Top Jackson Attractions & Museums

Maximize your wildlife-spotting opportunities by getting off the road and onto the water on this 13-mile float trip down Jackson’s serene Snake River. Glide through the Snake River Range and Gros Ventre Range with views of the snow-capped Tetons. Look out for bald eagles, ospreys, beavers, river otters, and maybe even moose and elk, while your guide introduces the area’s ecology and geology. Blankets are provided for cooler days and times.

Explore Bridger-Teton National Forest on a horseback-riding tour from Moran, about 35 miles (56 km) from Jackson. Take in views of the Teton Range and Grand Teton National Park as you ride up into groves of Aspen trees. Choose from 2- or 4-hour rides, or enjoy dinner rides through the picturesque forest led by experienced guides.

The Snake River is an ideal location to see some of Wyoming’s beautiful flora and fauna—especially bald eagles, ospreys, and pelicans—near Grand Teton National Park. Rather than rush down the river on a whitewater or kayaking trip, float down a scenic 13-mile (21 kilometers) stretch of the river on an easygoing raft. Plus, get round-trip transportation from the outfitter's office in Jackson.

Head to Yellowstone National Park on a day trip from Jackson Hole for the chance to see the highlights of one of the most popular parks in the United States. With a guide, you'll explore the lower loop of the park to see attractions such as Yellowstone Lake, Old Faithful, Fountain Paint Pots, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, plus check out a few off-the-beaten-path locations. Lunch is included. This tour operator is an authorized permittee of the National Park Service.
