Our Top 10 Jackson Hole Spring & Summer Experiences
As the snow melts and the air warms, springtime is a great time for wildlife watching as our furry friends migrate from the valley floor up into the mountains. Bonus… there is a fraction of the crowds.
Summer visitors enjoy an incredible itinerary of outdoor adventures and bespoke western experiences.
Pedal the Pathways
Once you arrive, a great way to get introduced to Jackson Hole is a ride on our extensive network of paved pathways linking Teton Village, the Town of Jackson, and Grand Teton National Park. Bike rentals, including pedal assist e-bikes, are available at area cycle shops.
Inquire at the Front Desk about e-bike rentals for hotel guests.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
“Big Red” is back for the summer! The iconic Aerial Tram opens for summer sightseeing on May 21, then the resort’s Bike Park, Bridger Gondola, Ropes Course, Bungee Trampoline, and Climbing Wall open June 11.

Jackson Hole is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We enlist several highly experienced guides for wildlife tours in safari-style vehicles, offering rare insight into both the animals and the habitat that surrounds them.
Road Cycling
Jackson Hole offers paved roads, dirt roads and trails with incredible views. Some of our favorite rides are along National Elk Refuge Road or on the more than 60 miles of paved pathways that run throughout the valley. If you’re up for a challenge, you can try cycling over Teton Pass.
Hot Air Balloon Rides
Don’t just watch hot air balloons lift up among the mountain peaks – be in one. The whoosh of air as you go up and then the silence as you enjoy the landscape below… it’s a summer activity in Jackson Hole not to be missed.
Horseback Riding
Experience the romance of the Old West, go deep into the backcountry or high in the mountains on horseback. Let our concierge craft your perfect half- or full day horseback adventure in Jackson Hole.
Golf
It’s hard to keep your eye on the ball when you play golf in Jackson Hole. The Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis championship course, ranked #1 in Wyoming by Golf Digest, combines a cleverly designed layout with stunning views. The Teton Pines championship golf course was designed by Arnold Palmer and boasts beautiful water features and mountain views.
Rafting
Sure to become your favorite Jackson Hole summer activity, guided Snake River rafting tours are exhilarating and sure to get your adrenaline pumping. Scenic floats are a calmer option, offering moments to catch wildlife in their surroundings.
Fly Fishing
Jackson Hole is one of the premier fly-fishing destinations. The Snake River and other waterways offer access to native fish. Our select list of experienced guides not only know where the fish are, but they can teach you to catch (and release) them.
Kayaking
Choose between the Snake River canyon or the alpine lakes in Grand Teton National Park. Our team of adventure specialists can help you rent equipment, find a guide or point you in the right direction for solo adventure.
Paragliding
Let a trained instructor take you tandem gliding among the mountain peaks, with dips and swings that will make you want to experience it again and again.
