Things To Do
Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park boasts some of the most dramatic scenery in the country. It lies just south of Yellowstone National Park. Here is a great article with a few suggested things to do in the park: https://traveldaze.co/2017/05/22/things-to-do-in-grand-teton-national-park/
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone became the worlds first national park in 1872. It is about an hour and a half away from Jackson (just on the other side of Grand Teton National Park). It sits atop a volcanic hot spot with many geysers and hot springs as well as an abundance of wildlife. We highly recommend checking out this park if you've got time.
Antelope Flats Road
This is the best place to see wild, free range Bison herds in Grand Teton National Park. It also has amazing views and the two famous Moulton Barns. It's not a heavily advertised road, just a small brown sign off the main road going into Jackson.
Jackson Hole Aerial Tram and Gondola Rides
In 12 minutes, the tram takes you to the summit of Rendezvous mountain. On a clear day, the tram affords views of the Gros Ventre Range, Snake River Valley, Grand Teton National Park, and the summit of Grand Teton (the highest peak in the Teton range) and the expanse of the Jackson Hole Valley.
