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.

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.
