Things To Do
Hiking
Wildflower Trail, Jackson Hole Mountain (3.9 to top / moderate): Our favorite hike! Enjoy the sunshine and stunning views of the valley. Grab a drink at the top of the gondola and take it down, for free! Jenny Lake (7 miles / easy-moderate): A great intro to the park as you get beautiful views of both the lake and the Tetons. We recommend adding the ~2 miles to reach panoramic views from Inspiration Point. You can also opt to take the ferry one or both ways across the lake. Taggart Lake (4 miles / easy): A shorter option but one that still provides beautiful mountain views. Jump in the lake for a refreshing dip mid-hike. Delta Lake (7.5 miles / hard): For those looking for a challenge, this is a steeper trail (and rocky at parts) but with incredible views and an alpine lake at the top. Cascade Canyon / Lake Solitude (15 miles / hard): This trail takes you deep into the canyon at the base of the Tetons where moose and bear sightings are common.
Yellowstone National Park
For those extending their trip, we highly recommend a visit to Yellowstone. The south entrance to the park is roughly an hour and a half north of Jackson, but to get the full experience we’d suggest budgeting at least one full day.
Other Activities
Fly Fishing: We highly recommend Jackson Hole Fly Fishing School. White Water Rafting: Check out Dave Hansen. Horseback Riding: Mill Iron Ranch (closer to Jackson) or Little Jenny Ranch for the full cowboy experience :) Jackson Hole Tram or Gondola: Ride the aerial tram or gondola for stunning views and the best waffles at Corbet's Cabin (top of tram).
Coffee + Breakfast
Persephone Bakery: Our favorite spot in town for breakfast or lunch offering pastries and sandwiches just off the town square. Cowboy Coffee Co: Locally roasted coffee on the square with additional options for smoothies and breakfast sandwiches. Picnic: Sister restaurant to Persephone, so tasty, our absolute favorite.
Lunch + Dinner
Snake River Grill: The locals favorite fine dining experience. Local Restaurant + Bar: A modern steakhouse and bar located in the heart of Jackson. Glorietta: A cozy Italian restaurant with homemade pastas just off the town square. Orsetto Italian Bar + Eatery: Tasty Italian restaurant with seasonal outdoor seating. Teton Thai: Located in teton vilage, the best thai food you'll find around.
Drinks
Million Dollar Cowboy Bar: Jackson’s iconic bar on the town square with live music every night. Silver Dollar Bar: Western-themed bar inside the historic Wort Hotel in downtown Jackson. This is a more laid back option if you are looking to catch live music in town. Snake River Brewing: Local brewery with a full menu for lunch and dinner. A great place to gather with a group; we recommend grabbing seats on the lawn if it’s a nice day!
