Things To Do
SNAKE RIVER WHITEWATER RAFTING & FLOAT TRIPS
One of our favorite things to do near the Tetons. You can also “float” rather than “raft” if that floats your boat. Below are some recommendations (though you can’t go wrong with any company given the views): Barker-Ewing | 800.448.4202 Dave Hansen Whitewater | 307.733.6295
Golfing
Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis | 307.733.3111 (we are obviously partial to this one but call to book asap as they book quickly!) Teton Pines | 307.733.1733

Phelps Lake
Hiking to Phelps Lake is a popular short hike in Grand Teton National Park. The hike to the lake is 4 miles round trip. You can also choose to venture around the lake and jump off the famed jumping rock. Continue further into Death Canyon if you are looking for a longer hike.
Taggart & Bradley Lakes
Beautiful lakes at the base of the Tetons! This is another mellow hike to gorgeous views. The Taggart Lake to Bradley Lake loop is 5.5 miles and will not disappoint!
Granite Canyon
Moderate to difficult depending on length of hike. This goes to the top of the Tram (15 miles), but you can go up as little or much as you want.
Surprise & Amphitheater Lakes
This ten-mile round trip is a Teton classic, but because it climbs about 3,000 vertical feet over 5 miles it is considered difficult. An early start is recommended.
Top of the Gondola
The trailhead is conveniently located in Teton Village. Follow the Wildflower trail up the ski resort to the Couloir restaurant at the top of the Gondola. If you time your hike accurately, you can make it to the Couloir Deck in time for some live music and drinks and take the Gondola back down for free!
Leigh, Bearpaw & Trapper Lakes
This straightforward, flat hike offers stunning views of the sheer north faces of the main Teton peaks. Leave your car at the String Lake parking lot and head north along a well-marked path.
Jenny Lake & Hidden Falls
Easy hike with a boat ride across the lake. This is a great spot for children and families as the boat ride is fun, and you can walk up to the waterfalls at Hidden Falls (or not). Boats leave from Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls about every 20 minutes. There can be crowds!
