Hiking
Jackson Hole and surrounding areas offer some amazing hikes but here are a few favorites:
For family friendly hikes in Teton National Park, check out: (http://www.tetonhikingtrails.com/grand-teton-best-easy-hikes.htm)
Jenny Lake: Great for the entire family. You can take a boat across Jenny Lake and then take a short hike up to Hidden Falls. For a longer adventure, head up to Inspiration Point
String Lake: a 4-mile Loop around Jenny Lake. If you’re looking for a hike that offers great scenery, but isn’t physically demanding, the loop around String Lake is the perfect choice. Great for paddle boards and kayaks too.
For hiking in town: (https://friendsofpathways.org/our-trails-and-paths/cache-creek/)
Jackson Hole Resort Summit Climb- a great way to spend 3-4 hours climbing to the top of the Tram. A decent level of fitness is recommended, as is a pack filled with plenty of water, snacks, and a couple of extra layers, and a bear bell and bear spray (available at the Lodge). Classic Jackson Hole hikes can be found here.
Check the internet for great advice on hikes, including this site for the Top 11 and all hikes, and their level of difficulty can be found here.
