See hiking recommendations below. You can also rent bikes (Jackson has amazing bike paths), fish and/or raft on the Snake River, or go climbing. There's outdoor adventure for all!
Grand Teton National Park
@katherineferguson
If you're going to Jackson Hole, you are likely spending some time in Grand Teton. This park has lakes, rivers, plenty of trails, and beautiful wildlife. Don't forget your bear spray!

Phelps Lake Loop Trail
@katherineferguson
My favorite lake hike in GTNP! This is a great hike for those adjusting to the elevation. The trail circumnavigates Phelps Lake and has little elevation change. Take a dip in the lake after your hike to cool off!

Teton Crest Trail
@katherineferguson
Hands down the best trail if you're looking for a 2-3 night backpacking trip in the Tetons. It's about 40 miles total but you can start at different points in the trail to cut off a few miles.

Cascade Canyon
@katherineferguson
Head across Jenny Lake to inspiration point and keep walking down this trail through Cascade Canyon. Once you get up to Inspiration Point, the trail is relatively flat and extremely scenic.

Often traveling with my backpack and a pocket full of snacks, dabbling in budget and luxury travel. I'm always looking to discover hidden gems in new places and dive into local culture. Though most my days are spent on a bike, paddling a river or hiking through the forest, I love a relaxing beach day soaking in the sun and sangria. I call Jackson Hole, WY home but spend any free time I have exploring new places with friends, family, or solo. I'm a certified travel advisor so when you book hotels, expeditions, etc. with me, expect perks like upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and food and beverage credits. I'm here to plan your next girls trip, your honeymoon, a solo trip and everything in between. Let's adventure together!
