Things to do in Jackson Hole, Jackson Hole: The Best Other Outdoor Activities
During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice-skating. Summer in Jackson Hole is all about hiking, whitewater rafting, golfing and horseback riding. When you come down off the slopes, you can choose from recreation options like dog sled tours, sleigh rides and wildlife and nature tours. During the summer, you better get your energy level up because kayaking, hang gliding, hot air ballooning, mountain biking and stagecoach rides are just a few of the many options available. For climbers, hikers and nature lovers, the nearby Grand Teton National Park is an absolute nirvana. The towering mountains of the Teton Range stretch 40 miles, and include eight mountains over 12,000 feet. Keep in mind, too, that Yellowstone National Park’s South Entrance is only 90 minutes away, and another 45 minutes or so to reach Old Faithful. If you’re looking for some serious, fast-paced family fun in Jackson Hole, try the Alpine Slide, where you slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled. For a calmer experience, enjoy the Bridger Gondola, which takes tram riders from the Teton Village to heights of 10,000 feet. Golf enthusiasts have access to some great golf with tee opportunities at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design and Teton Pines Resort Golf Course, designed by Arnold Palmer.

1. The Hole Picture Photo Safaris
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 134 reviews
Daryl L. Hunter, author of the "Grand Teton Photography and Field Guide." offers landscape photography/wildlife safaris through the magnificent landscape of Grand Teton National Park and to the plethora of wildlife who make northwest Wyoming their home. The photography lesson is catered to individual ability and desire. For the novice, Daryl cuts to the chase with several shortcuts that slices through the obscure tech stuff to make the complex understandable; this evidenced in many of the reviews. Smart phone photographers are welcome. A natural history lesson is also a part of the trip as Daryl was an interpretive guide long before there was a market for photography tours. Jackson Hole is a lot more than beautiful photos; non-photographer guests find they have booked a private tour with a portrait photographer who can make them look great in a stunning landscape. Daryl also offers tours to other destinations both in the USA and abroad. Daryl’s reviews speak for themselves.

Our family of 6 (two adults, 4 kids) couldn't have been happier with this experience. We had perfect weather for a morning trip down the river. The scenery is fantastic and absolutely beautiful. The activity itself was extremely well run and efficient. They really know what they are doing. Our guide Jay was very knowledgeable and funny. My 6 and 8 year old peppered him with questions and he answered every single one. Just an all round, great experience with a great company.

With limited time in Grand Tetons we decided to spend extra money and walk some trails on top of Jackson Hole ski area with great views of Tetons and valley below. It was well worth it. Couple thousand difference in elevation gave as a different perspective. Very nice trails, not too long and not very steep.
