Year Round Activities in Jackson Hole

In the summer, enjoy hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and sightseeing in Jackson Hole. If you didn’t bring transportation, you can rent a car or motorcycle nearby and drive around Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. There are several popular day hikes in Grand Teton. For a workout with a great view, hike up Snow King Mountain right in town and take in the incredible scenery. For an adventure, try whitewater rafting down the Snake River with one of the town’s many rafting companies.

If you’re visiting in the winter, Jackson Hole is a world-renowned skiing destination. If skiing isn’t your favorite activity, many outfitters offer snowmobiling trips, sleigh rides, snowshoe tours, dog sledding, and more. A sleigh ride at the National Elk Refuge will take you right up to the thousands of elk that gather here in the winter.
