Top Jackson Hole Attractions & Museums

Hop on the Jackson Hole Aerial Tram and head up 4,139 vertical feet ( 1,261.5 meters) to the summit of Rendezvous Mountain for scenic views of the Tetons, hiking trails, and Corbet's Cabin—well-known for their delicious waffles. Make the most of access to the Bridger Gondola and the Sweetwater Gondola (included in your ticket during peak season), and don't forget to take a photo or two.

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.

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.

Experience the beauty of Grand Teton National Park while the sun is rising or setting on this private half-day tour. Alongside your guide, drive through the park and observe local wildlife at their most active. Spot moose, elk, bison, bears, bald eagles, and more while taking in the rugged mountain landscapes. Note that National Park Entrance Fees vary: $20 for US residents and $100 for non-US residents.

When visiting Jackson Hole, experience an old-fashioned adventure with a dog sledding tour along the Buffalo Fork River, protected land with sweeping views of the river valley and Grand Tetons. Stay warm inside a sled bag as a team of highly trained sled dogs guided by a professional musher pulls you safely along pristine, snow-covered tracks.
