The 10 Best Hiking Trails in Jackson Hole, Jackson Hole
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.

The History Trail is located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest! This forest consists of 3.4 million acres, making it the third largest National Forest outside Alaska. Before the U.S. Forest Service built Old Pass Road in 1913, this is approximately the route wagons and freight sleighs took over Teton Pass. Our hike took us 4 miles, downhill, no problem. We met at the bottom of the pass, which connects Wilson, Wyoming to Victor, Idaho and carpooled up to the top of the pass, which sits at 8425 feet of altitude. The hike down was about a 2000 ft. difference, through forest and amazing wildflowers. There were so many plants and wild flowers; at times they were as tall as me and if someone wasn’t leading the hike, I easily could have lost the trail! I have never hiked through a forest like this, along a hard running stream. Some of the flowers I saw and learned about were, Columbine, Indian Paintbrush, Monkshood, Cow Parsnip, Wild Carrot, Delphinium and the poisonous Red Baneberry plant which was used to make poisonous arrows. I also saw stands of Aspen, one of my favorite trees. At one stream crossing that was pretty big, we stopped to see how we were going to cross and when we looked up, there was a huge moose along with her baby staring at us on the other side of the stream, so cute, but the momma was so big, almost the size of a horse! The momma moose almost had her head cocked as if to say “what are you doing here and you better not come any closer!” Moose can be very dangerous, especially if they are protecting their babies. It was getting dark, and they were right on the trail across the river. I wasn’t sure how long we were going to have to wait there, but she soon moved down and off the trail. The hike down took us almost three hours. It was a great hike, one I will not soon forget and a great way to begin my hiking experiences here in Wyoming ????

Beautiful views. We went from Jackson where we were vacationing through this pass on the way to visit Idaho just for the day. Driving up the mountain and back down again showcased such great mountain views.

We were driving by on the highway and saw horses in the field and a little pullout, so we thought we'd stop and look at the horses a while and realized that we could drive back to a parking area and see a historic cabin and walk a little trail to the field. I think partly because of the horses (we love animals) and the gorgeous setting, this is actually my favorite place that we stopped in the Grand Tetons area. It is not very busy and I felt like it was just me and my family on a mountain ranch. Really nice place. I would spend lots of time here if it weren't so far from home for me.
