SUMMER
Yellowstone National Park
The World's First National Park On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Access to Yellowstone National Park varies from year to year, depending on seasonal conditions. Typically, the West Entrance, the entrance closest to Teton Valley, is open from early-May to late-October. In the winter, the only way you can access Yellowstone is by booking a professional snowmobile or snowcoach tour. As conditions are subject to change, we strongly recommend checking the National Parks Service website for up-to-date information before planning your visit to Yellowstone.
Float the Teton River
One favorite local activity is floating the Teton River.
The Teton River runs south to north through the valley, starting near the town of Driggs. This stretch of the Teton River is a slow, placid body of water that is ideal for floating, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), and kayaking. Gaze up at Grand Teton while casually paddling this gorgeous stretch of water, which meanders its way through Teton Valley—you might even spot a moose!

From the east shore, visitors have views of Teewinot Mountain, Mount St. John, and into Cascade Canyon. From the west shore, visitors can look back across the lake towards the valley of Jackson Hole. Several popular trails leave from Jenny Lake. Hikers can loop the lake, visit Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point, or travel into the backcountry via Cascade Canyon.

Visitors have many options in how to explore Jenny Lake: hike a trail, take a boat ride, hang out by the lakeshore, or stop by the visitor center.
