Grand Teton National Park
Need we say more? There is a lifetime of things to do in the Tetons. Hiking: Phelps Lake Loop, Bradley Taggart, Delta Lake, Jenny Lake loop. If you are itching to get up into the high Alpine, Lake Solitude or Hurricane Pass are gorgeous! Swiming: So Many! Jackson Lake (via Signal Mountain Boat Launch), Phelps Lake, Jenny Lake, and String Lake/Leigh Lake are our recs. String/Leigh Lake are great for paddleboarding or canoeing. Biking: There is no mountain biking in the park, but check out Shadow Mountain. For road biking or gravel biking, try the scenic route past Jenny Lake. Dining: Dornan's in Moose, Signal Mountain's Huckleberry Marg, Enjoy breakfast at the diner at Jackson Lake Lodge. Shopping: Britt sells her art at Art Shop JH located next to Dornan's in Moose!

Art Shop JH

Lower Slide Lake
30 mins from Red Rock Ranch / 6.4 miles. The Slide Lake beach is a small, beautiful lake access point on the western shore, ideal for kayaks, canoes, paddleboards. It is located down the Taylor Ranch Road, a right turn off the main Gros Ventre Road when heading up from Kelly. There are no facilities located on site. Parking is limited/ tight. The Atherton Creek Boating Site is the main boating access for Slide Lake, and on the eastern shore. It is located at the end of the paved portion of the Gros Ventre Road. There is a boat ramp, small dock extending into the lake, and it's a beautiful place for fishing, swimming, or hanging out with family and friends. Bathrooms and potable water are available nearby in the campground. The parking area is very large and can accommodate trailers. Sometimes, it can be very windy on the Atherton side of slide lake, so we recommend the western beach for hanging out!
Kelly Cliffs, Gros Ventre River
Kelly Cliffs is a popular swimming hole on the Gros Ventre River. Water levels can be low during September, so be sure to double check depths before jumping. On the Gros Ventre Road, take the first pullout on the right past Kelly Warm Springs. Park and walk west 150m to the cliffs.
Mountain Bike at Shadow Mountain
Shadow Mountain takes about 45 minutes to drive to from the ranch. It's a 7.2-mile out-and-back (or shuttle) trail near Kelly, Wyoming with incredible views of the Tetons. Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a popular trail for mountain biking, and may be dusty this time of year. Dogs are allowed.
Red Rock Ranch Activities
Hiking: There are a bunch of hiking trails on the buttes surrounding the ranch Fishing: There is a stocked fishing pond that guests are invited to use. Fishing on the creeks on the property is not allowed, but there is great fishing just outside the property off of Gros Ventre River Road. Swimming: The pool on the ranch may be out of service for the wedding :( , but there is swimming allowed and encouraged in the fishing pond, and there is also a great swimming hole and spot to hang out across from the ranch on the Gros Ventre River. The ranch may have paddleboards that guests can use, ask them! The hot tub should be working by the pool! Games: pickleball, horseshoes, volleyball, tetherball, and more is all available on the ranch! Horses: The ranch does not offer horse rides this time of year, but you can pet the horses on the property, and we can arrange horseback riding for you in advance of the weekend if you'd like!
