Despite the influx of settlers, nature still reigns supreme in Jackson Hole, a scenic valley nestled at the base of the Teton Mountain Range. Most Jackson Hole day trips venture into the National Elk Refuge next door and its neighboring national park, Grand Teton National Park, which is connected to Yellowstone National Park via the scenic John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Group and private wildlife safari tours are available year-round; if you want to see the parks’ “big five,” your best bet is to go with a guide. Whether you want to snowshoe in January, picnic in July, or go on a self-guided adventure, there’s a day trip (or two) for you.
