Summer Activities

Whether you're an adventure seeker in search of the ultimate whitewater experience or a nature lover coming to visit the national parks, Jackson Hole has it all.

The iconic Teton mountain range is home to renowned mountaineering peaks, scenic hiking and horseback trails, picturesque glacial lakes and diverse wildlife.  Flowing past these majestic mountains is the mighty Snake River, which offers extraordinary fly fishing, rafting and kayaking. 

Jackson Hole is close to the entrances of both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, so outdoor activity is only minutes away in any direction you turn.  The historic, old west town is bustling with activity.  Watch the nightly reenactment of a western shoot out in the town square, or meander along the boutique and gallery-lined boardwalks and for a unique shopping experience.  And it wouldn't be a real Jackson Hole vacation without a photo under the famous town square antler arches!  
 

Scenic Rides
A great way to take in the beauty of Jackson Hole is on a scenic ride at one of the area resorts.  The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Aerial Tram transports visitors to the summit of Rendezvous peak in under 10 minutes.  Take in breathtaking, 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers.  Head out on a day hike from here or simply take in the dramatic vistas that surround you.  The Snow King Resort Scenic Chairlift offers unparalleled views of the town of Jackson with the Tetons rising in the distance.  Grand Targhee Resort Scenic Rides provide a different perspective of the surrounding landscape.  Enjoy views of the Teton range from the west and explore the area on a short hike.
