Just on the edge of town, Snow King Resort is a mere 10 miles from the Jackson Hole Airport and offers families a pleasant, relaxing vacation experience with both day and night skiing and riding on 31 alpine trails and 30 km for cross-country skiing. A 204 room full service, year-round hotel at the base serves as an anchor for the resort. About a 45-minute scenic drive north out of the town of Jackson Hole and 12 miles east of Driggs, Idaho lies Grand Targhee, a 2,200 vertical area, which typically receives more than 500 inches of delightfully dry powder snow each season. It's a bit off the beaten tourist track but that's part of the charm, one that becomes priceless if you happen to get socked in during a heavy powder dump and find you suddenly have this mountain playground to yourself. Many choose to stay in the lively town of Jackson with its cowboy flair and abundant tourist services, or closer to the on-mountain action at Teton Village. In July and August the Grand Teton Music Festival brings a potpourri of talented artists to town to complement the cool mountain air and refreshing waters of the Snake River. For the adventurous, there is Heli-Skiing; cutting through acres of ungroomed powder is the ultimate rush for the advanced skier and rider. And as you might imagine the sightseeing is unparalleled from wildlife including Buffalo, Elk, and Eagles to name a few to one-of-a-kind mountains that rise nearly 13,772 feet straight from the valleys’ floor.
In the summer, a powerful magnet
which draws visitors from throughout the world to Jackson is the rugged
scenery of the Sawtooth vistas of the Teton Mountains. Climbers, hikers,
mountain bikers, paddlers, World-class fishing enthusiast, white water
rafters, and RV travelers alike all enjoy the nearby Yellowstone and
Grand Teton National Parks. In the summer months, Jackson Hole Mountain
Resort 's aerial tramway takes sightseers of all ages and physical conditioning
to the mountaintop and returns them safely to the base.
