Grand Teton National Park spans over 300,000 acres and boasts a 40-mile stretch of majestic mountain peaks known as the Teton Range. Situated with a direct overlook of Jackson Hole, this park has become a popular tourist destination, drawing in hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Grand Teton and Jackson Hole are no longer hidden gems and this increased popularity has advantages—it translates to a broader range of accommodation and dining options for travelers.
Amidst the expansive natural beauty, visitors can explore untouched nature paths, protected forests, scenic hiking trails, wildlife safaris, and leisurely float trips along the Snake River. Despite its popularity, the park manages to avoid overcrowding, providing ample space for an unhurried and immersive experience.
Whether you’re gearing up for an adventurous bike tour or planning a tranquil float trip on the Snake River, adequate preparation is the key. With careful planning and ample time, you can make the most of your visit, enjoying moments of closeness to nature, romantic interludes, or engaging in memorable family activities. Grand Teton National Park offers a sanctuary where you can escape the crowds and create lasting memories during your vacation.
More Than a Weekend
Imagine having a week-long break, with five blissful days for vacation and an additional day for travel on each end. Here’s our suggestion: allocate a day for an exhilarating whitewater rafting or a leisurely scenic floating adventure. Plan a couple of days for invigorating hikes, immersing yourself in the natural beauty surrounding you. Afterward, treat yourself to a day of well-deserved rest. It’s crucial to recharge before returning to the routine of school or work. The last thing you want is to feel exhausted and unrested from a vacation too packed with activities.
As you approach the final days of your getaway, consider your preferences when choosing things to do in Jackson. Are you drawn to the thrill of wild safaris, the serenity of horseback riding, the excitement of fishing expeditions, or perhaps the tranquility of canoeing or kayaking? While it may be challenging to experience everything quickly, with five days at your disposal, you can effortlessly check off your top 5 or 6 “must do’s.” Make the most of your limited time and create lasting memories with the experiences that matter most to you!
