Things to See and Do in Jackson Hole

Jackson Hole, a jewel of Wyoming, is a treasure trove of adventures waiting to be discovered. Whether you're an adrenaline seeker, a nature lover, or someone looking to immerse in rich history, this destination has something for everyone. Here are some of our favourite things to do in this Western town.

Yellowstone National Park

 

Visiting Yellowstone National Park is undeniably one of the highlights when planning a Jackson Hole holiday. Who wouldn't be charmed by the hypnotic dance of its geysers, the rich colours of its sulfur lagoons, and mountains that look straight out of a fairy tale? But let's be real: as magical as Yellowstone is, peak seasons like summer get pretty crowded. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and miss out on the hidden gems. That's where we come in. Our experienced guides don't just take you to the famous spots; they unveil the park's secret nooks and share the best times to spot wildlife — like those serene moments at dawn and dusk. And if you're visiting in winter? We've got you covered! Our day safaris on snowmobiles and snow coaches ensure you won't miss landmarks like the Grand Prismatic Spring or the iconic Old Faithful Geyser, all while staying warm and safe.

Go Skiing

 

Jackson Hole is every skier's dream, and if you're someone who lives for the thrill of the slopes, you simply can't miss out. Imagine this: you're in a genuine cowboy town at the foot of one of North America's most challenging mountains. Sure, it's not the easiest journey to get there, and the slopes? They'll test your mettle. But the feeling of accomplishment when you glide down, the snow beneath your skis, is unmatched anywhere else. And when the sun goes down, there's still more skiing to be had, with the fresh trails of Grand Targhee or the nighttime adventures at the Snow King Resort. But skiing during a Jackson Hole holiday isn't just about the mountain —it's the whole experience. After a day on the slopes, there's nothing quite like the buzz of the town's vibrant nightlife, from live music that gets your feet tapping to card games that spark laughter and camaraderie. And don't get us started on the mouthwatering steaks and the joy of toasting the day with a cold beer.

Grand Teton National Park

 

Don't miss the breathtaking Grand Teton National Park when venturing on a Jackson Hole holiday. It's a world where towering peaks reflect in pristine glacial lakes and elk, bison, and bears roam free through unspoiled beauty. And if you're there in winter, the park becomes a snowy haven perfect for jeep safaris. With an expert guide, venture through elk refuges, Antelope Flats, and Mormon Row, hoping to glimpse herds in their natural habitat. We can also set you up with a visit to a local ranch, where a cowboy showcases his horse whispering prowess before you saddle up, taking in those stunning Teton views on horseback.

Wildlife Viewing

 

In the heart of Jackson Hole lies an adventure that nature enthusiasts dream of: wildlife viewing in the mesmerising landscapes of the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. We'll set you up with an expert guide to show you the best spots, like the elk refuge and Antelope Flats. If you're lucky, you might spot bison and pronghorns.

Of course, Jackson Hole has its own rhythm with the seasons. Summer's buzzing — loads of folks come by, especially to Yellowstone, but that's where your guide comes in, taking you off the beaten track. Then in Spring, it's baby animal season! Elk, moose, bison, bears — you name it. When autumn rolls around, the trees are like something out of a painting, and you'll see bears everywhere, gearing up for their big sleep. And, when winter hits, everything's covered in snow, making it even easier to spot wildlife. You can hop on a jeep in Grand Tetons or zoom around Yellowstone on a snowmobile.

When to go to Jackson Hole

A Jackson Hole holiday boasts four distinct seasons, each offering its own allure. Summer (June to August) is the peak period, with most of Yellowstone's visitors flocking during these months. A guide during this time can enhance the experience, leading you to off-the-beaten-path spots and prime wildlife viewing at dawn and dusk. Autumn (September to October) paints the landscape in brilliant golds and reds, with bears actively feeding in preparation for winter and elk moving toward the Elk Refuge.

Winter (December to March) transforms Jackson Hole into a snowy wonderland, making wildlife watching a captivating experience against the white backdrop. Explore the Grand Tetons by jeep and Yellowstone by snowmobile or snow-coach. Meanwhile, the late off-season (April to May) welcomes newborn wildlife, bridging the chilly winter to the vibrant summer. We can craft an itinerary during any season, depending on your interests.
