Summer in Jackson Hole
Two national parks, wild rivers, and endless alpine trails. Here's what each area offers once the snow melts.
The Greater Teton Region in Summer
Hiking, rafting, wildlife, and mountain biking across Grand Teton and Yellowstone — the Tetons are just as spectacular without snow.
Each Area in Summer
Summer Guide
Jackson Hole
Your launchpad into Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Spot moose at sunrise, raft the Snake beneath the peaks, ride the tram to alpine trails, and come back to a buzzing town of galleries, patios, and live music. Two national parks, one unforgettable base.
- Gateway to two national parks
- Scenic & whitewater floats on the Snake River
- Aerial tram to high-alpine hiking & dining
Summer Guide
Grand Targhee
When the snow melts, Targhee turns into a wildflower-covered playground. Bomb lift-served downhill trails, hike ridgelines with the whole Teton range in view, and soak in the kind of big scenery and small crowds that feel like a secret.
- Lift-served downhill mountain biking
- Wildflower meadows & ridgeline hikes
- Huge Teton views, tiny crowds
Summer Guide
Teton Valley
The quiet side of the Tetons, where blue-ribbon rivers, empty trailheads, and golden-hour porch views set the pace. Cast for trout in the morning, hike into the parks in the afternoon, and trade crowds for genuine mountain-town calm.
- World-class fly-fishing rivers
- Quiet trailheads into both parks
- Laid-back mountain-town charm
Why We Love Summer in Jackson Hole
Two National Parks
Grand Teton & Yellowstone
Grand Teton rises right out of the valley and Yellowstone is a short drive north — two of America's most iconic parks, both in your backyard.
Endless Adventure
Activities & Exploring
Raft the Snake, hike the Tetons, fish, bike, ride, and climb — summer days here are as full as you want them to be.
America's Serengeti
Wildlife Spotting
Moose, bison, elk, bald eagles, and the occasional grizzly — the valley is one of the best places in the country to see them in the wild.
Cowboy Country
Western Vibes
Town square shootouts, summer rodeos, ranch stays, and live music under the big Wyoming sky — the West is alive here.
Summer Activities
Whitewater Rafting
The Snake River runs wild
Float the gentle sections of the Snake through Grand Teton National Park or tackle the whitewater of Snake River Canyon — both are unforgettable.
