump, and weigh 200-plus pounds. Cubs, born mid-winter, weigh less than a pound. Black bears are great tree climbers. Bears don’t hibernate. They go into a deep sleep, called torpor, but their body temperature doesn’t drop as low as that of true hibernation. The best places to view black bears are Signal Mountain and Jenny Lake in summer.

PRONGHORN

The moose is the largest antlered animal in the world. Bulls weigh up to 1,200 pounds. Most moose are solitary, but you may see them in small groups. Moose can eat up to 70 pounds of vegetation a day. Their main defense mechanisms are their hooves. The best places to view moose in summer are the Willow Flats and along river corridors and sagebrush flats in winter.

Jackson Hole

RESIDENTS

Males weigh up to 140 pounds. Pronghorn are herbivores and prefer shrubs and forbs (wildflowers) to grasses. It’s thought that pronghorn evolved their quick speed when pursued by a now extinct North American cheetah. They have been recorded sprinting up to 60 mph, which is faster than any other mammal in the Western Hemisphere. The best places to view pronghorn are Elk Ranch Flats and Antelope Flats.

WOLVES

Male wolves are slightly heavier than females, weighing up to 130 pounds. Usually seen in packs of about 10, wolves are capable predators. Wolf reintroduction efforts in the ’90s released 66 wild wolves into the Greater Yellowstone area—now home to about 1,600 wolves. The best place to view wolves is the Willow Flats area, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone.

ELK

Large bulls weigh up to 750 pounds. Predominantly grazers, elk eat grass most of the year. During the fall rut, dominant males collect harems of about 30 females, breeding with them and driving away other adult males by bugling (a loud vocalization) to show their strength. The best places to view elk are during mornings and evenings near Jenny Lake in summer and the National Elk Refuge in winter.

BISON

The bison is the largest North American land mammal and weighs up to 2,000 pounds. These herbivores look docile, but they are not! Bison can jump a 6-foot fence and gallop up to 35 mph. Although the term “buffalo” is often used—inaccurately—to describe bison, these animals are not related to the “true” buffalo. The best places to view bison are Yellowstone, Kelly/Antelope Flats loop and Elk Ranch Flats.

Maximize your time in Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks! Explore the wildlife hot spots on and off the beaten path while sharing the day with a fun and knowledgeable naturalist guide. We will make the most of your time in the region!

BIGHORN SHEEP

Male bighorn sheep are larger than females, weighing on average 250 pounds. Sheep are herbivores, browsing shrubs and grasses. Bighorn sheep’s hooves are able to cup around rocks for traction on sheer rocky faces. Males establish a dominance hierarchy in by clashing their horns. The best places to view bighorn sheep are Miller Butte, the National Elk Refuge and at high elevations in the Teton and Gros Ventre ranges.

GRIZZLY BEARS

Grizzlies have a distinctive shoulder hump, and their ears are short and rounded. In the Greater Yellowstone area, males can weigh up to 600 pounds. Grizzly bears are omnivores, which means they’ll eat anything from berries, grasses and insects to fish and newborn animals. Sows (females) give birth to one to four cubs mid-winter while in their dens. The best places to view grizzly bears are Willow Flats and Oxbow Bend.

Dornans is a family-owned and operated resort located in the heart of Jackson Hole on the bank of the Snake River inside the boundaries of Grand Teton National Park, just 40 miles south of Yellowstone National Park.

THINGS TO DO YEAR-ROUND

TRAVELER TRIP

See Wildlife

The wild things are all around you here, but you need to know what to look for and where to look. It’s all about being in the right place at the right time. Sunrise and sunset are prime viewing times. Here are a few other tips for spotting wildlife in Jackson Hole:

MOOSE-WILSON ROAD

Skirting the mountains between the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center and the Granite Canyon entrance to Grand Teton National Park, look for beaver ponds, moose in the willows and bears in the bushes.

KELLY LOOP AND ANTELOPE FLATS

The eastern section of the valley is a great place to observe Plains species among the sagebrush, such as bison and pronghorn. Also keep an eye open for coyotes, northern harriers and sage grouse.

OXBOW BEND

One of the most scenic Grand Teton National Park vistas, this is also one of the richest for wildlife, with moose wading in the wetlands, river otters and hundreds of species of birds, from bald eagles to pelicans.

NATIONAL ELK REFUGE

In winter the National Elk Refuge is home to some 7,300 elk. The best way to meet them is by taking a Double H Bar horse-driven sleigh ride around the refuge. Bison, coyotes, bald eagles and wolves can also be viewed on the refuge and bighorn sheep in winter.

MILLION DOLLAR COWBOY BAR

YOU CAN’T VISIT JACKSON HOLE WITHOUT going to the iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar! Originally constructed in the late 1890s, this site was the town’s first bank before it became a café in the early 1900s. In 1937, it was renamed the Cowboy Bar and was granted Wyoming’s first official liquor license following the repeal of prohibition. Renamed the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in 1940, it remains one of Jackson’s most popular tourist destinations, famous for its Western dancing, live music and saddles in place of bar stools.

Acquire Amazing Art

In the past decade, Jackson Hole has taken its place beside Scottsdale, Santa Fe, San Francisco and New York as a major destination for art lovers, becoming known as the Art Center of the Rockies. The National Center for Arts Research ranks Jackson as the most vibrant arts community among U.S. populations smaller than 1 million.

Many famous artists and photographers have been inspired by the landscape and wildlife in Jackson Hole, including Ansel Adams, Thomas Moran, Charles Banks Wilson and Conrad Schwiering.

Nearly 30 local galleries—including the National Museum of Wildlife Art—proudly present a broad range of work, from old masters like Frederic Remington to nationally and internationally known contemporary artists.

Things to Do

Go Fish

One of the quintessential activities to do in Jackson Hole is fly fishing with the impressive Teton Range as a backdrop. The legendary Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout draws anglers of all abilities from every corner of the world. Pursue these revered “cutties” and more with a guided trip from one of several local fly fishing outfitters. A fun and unique spot for children and first-time anglers to fish—via fly or worm—is the Jackson National Fish Hatchery, north of the town of Jackson off Hwy 191. A half-acre pond on the hatchery grounds is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

TRIANGLE X RANCH

OUR PROFESSIONAL GUIDES make you feel like family and share their passion for some of the finest trout fishing in the West—on the Snake River in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park or Yellowstone’s spring creeks and mountain lakes.

trianglex.com | 307-733-5500

Grand Teton National Park, Moose

Ask a guide...

Beyond catching fish, how do you know that your guests have had a successful trip with you?

Sharing the Snake River and providing a unique, inspiring experience is the goal. Most days our native trout and whitefish will cooperate enough to challenge any expert or provide the novice angler with their first catch with a fly rod. The overall experience of fly fishing among the Tetons in Jackson Hole is incredible regardless of angling results.

FISH THE FLY GUIDE SERVICE

JOIN ONE OF FISH THE FLY’S GOOD-NATURED GUIDES on a guided fishing trip to one of the region’s best rivers or remote backcountry creeks or lakes.

Get on the Water

You can’t go wrong with a rafting trip on the Snake River. Numerous companies guide trips through the Class I, II and III rapids that churn through the Snake River Canyon to the south of Jackson, and down the spectacularly scenic, calmer stretches of the Snake River that wind through Grand Teton National Park.

If you want to brave the Snake River Canyon, expect a rock-and-roll thrill ride that will have you dripping wet and beaming from ear to ear. And, there’s no shortage of glorious views.

During a mellower float trip in the park, you’ll only get soaked if you hop out of the boat and swim. The lazily flowing waters make these stretches of the Snake River ideal for wildlife viewing and catching unique, ever-shifting views of the Teton and Gros Ventre mountain ranges.

TRAVELER TRIP

holehike.com | 307-690-4453

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR HIKE...

What’s the driving time to the trailhead?

What is the activity level of your group?

Are you hiking with small children?

What are the trail conditions?

Verify at visitor centers or ranger stations.

Do you have bear spray?

Hiking in Jackson Hole runs the gamut from river walks to boulder scrambles to mountain panoramas and getting high—like thousands of feet high. Peak hiking season stretches from late June through the end of September. This is the golden time when days are longest, trails are driest and you’ll see a variety of plant life, including waving wildflower meadows in July and fiery aspens in the fall.

Before you head out, check the forecast on mountainweather.com. Be aware that afternoon thunderstorms are frequent. In addition, many trails are exposed and offer limited shade, so proper hydration and sun protection are crucial.

While we recommend taking at least one hike in Grand Teton National Park during your stay (see page 23), great hiking is also found throughout the rest of Jackson Hole in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Near the town of Jackson, Goodwin Lake Trail and the Cache Creek trail system are popular, low-stress options. More challenging trails zigzag up Snow King Mountain.

Halfway up Teton Pass, in Wilson, you’ll find the Phillips Canyon Road and the trailhead for a handful of trails accessing the southern end of the Tetons, including the Teton Crest Trail. Ski Lake is a favorite, moderate, 5-mile round-trip hike in this area. For more information on hiking in Jackson Hole, visit jht. guide/hike

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s downhill mountain bike park is accessed via the Teewinot chairlift and Sweetwater Gondola. Built by Gravity Logic, the world’s premier mountain bike park developer, this park represents the finest in trail design and construction. There are multiple trails of varying ability providing plenty of fun and challenge for everyone, from new bikers to the seasoned rider. The trails have a progressive rating system, just like the ski trails. Wide, smooth “green” trails cater to the largest number of riders, but you can work your way up in difficulty to the “blue” trails with their banked turns, or the “dark blue” and “black” trails, which provide tight turns, drop features and big jumps. Ride the Sweetwater Gondola up 1,276 vertical feet with your bike to ride down on one of our three newest trails. Options abound for every level including novice trails for the uninitiated as well as eye-opening advanced trails and jump tracks. Sail over tabletops, flow around corners and then catch the Teewinot lift or Sweetwater Gondola for a 5-minute ride back to the top. Should you need to rent a bike or bike gear, JH Sports in Teton Village has an expert staff that can outfit you and your family for any bike park or downhill biking expedition. They also host JH Sports Youth Bike Camp.

If you are hitting the trails or cruising along the scenic bike path north into Grand Teton National Park or south into Wilson and need road bikes, pathway bikes, e-bikes and kids bikes—Teton Village Sports has you covered. Teton Village Sports is also home to Grand Fishing Adventures, which is the only fly fishing shop in Teton Village with all the supplies you need for a day on the river.

WINTER

Famous for world-class skiing, breathtaking scenery and a truly Western spirit, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) extends a world of wonder to new and returning visitors alike. No other resort in North America offers such a completely authentic ski vacation.

Rendezvous and Après Vous mountains can accommodate beginners through experts, and every adventurer in between. Situated in the heart of the Tetons and home to North America’s most iconic lift, the Aerial Tram, JHMR has the country’s longest vertical rise served by a single lift. As a counterpoint to the vast, yet challenging terrain accessed via the tram, the high-speed Bridger Gondola provides acres of moderate, groomed slopes for the intermediate skier. The Sweetwater Gondola, located between the Bridger Gondola and Teewinot High Speed Quad, has a mid-station approximately a third of the way up the mountain, in the Solitude area. It then proceeds upward to its termination just uphill of the Casper Restaurant. This gondola provides access to terrain perfect for beginners and intermediates.

Families and individuals will enjoy exploring the mountain with our Mountain Sports School instructors and unique Backcountry Guide program. Improved grooming and snowmaking across the mountain continue to be a priority at the resort as well.

Forgot your goggles? Need to rent skis? The friendly and professional staff at JH Sports and Teton Village Sports, are prepared to get you on the mountain quickly. Have kids? Make a stop at the Kids Ranch facilities, where children learn to ski and so much more. With reliable snow, friendly staff and great terrain for all abilities, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is a memorable vacation destination for all types of skiers and riders. Come experience Western hospitality at its finest this winter in Teton Village.

Alta, Wyoming

grandtarghee.com | 307-353-2300

800-TARGHEE (827-4433) | 3300 Ski Hill, Alta, WY

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 17+ 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, which is located at the base of Grand Targhee.

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, let Targhee’s hiking guides tour you through many miles of hiking trails. Our guides carry bear spray so you are free to focus on exploring the great outdoors. Guided hikes also include a Scenic Chair Lift Ticket.

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. The new Colter Lift on Peaked Mountain has opened up 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. Targhee’s pool is also open to the public during certain hours. Located slopeside you can splish, splash and swim all you like. 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. Powder Cache is also located in the main plaza and is home to some of the best food in the area. The menu features inhouse specials, including fresh local ingredients and Wyoming-raised beef.

Located on the western slopes of the Tetons, Grand Targhee Resort is an adventure-lovers paradise. Enjoy the quiet side of the range and experience world-class trail systems, legendary alpine views, and the laid-back western feel.

THINGS TO DO IN WINTER

Hit the Slopes

jhtguide.com/winterfun

With an average annual snowfall ranging from 450 inches to more than 500, skiing in and around Jackson Hole is world-class.

Snow King Mountain Resort, known as the “Town Hill,” boasts one of the steepest sustained pitches, top-to-bottom, of any area in the lower 48 states. A favorite lunchtime destination for locals, it hosts many national ski teams during the early season and local, state and regional alpine races throughout the winter. The King also offers night skiing under the lights until 7 p.m.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort was named the No. 1 Ski Resort in North America by Forbes magazine eight years in a row when the magazine used to publish that list. Considered the closest to a European ski experience within the U.S., JHMR provides acres of expert terrain and out-of-bound skiing, plus the longest continuous vertical drop of any ski area in the country: 4,139 feet.

Grand Targhee Resort is located on the typically snowier west side of the Tetons in Alta, Wyoming, and is known for the most powder days of any ski area in the country. With a vertical drop of 2,270 feet, it offers a mellower atmosphere with excellent skiing for all abilities.

HISTORY OF SKIING IN JACKSON HOLE

1925: Early valley skiers transition from using a single pole, placed between the legs to slow down, to using two poles and making turns.

1930s: Local skiers install rope tows on various mountains around Jackson Hole. Olympic ski team member Betty Woolsey arrives in the valley to train. Paul and Curly Petzoldt and Fred Brown ski the first-known descent of Rendezvous Mountain, the future home of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

1939: Snow King opens, becoming Wyoming’s first ski area.

1946: Neil Rafferty installs the first chairlift in Wyoming on Snow King, driven by the wheels of an Army pickup truck.

1964: A Californian named Paul McCollister purchases 166 acres at the base of Rendezvous Mountain and forms the Jackson Hole Ski Corporation, the precursor to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

1965: Jackson Hole Ski Corporation opens Après Vous Mountain to the public.

1966: The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram starts taking skiers to the top of Rendezvous, solidifying Jackson Hole as an international ski destination.

Things to Do

Go Snowmobiling

With hundreds of miles of trails and some of the most beautiful winter terrain in the country to explore, a snowmobile trip in Jackson Hole is a day you won’t soon forget. Rent a snowmobile or join an outfitter for a guided half- or full-day tour. The latter excursions are generally early wake-up affairs that make the most of an entire day of snowmobiling.

WHERE TO GO

Yellowstone National Park is closed to regular vehicular traffic in winter, making a snowmobile tour on the park’s snow-covered roads a special, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Zoom along the Continental Divide trail system on the No. 1-ranked snowmobile terrain in the country, Togwotee Pass.

Cruise out to Granite Hot Springs and then hop into the welcoming thermal pool.

GO COACH!

Experience the snow-covered roads of Yellowstone National Park in a snowcoach—one of the only ways to access Old Faithful in the winter. Snowcoach tours provide a warmer, more social and relaxing alternative to snowmobiling. Also offered are guided interpretations of the wildlife, history and geological features of the world’s first national park.

bart5.com | 307-733-0277

Things to Do

Explore Nordic Trails

Take in Jackson Hole’s amazing wilderness on crosscountry skis, snowshoes—or a “fat bike.” With most of the roads in Grand Teton National Park closed in the winter, a half- or full-day tour with an outfitter such as Hole Hiking Experience or Teton Mountain Bike Tours offers a truly unique glimpse into the park’s winter habitat. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort also offers guided tours, classes and rental gear.

JACKSON HOLE NORDIC

LOCAL, TRUSTED SOURCE FOR NORDIC SKI TRAILS for skate and cross-country skiing, fat-biking, and snowshoeing in and around Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park and Teton Valley, Idaho. Jackson Hole Nordic provides  100+ GPS trail maps, events, lessons, rentals, grooming and daily trail reports.

jhnordic.com

TRAVELER TRIP

If you’ve brought your pooch with you on vacation, please note that they are prohibited on park trails for their own safety and the safety of wildlife.

TRAVELER TIDBIT

The first issue of Jackson’s first newspaper—Jackson’s Hole Courier—was published on Jan. 28, 1909. The Jackson Hole Daily and Jackson Hole News&Guide are today’s newspapers of record.

Day passes are available to groomed trail systems at Teton Pines Cross Country Ski Center, Grand Targhee Nordic Ski Area and Trail Creek Nordic Center. Looking for an all-inclusive experience? Stay in a cozy cabin at Triangle X Guest Ranch, the only concession open in Grand Teton National Park in the winter, which offers cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and wildlife viewing right outside your front door. Or go to Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa, on the eastern edge of Jackson Hole, where you can enjoy miles of Nordic trails, plus ice fishing, snowmobiling and more.

For do-it-yourselfers, multiple options are available throughout the valley. Teton County grooms many of its pathways in the wintertime. Popular destinations include the Cache Creek and Game Creek trails near the town of Jackson, the Snake River levee at Emily Stevens Park and the Wilson Centennial Pathway. In Grand Teton National Park, skiers and snowshoers enjoy the trails to Bradley and Taggart lakes and the Phelps Lake overlook.

THE HOLE HIKING EXPERIENCE

SNOWSHOE AND CROSS-COUNTRY SKI TOURS. Jackson’s original nature company—since 1989. Get off the beaten track and explore Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park with a naturalist guide. Our tours are fun, informative and catered to your activity level and interests. All ages and abilities welcome.

holehike.com | 307-690-4453

Go Heli-skiing

Talk about once-in-a-lifetime experiences! There is no better way to fill your day with run after run of untouched powder than heli-skiing. Your flight will take you deep into the mountains around Jackson Hole, where a guide will point out the best bowls, chutes and glades so you can make turns of a lifetime.

Get into the Backcountry

Jackson Hole is internationally renowned for its backcountry skiing and snowboarding. With access available from the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Teton Pass and Grand Teton National Park, getting into the backcountry is easier than ever. But be warned: It’s also easier than ever to find yourself in trouble. Teton County Search and Rescue volunteers and Grand Teton park rangers are dispatched several times a year to extract the unaware or unprepared from the Teton backcountry. Injuries and fatalities caused by avalanches and falls off of cliffs also occur far too frequently, even with the most experienced skiers and snowboarders.

HIGH MOUNTAIN HELI-SKIING

UNTRACKED, UNTOUCHED, UNBELIEVABLE! Since 1974, High Mountain Heli-Skiing has been offering our guests the ultimate deep-powder heli-skiing experience in Jackson Hole. Vast open bowls, steep chutes, enchanted forests and glades can all be yours to explore. Let the guides with 50 years of experience show you the adventure.

heliskijackson.com | 307-733-3274

All backcountry users, regardless of their chosen mode of travel—alpine or Nordic skis, snowboard, snowshoes or ice axe and crampons (for ice climbers)— need to be prepared for and educated about every possible condition and scenario. An avalanche course is highly recommended. Start at a local shop like Skinny Skis, Teton Mountaineering or Wilson Backcountry Sports to find out what information and gear is required for a successful backcountry experience. Or contact a local guide company, such as Exum Mountain Guides or Jackson Hole Mountain Guides, about available courses and trips.

Whether you head into the backcountry with or without a guide, always check the avalanche conditions first at jhavalanche.org.

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE to hang your hat?

Anywhere—you’re in Jackson Hole! That being said, it really depends on what you’re looking for and what regions of the valley you’d like to call your temporary home! jht.guide/stay

TOWN OF JACKSON

Some of the advantages of choosing lodging in the town of Jackson include easy access to restaurants— from casual eateries to decidedly upscale dining establishments—and a multitude of shops.

Other perks include the rodeo grounds, museums and art galleries. Snow King Mountain, which offers both day and night skiing in the winter and numerous activities and events throughout the year, is located on the southern edge of town. Jackson is also a short drive from Jackson Hole Airport and Grand Teton National Park.

The widest range of accommodations is found in town, too, from charming B&Bs to budget motels.

TETON VILLAGE

Your other major lodging choice is Teton Village, the home of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. “The Village” is the happening place to be during the ski season, with its own enviable roster of shopping and restaurant options.

In the winter you have instant access to the ski resort without the hassle of parking—simply carry your skis to the base lift of your choice and off you go into the powder! During the summer months a stay in The Village is quieter, but imbued with expansive views and a mountain feel.

Teton Village is pedestrian-friendly, so you don’t need a car to go anywhere within it. The START bus provides regular service to and from the town of Jackson. And the southwestern entrance to Grand Teton National Park is only minutes away.

WESTBANK/MID-VALLEY

Condominiums and overnight suites are available in the Aspens/Teton Pines area 4 miles south of Teton Village.

Spring Creek Resort, which sits atop East Gros Ventre Butte, is 3 miles west of the town of Jackson and offers a range of overnight and weekly accommodations. Its next-door neighbor, caters to the even more luxury-minded.

Scattered throughout the valley are B&Bs, guest ranches, cabins and private homes to rent. Check out vrbo.com and Airbnb.com for the latter option or go to jacksonholetraveler.com for more suggestions.

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

To experience Grand Teton National Park many people choose to stay within its boundaries in the summer. This offers you the opportunity to be close to what the park has to offer while still being able to travel back and forth to Jackson for other activities and in-town dining.

There are a number of lodging options, from camper cabins in Colter Bay and historic cottages at Jenny Lake Lodge to a full-service resort at Lake Lodge and an honest-to-goodness dude ranch, the Triangle X, which is the only lodging open in the park in the wintertime!

No matter where you choose to stay while on vacation in Jackson Hole, the Teton Range watches over you. So any choice is the right choice.
