WELCOME TO JACKSON HOLE
Welcome on-the-go, must-know travelers to Jackson Hole! It’s here 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.
JACKSON HOLE
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.
THE HISTORY OF JACKSON HOLE
JACKSON HOLE HISTORY
THE LAND OF THE RUGGED ADVENTURERS AND STOIC SETTLERS
The 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.
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.
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.

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 oneseason economy to a year-round one, drawing visitors from every corner of the world.

A MYRIAD OF ADVENTURES 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-too-short 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! let the memories begin!
Jackson Hole Today
With 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.

QUINTESSENTIAL JACKSON HOLE MOMENTS
Hit Town Square
Bathed by the neon honky-tonk sign of the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar and bordered by four quirky elkantler arches, the Town Square forms Jackson Hole’s retail and artistic core. Town Square is home to the Jackson Hole Shootout, the longest-running gunfight in the country. Take a photo under the antler arches.
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.
Get Active
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.
Glide to a Summit
Stunning views are yours to be had at the top of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Snow King Mountain. Hop aboard the Aerial Tram at JHMR for a look at the valley and the Teton Range from an elevation of 10,450’. Snow King’s Scenic Gondola lives up to its name in spades with an enviable view of the whole of the Hole and the mountains beyond.
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.
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.
The Bridger-Teton National Forest is the third-largest national forest in the lower 48, encompassing 3.4 million acres. That’s roughly the size of Connecticut!
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!
Ski at 3 Major Ski Resorts
Jackson Hole boasts two major ski areas and a third “over the hill”—Grand Targhee. In 2025, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort was named the No. 1 ski resort in North America by Condé Nast Traveler. Snow King Mountain literally looms over the town of Jackson and holds the title of the first ski area in Wyoming.
Find Your Western Spirit
Attending the 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.
Check Out the Heavens
Snow King Mountain’s state-of-the-art Observatory and Planetarium lets you stargaze and check out the skies day and night. A rooftop observation deck allows portable telescopes to be set up for additional viewing during astronomical events.
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.

PRACTICAL 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, getting you to restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Buses also run between Jackson and Teton Village and in the winter from the airport and Jackson.
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 55-57, or jht.guide/bike
HIGH-ALTITUDE HEALTH TIPS
PREPARE FOR HIGH-ALTITUDE
Jackson Hole sits at 6,300 feet above sea level. Most visitors adjust well, but some may experience altituderelated symptoms, especially during physical activity or at higher elevations. in advance to help reduce your risk of getting sick.
ALTITUDE SICKNESS
Common symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. If symptoms occur, rest, hydrate, and descend to a lower elevation. Most mild cases resolve quickly.
PROTECT YOURSELF
1. HYDRATE. It’s dry here and easy to get dehydrated.
2. LIMIT ALCOHOL.
3. REST. Transition to the high elevation gradually.
Visitors with significant medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before traveling. If you’re experiencing altitude sickness, postpone higherelevation trips, including Yellowstone, until symptoms improve.
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
Ain’t Life Grand?
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 97-year-old 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
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 Village. 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.
HIRE A GUIDE
Taking a guided wildlife tour through the park is a must! Embark on one during the early part of your visit so you’ll know where to look for furry and feathered critters both in the park and around it during the rest of your vacation.
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.

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.

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.
JENNY LAKE
(8 miles from visitor center)
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.
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.
2 1 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
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.
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!
(12 miles from Cunningham Cabin)
Decision Time: Turning left onto Antelope Flats Road will take you toward the extremely photogenic Moulton Barn on Mormon Row. There are often pronghorn, bison and moose to see on this route. If you decide to go this way, you will continue south and end up back at the Gros Ventre roundabout to get back to Jackson. If you choose to continue south to Moose Junction, drive past the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center and take the left onto the Moose-Wilson Road. You will exit the park at Teton Village.
2019 marked the 150th anniversary of Wyoming giving women the right to vote—the first state in the nation to do so—giving Wyoming the nickname “The Equality State.”

More “To Do” Options
SEE HOMESTEADER HISTORY
Visit the 1890s barns and ranch structures of Mormon Row, the Murie Center, in Moose, and Menor’s Ferry Historic District, which includes the Chapel of the Transfiguration. All are intriguing historic sites.
CATCH A NATIVE CUTTHROAT TROUT
Grand Teton National Park is a world-renowned fly fishing destination, especially for anglers hoping to land a Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Try a guided fishing trip down the Snake River or on Jackson Lake.
CLIMB A MOUNTAIN
While climbing the Grand Teton can be both a bucket list item and an ambitious undertaking— “easily” experienced with Exum or Jackson Hole Mountain Guides—you may want to opt for a family mountaineering adventure with Exum’s day-long introto-climbing program.
America’s National Park
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 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 predators like the grizzly bear and wolf forage and hunt the valleys. If you’re lucky, you’ll see all four species!

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

(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.
(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.
Be sure to check out Traveler’s Yellowstone National Park One-Day Lower Loop Sightseeing Itinerary.
Old Faithful geyser. Bison, bear and other fascinating wildlife abound within the park’s 3,500-square-mile boundary. Here is our recommended one-day lower-loop 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.
(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.

(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.

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.
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.
Pronghorn Wolves
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.
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.
Bison 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.
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.
Grizzly Bears 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.
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.

6 THINGS TO DO YEAR-ROUND
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.

Whitewater rafting is thought to have been invented on the Snake River, right here in Jackson in 1811, although the first commercial trip didn’t happen until 1941.
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 views of the Teton and Gros Ventre mountains.
Slather on sunscreen, especially when you’re on the water! Don’t forget to reapply,

Lace up your Hiking Boots
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.
Visit mountainweather.com for the forecast. Be aware of frequent afternoon thunderstorms. 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.
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. For more information on hiking around here, visit jht.guide/hike
