Fall & Winter Parks
TOP 10 THINGS TO DO
Grand Teton
Where to stay
Jenny Lake Lodge
In the park: Jenny Lake Lodge— an incredible location at the park back by beautiful accommodations, activities and dining options.
In town: Try Trail Creek Ranch for a private ranch experience or the Huff House Inn for a B&B style stay in town with affordable rates and amazing food!
WHERE TO HIKE
String Lake
It’s low-key and incredibly beautiful. If you’re more experienced, check in with the rangers about some of the best backcountry trips or better yet, hike & mountaineer Grand Teton itself!
MUST SEE LANDMARK
Schwabacher's Landing
It’s essentially the best parts of the park all combined in one accessible spot.
WHERE TO SEE SUNRISE/SUNSET
Curtis Canyon
A personal favorite of mine for our nearby public lands, the views are incredible of the valley and Tetons. You’ll need a 4wd vehicle, as the road tends to get gutted!
QUINTESSENTIAL SCENIC DRIVE
HWY 89
In the winter, HWY 89 which is one of the only roads open in the park but will take you from one end to the other for some amazing views and creature sightings! In the summer, cruise the Teton Park Road!
SECRET SPOT
Teton Pass
Most people cruise over it if at all and head on their way, but there are tons of amazing hikes in the summer and skis in the winter (trained & avalanche prepared aware skiing only!). Granite Hot Springs is another worthy visit!
WHERE TO REFUEL
Picas
It’s our favorite local dirtbag dig for the best Tex-Mex food, super low-key easy going feels and great people. In the summer, the patio is the best in the evening! And, the guac and chips are out of the world. Be the ultimate local and get a “wet burrito”.
WHERE TO ENJOY A COLD ONE
Trapper Grill
A casual spot to grab food and drink with incredible views of the park. Don’t miss snagging one of Jackson’s local brews when you’re in town, though!
SELFIE SPOT
Antler Arches or Mormon Row
In town, the antler arches are an endless favorite. For a more wild feel to your selfie style, head out to Mormon Row for amazing old barns & a straight shot view of the Tetons.
RADICAL ACTIVITY
River Rafting
In the summer, join one of the local rafting crews and hit the Snake River, it’s our favorite off-day activity. Grab a Jackson classic “sloshie” afterwards. In the winter, hit Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for some insane skiing. In the park itself, join one of JH’s Ecotours to learn about the landscape and creatures that make the park so incredible.
