Went on this trip with my teen daughter and another family we were vacationing with. The views are unbeatable. The trip is relaxing and our guide was very informative about the wildlife and the area history. Took a ton of photos. Highly recommend.
2. Grand Teton
Overall Ratings
5 based on 2 reviews
Tallest mountain in the Grand Teton Range.
Reviewed By XinnieY - Chicago, Illinois
If you're around the area or visiting Yellowstone National Park, you should definitely include Grand Teton in your itinerary. If you are really short on time, 4-6 hours is a good amount of time to check out most of the highlights of this park. Definitely do the 42 mile scenic loop drive. Every turnout is a picturesque view, no kidding. Such a gorgeous park. If you're tent camping, it still gets cold at night in the summer season so make sure you bring warm clothes. Bear spray is also recommended even though we didn't actually see one throughout the 5 days in Yellowstone and Teton. Better be safe than sorry!
3. Jackson Hole Aerial Tram
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
Reviewed By ColumbusJewel - Columbus, Ohio
Just returned from our trip to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. We took the tram to the top of Rendezvous Bowl. The ticket price was included in our ski pass, so no additional cost if you are skiing or boarding. The runs at the top are for experts only. All black or double black at the very top. There are a few blue runs, but only reachable from a black or double blacks. They do warn everyone that this particular mountain peak is for experts only. If you are not an expert skier they advise you to ride the tram back down. The line moves pretty quickly as it accommodates 100 people and their skis or snowboards. It is however a very tight squeeze. Everyone is packed in shoulder to shoulder. Definitely not for those that are claustrophobic. Once the doors shut, you really can’t move too much and you become close friends with those that were strangers minutes earlier. Unless you are standing near the windows you can’t really see anything. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the top. We rode it twice and the second time we were lucky enough to be near the window. There was good visibility that day and took in some great views of the mountain.
4. Jenny Lake
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 538 reviews
Located in the Grand Teton National Park, this lake sits at the base of the Teton Range and is best known for its brilliantly clear water.
Reviewed By Gryfudd - North Carolina Mountains, North Carolina
The Jenny Lake VC is under reconstruction so it only has a gift shop and information counter in a trailer - but there’s a nearby gift shop and convenience store run by a concessionaire. One of the curious things about multiple visitor centers (or even concessionaire gift shops) inside one national park - they often sell different things. We like to collect embroidered patches from each NPS unit we visit and make sure to go to each gift shop and visitor's center to find the ones we like best. Ditto books, ornaments, etc. Don't miss Jenny Lake just because it's temporary and small. But the parking is tight because of construction. The earlier you arrive the better, but you can still find a spot if you cruise around.
5. Chapel of the Transfiguration
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 240 reviews
This small church was built in 1925 and has a great view of the Tetons.
Reviewed By Gryfudd - North Carolina Mountains, North Carolina
The Chapel of the Transfiguration still holds Episcopalian services on Sunday (as well as weddings). It is part of the Menor's Ferry Historical District - land was donated for the chapel by long time settler and park proponent Maude Noble in the 1920s. The chapel was built for settlers and for those visiting dude ranches in the area. It's log construction is well kept and you can ring the bell at the gate if you like.

This mountain is an amazing place to ski or snowboard. The options are endless, you can do the same run several times and never follow the same lines. The mountain staff a very helpful and lift lines are kept to a minimum, with well organised occupancy of all lifts.
This resort has some of the best backcountry skiing/snowboarding you can find, without the need to hike for hours.
Love this resort and the town still keeps its charm

We took this road and enjoyed the scenery. Into the drive down this road, we came across a large group of people we scopes and long lens on cameras...they were looking at a mother bear and two cubs in a tree. We stopped and watched, eventually seeing the mother bear come down followed by here cubs. They paused and waddled off up the hill....was very interesting and exciting.
9. Cascade Canyon Trail

This uphill trail follows Cascade Creek for 4.5 miles and reaches Hidden Falls.
Reviewed By beaner1138 - Madison, Wisconsin
Entry into the Cascade Canyon is preceded by a one-mile steep walk along a well-maintained trail, but upon leveling in the high canyon the leg muscle burns are quickly forgotten as one experiences the amazing scenes and sounds. The landscape and water are simply spectacular, and reminiscent of the Swiss Alps in grandeur. Don't miss this trail.

The highlight of our week long vacation in Jackson Hole was a guided tour of Yellowstone Park arranged by Wild Things of Wyoming.
Our guide,Colin Boeh was simply superb beyond words.He was passionate about his job and was a walking and talking encyclopedia of knowledge from start to finish.He made us feel as if we had been friends for a lifetime and also had a great sense of humor.
We were picked up at our hotel at 7:00 am and greeted with some of the best coffee that Colin brewed himself that was also the best we had during our stay and he also offered healthy breakfast options.
Although the weather was raining and snowy most all of our tour and we had second thoughts about even going,Colin had such an upbeat personality and knowlege about the park and local folklore that we never had a dull minute.
He knew about park locations off the beaten tourist track and where to find the animals and unusual sightings.
We saw,bear,bear cubs,moose,Elk,Coyotes,Bald Eagles, mule deer,and visited Tall Falls,Old Faithful,many geysers,Prismatic lake and so much more.I spoke with folks who toured with other guides and companies and they did not see many of the animals and sightings we saw.
The tour included a nice lunch,refreshments whenever you wanted and quite simply the best guide experience I have had in many years.
You should not miss an opportunity to book a guided trip through the parks with this company and I promise that it is well worth the money. You will indeed be purchasing some of the best memories imaginable and that is what travel is all about.
Very highly recommended !!!
