Explore the National Parks

 

Grand Teton National Park: Located just north of Teton Village on the Moose Wilson Road. It can also be accessed from 191 through Moose. There is an entrance fee and you can purchase passes online or in person at the ranger stations. Stop by any of the visitor centers for suggestions on where to explore.

​

Yellowstone National Park: Located roughly an hour and a half north of Jackson, Yellowstone is one of the country's most visited National Parks. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful.

Hiking​

​

While there are many amazing options for hikes in and around Jackson, below are a few of our favorites we recommend!

 

Phelps Lake and Death Canyon at the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve: A great moderate hiking trek to Phelps Lake overlook with the option for a longer hike into Death Canyon. Start from the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Visitor Center and parking area South of the Moose Visitor’s Center. Pack your swimsuit for a cold-water plunge off the locally famous “jumping rock”.

​

Granite Canyon: Moderate to difficult depending on length of hike. This hike goes to the top of the tram (15 miles), but you can go up as little or as much as you want.

​

Surprise & Amphitheater Lakes: Difficult, but “A Teton Classic.” This 10 mile round trip hike is a Teton classic, but because it climbs about 3,000 vertical feet over five miles it is considered difficult. An early start is recommended...or plan to sleep over!

​

Bradley & Taggart Lakes: Quiet 2.5 mile hike in GTNP. Another classic Teton hike, this one is generally a bit less busy than Hidden Falls. Leaving the parking lot 2.5 miles North of the Moose Visitor Center the trail soon divides, one to the South and one to the North, and these paths reunite at Taggart Lake. 

​

Jenny Lake and Hidden Falls: Easy hike in Grand Teton National Park with a boat ride across the lake. This is a great spot for children and families as the boat ride alone is fun and the walk up to Hidden Falls is a bonus.  Be aware that this hike can be quite busy! Boats leave from South Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls about every 20 minutes. 

​

Snow King Mountain: Snow King Mountain is a summer and Winter recreation area and great option for a hike located right outside of the town of Jackson. The mountain is Jackson's original 1936 ski hill and was the first ski area in the state of Wyoming. Locals sometimes refer to Snow King as "The Town Hill."

Biking​

 

For biking enthusiasts, there are bike trails that go from Teton Village to Jackson (town). Bike rentals in the Village are available at many stores including 

 JH Sports 

Teton Village Sports​

Bike trails go from the Village to Wilson and to Jackson for the more ambitious. The bike path in Grand Teton National Park is very nice, except for the stretch on the Moose-Wilson Road where you are biking with the cars (note: we don’t recommend biking North of Teton Village on Moose-Wilson Road due to dust and cars on narrow roads). If you want to bike in the park it is best to rent your bike in Moose. Bike rentals are available at Dornan’s and from there you can bike North to Jenny Lake. Pathway maps are available at local hotels and sporting goods stores, or online.
