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.

This 23-mile scenic ride offers wide jeep trails past a beautiful canopy of conifers to high alpine meadows.
I don’t know where they got 23 miles for the loop; I found it to be 9.5 miles/15.3 km from Cache Creek Trailhead to Game Creek TH. Of course, one can go further up Cache but that’s not the loop. This trail offers outstanding and easy access to the national forest from Jackson. I fondly remember my first hikes up here in 1980 before there were the myriad of side trails enjoyed now. It is a refreshing place in which to connect with nature and fine tune ones fitness.

About 12 miles from the heart of Jackson, this trail is not as strenuous as some but offers a spectacular view of the Grand Tetons and the occasional antelope.
Definitely worth the drive out there! Interesting to read of the Mormon settlement and see the barn. Great pic opportunity!
