Caverns & Caves
Landmark spot boasts tours in underground lava caves with ice formations, plus a museum & gift shop.
Wow…just, wow! First time seeing a structure like this. And the fact that it’s not man made makes it even more spectacular! It was certainly chilly once you descend into the cave, make sure to bring a jacket, but absolutely worth it! The tour guide was wonderful, knew so much history about the cave and surrounding area. We enjoyed visiting the museum on site. After the tour we partook in a couple of activities. This included smashing geodes and using the sluice. Low key and fun. Recommend for families!

Unique experience . This is privately owned but still worth the trip.
there is a little bit of a hike over lava rock to the opening, Inside temperature when I visited was about 24 degrees (F). Our guide was named Mya. She did a great job and was well informed. Part way through the tour, she sang a song for us to illustrate the acoustics in the cave, She did a great job!

They have guided tours on the hour, with the last tour of the day at 4pm. The tour takes 45 minutes. The tour guide is informative and friendly and willing to answer questions. The museum is small and has some nice artifacts on display. This Ice Cave is a phenomena and is said to be one of two known ice caves. It has been restored to its original condition, which was to naturally form and keep ice inside of it. There is an amazing natural arch inside and it is like a big cavern inside. They have installed wooden boardwalks to make it easier to navigate walking inside. It is about 28 degrees inside the cave and there is ice year round. There is a gift shop too.

Such a fun stop on our adventures today! Right off the highway so very convenient. Price was a little high in my opinion but oh well. The gift shop was fun and the kids loved everything. Walking down the cave is kind of hard with "little" kids. My 4 year old was struggling and we had a large group so we kind of felt rushed. The rails in the cave seem alittle dangerous for little ones. I feel like they need to add another piece of wood to make sure no one falls off (little kids).. Feeling rushed and with kids is kind of hard. I would recommend still and really had a good time. It was COLD but I loved it. If you're frozen easily then bring a jacket.

Excellent tour of the ice cave and the guide gave an excellent history of the cave as well. Bring a light jacket and be prepared for uneven surfaces and walking in dim light. We've been twice and highly recommend. The adults and teens in our group all really enjoyed it.

Oh this has been on my bucket list for awhile. Finally made it there. I wasn't disappointed it was amazing to see it all to take in what was really quite amazing. The history wow I am in awe of the terrain down there but now I have a way better understanding of it all. I was all alone on my tour which I think was pretty fun. The girl that did my tour was very knowledgeable I appreciated her so much she was fun funny and I loved it. It was a special week for me because I had just met my sister for the first time and we went together but she couldn't do the tour. All in all I had fun so glad I went. Ty ice cave people
Debbie Mitchell — Google review
Our tour guide, Abby, was so sweet and did such a great job teaching us new facts about the Shoshone Ice Cave, the people who lived there and the different layers of lava at the cave entrance! The gift shop and museum is really nice too! Definitely worth the trip especially for only $12! The walk is as good as going down into a cave can be so people with bad knees might have some trouble and need to consider that before making the trip. Definitely bring a light jacket! 10/10 guys! Thank you!
Heather Sharp — Google review
Cool geological feature with interesting history. Cool temps year round in the cave - a light jacket is advisable . Tour guides were friendly and on script but willing to answer questions. Steps a little unstable. The cave is not wheelchair accessible. Portable outhouses in the parking lot. Nice little gift shop with drinks and ice cream. Worth the drive.
Ben Johnson — Google review
Kinda cool place. Don't expect to learn much about why the cave is cold or any real history about the area or native Americans.
The ice cave itself is 'cool' but it's an hour long tour that should take about 20 minutes in total. I'd suggest visiting the other cave with the museum that was closer to Shoshone.
Steven Warren — Google review
Interesting tour that is offered on the hour. It gets pretty cold and dark down there in the cave so bring a coat! Clean porta potties on site. Seasonal adventure
Mona — Google review
Ice spot to visit while in the area. Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable.
A little dark inside (perhaps a few more strategically placed LEDs)...
Also, they should let visitors know to reconsider their visit if they intend to go spelunking at Craters of the Moon -
"clothing or any other item that has been in any underground space such as another cave or mine cannot be worn into the caves at Craters of the Moon..."

Ya good tour. Feels like it goes by way faster than 40 minutes. It’s cool feeling the anxiety grow before you head into the cave but it opens up pretty wide. Fun experience. I saw a little girl hike it in some slides so it’s a pretty easy hike.

Went here with some friends as a fun day trip. The caves are so cool and the tour is engaging and fun. Their little shop is a delight and I even bought some trinkets for my family. If you're looking for a fun little trip to do with your friends or family then I highly recommend it!

Jeff was awesome and the experience was well worth it! If you are looking at the long range rifle package he is the guy to see. This was hands down amazing and my dad and I learned a lot coming from a pro. You work as a team. I would definitely suggest this if you are interested in learning. Worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and book it!
Chris Watson — Google review
Thanks for the excellent instruction today. We learned a lot and had a good time. We'll definitely meetup again soon when we're back in town. You're a great teacher!!
Daniel Vellotti — Google review
I found Jeff through Google as one of the best experiences in Idaho, and I wholeheartedly agree with the prior reviews. I took my father and we had a great time- and most importantly, had the benefit of an amazing instructor that kept us novices safe.
Christine Cummings — Google review
Jeff was a patient and amazing teacher. We learned a lot from Jeff.
John Seidel — Google review
I booked a two-hour private lesson with a variety handguns, and it was worth every penny! Jeff is a fantastic teacher, like getting a lesson from your dad, except that he's much nicer and more professional than your dad would be. I hope I'll have time to return for additional training, especially an introduction to rifles!
Emily Riley — Google review
Very thorough 1-on-1 instruction of long range shooting fundamentals. Prepared with the necessary tools, Jeff assisted with proper scope adjustment for optimal eye relief before sending rounds down range. From there, he explained proper body-to-rifle alignment, hand/posture mechanics, and breathing techniques.
After zeroing at 100yrds, we continued drills to 300, 550, and finally to 750 yards. This was a personal first shooting past 250 yards and tremendously rewarding. Prepared with top-grade spotting scope and Kestrel meter, Jeff gave very clear target information allowing me to focus intently on targets through my scope. This provided the ideal environment for learning a reasonably complex task, especially with 10-20mph crosswinds.
Thanks again, Jeff for the excellent instruction and enabling a personal shooting sports milestone.
Guillaume Choi — Google review
I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff for a Fun Shoot this summer, where he guided me through the use of multiple cool weapons such as the AK47, AR15, and Colt 45 Cattleman’s Revolver. It was not only a great time but I also learned a ton from Jeff about the weapons themselves and optimal procedure for using each one. Great location too. Highly recommend this experience to anyone!
David Clau — Google review
Took a class from Jeff while on vacation and he did an excellent job. He does NOT have a cookie cutter class for everybody and it is customized to the needs of the people he is training. His instruction was clear and extremely helpful. My only regret was not having more time to spend with him! If you're thinking about taking a class from Jeff definitely do it!
Jack Lucero — Google review
Our family of 4 booked a "Fun Shoot" package with Jeff the owner. Only one person in our group had any firearm experience. We had a great time shooting 22's then moving to larger caliber guns. Very good instruction, very safe and a fantastic range. This business operates out of The Hurting Center located in North Hailey. We booked a day in advance and we all agreed this was the highlight of our visiy to Sun Valley. Thanks Jeff for a super fun time!
Suzanne McCartney — Google review
Took the whole family over to have a team pistol class with Jeff. Can't recommend him enough. In under an hour, Jeff had my sister (previously not a gun fan) drilling 9/10 on the plate racks at 15 yards. We all ended up going back three times, with my brother and I learning some tactical & wounded wing drills. We will for sure be going back during the ski season.
Out of all the campgrounds I've stayed at, including other KOAs, this is by far my favorite! The park is very well maintained, clean bathrooms. The staff are amazing people that spoil their guests! Waffles & coffee in the morning, ice cream in the evening, a pool to cool off, plenty of shade. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra day. I highly recommend this park!!
Tamra Harrington — Google review
First experience ever at a KOA. Staff was amazing and very accommodating. Kid friendly. Pet friendly. Ice cream socials at 5 p.m. and waffles at 9 a.m. We came for the weekend to visit Craters of the Moon and camped here. 20 minute drive from craters of the moon.
Timothy Clark — Google review
I can laugh now, but as we pulled in - I wanted to turn around and leave :) Not because of anything other than - I had no idea that were truly here only due to the Craters of the Moon.
When booking, I thought there would be more to do in the area - but if you're coming here, you are either here for a Family Reunion, or to see Craters of the Moon. That is what's on the map for any traveler passing through.
Staff was insanely kind. Super nice. We pulled in and ran into an issue with hookups (provided, but they were at the end of the campsite vs. in the middle and our hoses wouldn't reach), they were able to help us immediately (Along with the kind gentleman who's site we temporarily stole).
The campground offers an ice cream social daily. Good cause, good ice cream and dirt cheap. Do it. They also offer waffles (or was it pancakes?) on the weekend. They were super tasty and fit the kids requests!
Playground was sub-par. Perfect if you've got really little kids (2-4 y/o). Pool was okay, nothing special - but it was water and our kids also loved it.
Erika H. — Google review
Great experience here. Super helpful and friendly staff, clean grounds and buildings. You can tell they take pride in their establishment. We really enjoyed the pool, playground, ice cream social and waffles in the morning. Very happy with everything here, would stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Alan is very nice and accommodating! As a solo female traveler (coming from Kentucky) I am terrible at planning ahead as to which KOA I happen to stay at that night. I usually just pick whichever is closest to me. BUT I am very pleased and honored to have met Alan! It just so happens that it was going to be a cold night as I am car camping with my pets out of my SUV. Alan said “No it’s too cold for you out there.” He upgraded me without any additional cost to a kabin site; it is astonishing to see this kind of hospitality without expecting anything in return. If you so happen to be in the area, Barbara and Alan do an amazing job of maintaining the property as well as being amazing hosts!

if you drive an Electric vehicle don't bother coming here, they had to make an exception for us to stay one night and use the RV sites with 50AMP circuit. Never had problems charging at any other camp site with hookup. They said it is because charging the car will trip the breaker (which we did not for that 1 night) - camp site had lots of open space but was put at the end of RV site with no protection and had to stake down our tent due to thunderstorm.

Friendly owners and staff. Newly remodeled and kept clean and fresh, I recommend this location for your next KOA camping experience. They have cute cabins for rent reasonably priced, an extensive selection of items to shop for in their store and lots if fun things to do while staying there.

I have stayed here twice visiting Craters of the Moon and IEL Museum EBR-1. RV sites are level grass and gravel with good hookups. WiFi was a bit spotty but there was good cell reception. I enjoyed the morning waffle. Very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Was a good spot to stop for a night! Didn’t have any issues with noise complaints like some reviews previously posted. Their quiet hours are from 10pm-8am. Customer service was great! Was able to go swimming and use their laundry services with a breeze. Highly recommend!
Also if you are needing to do laundry, I highly suggest going to this location and not the supposed laundromat that’s a few miles away. They have ice cream social which is great for those with kids and it’s only a $1. They also have free breakfast (big and thick waffles) in the mornings. They also have hot foods that you can order and have it delivered to your site!
Our experience was great— we are pretty easy going people from Oklahoma.

Very disappointed. I specifically chose this RV park so the kids could swim. The pool is green and freezing cold. I’m not sure when the pictures were taken but the park does not look like this now. no grass, the dog park is weeds. The bathroom showers are small.. the woman’s bathroom one has no hot water and one is clogged so that leaves 1 shower. The good thing is The staff is very helpful and nice. They also have waffles and ice cream!
Jennifer Homer — Google review
Not up to the usual standards we find at a KOA. Really nice people working there. Pool small but refreshing. No lawn really, mostly weeds. Cute ice cream social almost every night. Didn't try the Cafe. Close to "The Pickle Place" Cafe which was awesome! About 40 minutes from Craters of the Moon park. Probably wouldn't stay here again. Grounds need to be upgraded.

I stayed in a cabin Mid June and it was exactly what I needed. I wasn't expecting to see the Tetons from the cabin but I was pleasantly surprised when I could. Highly recommend this KOA. Staff was exceptional. Cafe food was also great.
Morgan G. — Google review
Well I am done with KOA. Really nice people working there but pool looked like a green soup and we stopped there for the pool so the kids can have a little swim. Also, the campground (and the city) was under a boil water advisory, so not their fault but no water avail there to buy, had to go to the grocery and nothing is mentioned on the web site to be aware before you get there. No firewood available as well. Only good point, it's close to Craters of the Moon park and we decided to ditch the KOA to stay at Craters of the Moon campground instead ($15). At least, we had water there!
Patrick Tanguy — Google review
Excellent place! We stayed two nights in a tent with no issues. Bathrooms, showers and laundry room were clean. You can tell they cleaned them everyday. Everyone working there was friendly and the waffle chef (free waffles 9am) was humbling. Make sure you prepare for quick changing weather; it was 75 and calm then about 10 mins thunderstorms, 65 and winds maybe about 25 mph. And they have an ice cream social at 5. Best KOA yet!
Wow awesome!! So cool to see the world's last nuclear reactor!! Wow 👌 amazing!! So glad we now have solar energy and tesla to rid the world 🌎 of these terrible technologies

So glad that we stopped at this informative and educational historical site. It is the world's first nuclear power plant. Now decommissioned but fully restored as an educational museum. There was a guided tour and it too was excellent. Learned so many things on the tour and the site. Highly recommended for adults and kids alike. This is definitely a must see. There is no cost for admission.

A blast to the sixties, the first atomic reactor. Good times and really enjoyed. Quick visit to see some cool historic stuff.
Joe Anderson — Google review
Absolutely educational and fun for all ages. The tours were a bit long drawn but very informative. They had great displays and some hands on displays for kids. There was a movie to explain the physics and history of the place. The place needs some updating but a absolute must visit if you have a couple of hours to spare.

This is a neat place. I will preface this with this: I enjoyed this because I understand at a high level what this facility does. That being said, my kids would have been bored bored bored bored here.
When we were here there were only 2 people total working here (that I was aware of/that I saw). The guided tours seemed to be pretty sporadic and happened when guests were there. We ended up going on a self guided tour because the next tour was some 30+ minutes away. Being out in the middle of no where we didn’t really want to wait.
The facility was clean and the hand writing on the chalk boards was impeccable. The demos were pretty neat to look at. They have done a good job preserving the facility and keeping a lot of the equipment intact and really cool to be able to get that close to a nuclear reactor.
Overall, it was a good one time visit. I don’t think I would ever need to return for a second visit, but if you like history and are nearby it would be something neat to stop by.

Very interesting museum but needs a little updating. The self-tour was pretty straightforward. Bathrooms clean. Lots of free parking and the workers were friendly. Just an extraordinary find in the middle of nowhere.
Jill Sauls — Google review
A true part of history. The first ever electrical power generation from a nuclear reactor. A must see if you are in the area and interested in history in general or in nuclear power. The reactor itself is enlightening for how small it is and the nuclear powered jet engines outside are amazing in that their size seems at odds with flying an aircraft. Amazing engineering history here. Have been there twice with visitors. Is not super busy. Usually has few folks touring and 1 or 2 knowledgeable staff to ask question if you want. Can do a reasonable tour of this site and Craters of the Moon in the same day.

They close at 5 which means they start shutting down and turning off lights at 445. I was disappointed that we couldn't stay until 5. We got there at 430 thinking we had a half hour. It was very cool to learn and see. Worth a visit. We stopped after our visit to Craters of the Moon. My 15 minutes were action packed!

What an amazing place! We have lived here 15 years and never stopped in to tour this. It is a must for anyone passing through or have just never stopped by. It is free to tour. You can take a self guided tour or a guided tour. There are stairs to all 3 levels. Staff was very nice and helpful. Plenty of parking for vehicles and RVs.

Unbelievable place. I have been coming here since I was 3 years old. I've tried for 3 years to bring my boys here but it was closed cause of Covid. Thankfully it was open this year and my boys got to see a foundation of American history up close! Thank you so much for preserving this for future generations. When I was a kid you used to be able to move the mechanical hands but it was still cool to show my boys that I wasn't making up stories :). Stop by!!!
Exhibits on the history & cultivation of potatoes in a former train depot with a cafe & gift shop.
This museum is great. Very informative. They have videos that teach you things like how McDonalds makes their fries. Great collection of Mr Potato head toys and a wall of potato mashers. Definitely visit the cafe while you are there. We had the loaded baked potato, tots, hand cut fries with fry sauce and the best potato soup ever!! Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

You can either start at the cafe or the gift shop to enter the museum. There is a lot of parking and even multiple spots great for RVs.
We entered at the gift shop. It had shirts, shot glasses, cups, along with multiple other trinkets, and a penny squish machine. We got some postcards and shot glasses and they were put in a mesh potato sack bag and got a package of locally grown dehydrated mashed potatoes which was entertaining.
The cafe had baked potatoes with a variety of toppings, fries, tots, soup, and drinks. It smelled wonderful and we smelled potatoes for a while after.
And the museum had a lot of information on... Potatoes. Along with antique and ancestral potato shaped and used items, a video, toys, kitchen appliances, talking potatoes, farm equipment, VR experience on a tractor and watching them till and moves potatoes, and a play area with Mr potato head.
The reason for 4 stars... I though it was entertaining and fun but my husband found it less entertaining and said he probably wouldn't pick to go again. He was expecting real potatoes or fake planter boxes to show how more home grown ones are done too apparently.

We stopped at the potato museum in Blackfoot, Idaho. This is a simple, smaller, low tech museum. It’s small town and charming, not big budget.
I’m surprised it’s not larger given the impact of potatoes on the state of Idaho.
Here’s what I recommend
1. Take photos of the giant potato in front of the building.
There’s a smart phone holder out front so you can take photos without someone holding the phone.
2. Visit the gift shop, pay for your tickets and enjoy the kitzch (spelling?).
From potato soap to quirky potato peelers, there are a lot of fun items. The t-shirts could be much more fun than they are.
3. Watch the talking potatoes in the basement that put on a little show.
4. Don’t miss the virtual reality experience.
My favorite was the virtual reality ride on a 🥔 harvester. There are just 2 headsets but worth the short ride.
5. Watch the the short film about McDonald’s french fries. And see the large potato chip.
6. Admire the potato masher display that’s artistic.
7. Go to the cafe and order a potato, fries or soup. Notice the potato print curtains.
Beast potato ever! You get it within 5 mins and it’s piping hot with the noise divine fluffy soft inside.
The potatoes are cooked at 400-500 degrees (there was some debate). Wrapped in foil. Cooked until soft and keep in a warmer at 140 degrees.
Russset narcoda is the kind of potato. Don’t poke holes in them.
We got a cupcake made with potatoes. Really good. I added sour cream, green onions, butter and tomatoes. So delicious!! And the waffle fries were incredible - fresh and hot. You can get ketchup and/or fry sauce.
It’s very affordable too. Both the admission ($6 for adults) and the cafe.
Take lots of photos.
Overall, this could have a photo backdrop with a large potato inside. Displays of largest record breaking potatos. Am interactive display. Better more recent videos about the process and better games. It could be in a larger space.
But it’s affordable and down home.
Also there’s a great candy shop across the street with excellent ice cream (bubble gum with gummy bears, for example).
Janet Thaeler — Google review
We had an excellent visit except when leaving the girl closing the museum was rude. As we were leaving the museum (through the gift shop). She told us ‘I’m locking up now’. It was uncomfortable - I tried to explain that we weren’t trying to enter the museum and that we were leaving after viewing.
There’s also a cafe here. I ordered some yummy fries and my partner ordered chili fries.
If it weren’t for the rude service when we were exiting I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you have an hour so spare. Also if you’re from out of state you get a free instant potato packet. If you have AAA or military ID they offer a small discount on admission.

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the Idaho Potato Museum. The building appears small; however, the museum is rather grand. Inside you'll find information starting from native America, ending in the modern day. They have paraphernalia of all kinds including farming, baking, alcohol, commercial, and toys. You can even see a potato signed by Al Gore!
They have two virtual reality headsets that allow you to see a potato harvest and computers with games. There is a small theater; however, I wasn't able to watch the show because the kiddos were happily taking me all over the museum .
There are public restrooms in the museum that are amazingly clean and smell that way too. Overall, a fascinating place and I'm happy to have gone.
There is a small gift shop with some fun items and the staff were friendly and personable. In a word, awesome.
Lastly, the potato bar is very yummy and reasonably priced. Try the fried potato dollars, absolutely fabulous.
We highly recommend a visit!

The evening was peaceful in the parking lot. The train came through at 4am. Four out of five of us in our party slept through the horn noise. The store had a great and unique selection. The museum was actually informative, interesting, and interactive. The adults learned a few things as did the kids. The cafe was delicious with great prices. We first thought this would be a tourist trap but quickly realized it was a delightful experience.

I had a lovely experience here on a random Friday afternoon. It was very interesting learning about potatoes. I was surprised on all there is to know about them. How they grow, harvest, transport, types, history, etc. At the end, they have a restaurant where you can dine in.
I had a very lovely baked potato for lunch and a huckleberry flavored soda crafted in Jackson Hole. I bought a really nice cotton T-shirt from their gift shop.

This place is SO COOL!!! We drove 12 hours and were not disappointed. There's actually a lot of hands-on things for all ages and the exhibits are informative. If you come here, you definitely should at least get fries from the cafe. They have a different garnish for their baked potatoes every day. We had sausage gravy during our visit to the museum. We came back the second day just to go to the cafe and got chili and cheese on a baked potato. I definitely recommend a visit here if you're anywhere near Idaho.

What a fun little museum. From the huge potato outside to the random facts you can review inside its a cute place to visit. They have a little souvenir shoo where you can find something fun as a keep sake. They also have a little Cafe to get yourself some delicious backed potatoes to end your visit. Take the kids in for a short stop to learn some history of the Idaho potato.
Awesome little stop. Excellent walking trails. Doesn’t take long to go the long route and read all the signs. I can dream of what lava flows would look like! So cool. Don’t litter people, I saw the bottles and trash in some cracks out there. Be better.

What a perfect diversion! These “south” trails are located at the rest stop. Clean bathroom, but some barriers to entry for wheelchair users. The path is paved, and provides some benches for those who need a break. A more ambulatory wheelchair user will be ok, but someone that requires help will definitely need it. The sign says the red loop is 45 minutes to transit but it’s not. Took me about 20. There are many nice things to see, and the interpretive signs are helpful. I also spied some great protected picnic tables. I visited during autumn after a rain in the morning, and it was such a nice little walk.

I recently had the pleasure of exploring the Hell's Half Acre trail and I must say, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. What made this hike particularly special was the fact that it was suitable for hikers of all ages and fitness levels. I embarked on this adventure with two toddlers and an 11-year-old, and we encountered no difficulties throughout the entire trip.
One of the standout features of the Hell's Half Acre trail is the paved path. This made the hike a breeze, as we didn't have to worry about rough terrain or tricky footing. The trail is well-maintained, with clear signs guiding us along the way. We also appreciated the presence of benches and picnic tables, providing us with opportunities to rest and enjoy a snack in the midst of our adventure.
The view along the trail is simply breathtaking. The volcanic rock formations in Idaho are unlike anything I've ever seen before. The unique geological features provided a fascinating backdrop to our hike, and we couldn't help but marvel at the natural beauty surrounding us.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Hell's Half Acre trail to anyone looking for a fun and family-friendly hiking adventure. The paved path, clear signage, and stunning volcanic rock formations make for a truly memorable experience. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just starting out, this trail has something for everyone. Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore this hidden gem in Idaho.

August 22, 2021. A nice surprise. I've driven by here from time to time during my life but for once, I pulled over. I went to the top of the building before taking the little hike. It's all sidewalk so I didn't even need to change shoes. The walk takes you to an upper level and all along the way there are interpretive signs; very nice ones at that. You can observe this very rough topography interspersed with some desert-like flora. There are significant cracks and holes in the earth. I did take pictures and made a video as well.

Hell’s Half Acre Trail is adjacent to the Rest Stop off the Southbound I-15. Pathway has informative markers about the areas volcanic past. Pathway leads to a gazebo where your can overlook the Pilot Buttes.

One of the nicest, cleanest rest stops I've visited. Interesting signage describes the geologic past of the region, with short trails. Dog park, nice bldg with restrooms and intensive signage as well. If you're traveling thru ID on I-15, it's worth a stop.

It's really cool to see the rock formations formed by the lava flows and there is a nice little observation deck with bathrooms and vending machines. There's also an easy trail to see more of the formations.

A welcoming break in the day. A challenging trail with strategically places benches. Nice morning workout
Expansive green space on the banks of the river, offering benches, sculptures & views of the falls.
So nice!!! Glad we stopped by on this beautiful spot on their city while on our way to Yellowstone..it was gloomy tho and the pic taken late Sept 2021, lots of restaurant and hotel around nice bike path too..

Beautiful scenic river walk. It was nice and breezy. There are electric scooters to rent but just be careful because you don't know how much you are really charged until you're done. Otherwise it is an amazing experience.

Wow!! What an amazing area. It is really something to see. How they have the Snake River spilling over into a variety of waterfalls. Just one of the neatest things I've seen on my travels. Great area to walk, eat, shop or just come to read a book. I even saw someone fishing. Just beautiful. I would say it's a must see.

Very nice park along Snake River and the water falls, that gave the town its current name. Prior to 1891, the town's name was Eagle Rock.
Parking is possible anywhere along the road parallel to the river. The park gives pedestrians the chance to walk a few steps, to look at and to listen to the roar of the water falls. Along the walkway are different benches in interesting and funny shapes.
My family and I really enjoyed the visit there.

A lovely place for a walk or run in Idaho Falls. The River a Walk provides just enough of a taste of the outdoors while still having quick access to food trucks, fine dining, bars, and coffee shops in the downtown area.
You can stop at one of the many fun artistic benches scattered along the walk as well as the War Memorial or some of the sculptures.
It’s also a love place to visit on Saturdays from May through October beginning at 9 am for the local farmers’ market.

We went to this place on the weekend morning and it wasn't crowded at all. Parking is easily available along the road. There is also one information center near that.

Best place to go for a walk though it does get dangerous at night though so make sure you either have a whistle or your SOS turned on to make sure emergency people and cops are alerted. I ended up meeting a man that got attacked near the green belt. He had cuts and bruises all over his body. It's not dangerous but just watch out for big groups of people or even in 2s or 3s. Stay safe if walking at night in the winter which is right now there is black ice on the side walk and on the walking strip even though Rick salt does get put down it can only do so much. To help. It can help just enough but with how cold it is its kinda useless. But still makes sense if they didn't put it down it probably be worse than what it is as of right now. In the summer it's gorgeous and in the falls it is extremely beautiful with the leaves falling and everything

A broad range of international animals on display, plus a petting zoo & bird aviary, spring to fall.
You can never go wrong with a guick trip to this zoo. My grandson loves it here and enjoys seeing all his "friends". We come here enough that he knows where all his favorites are. The animals are all well cared for and the enclosures are very natural looking. This year there are at least 3 new babies!

This is a great zoo! There are lots of animals to see and they are clearly well taken care of. I had a great time at zoo with my friends. It wasn’t too crazy expensive and it wasn’t crowded at all. We felt that we got our moneys worth for sure. It would be a great activity for families. I enjoy animals and so all the signs with the animal information was great. I thought some of the animals they had there were really cool.

This little zoo is fabulous. I was pleasantly surprised at the assortment of animals that this Zoo has. The way it is set up is perfect. On a hot day you are in the shade which was very nice. The landscaping was beautiful. My little family and I totally enjoyed every aspect of the zoo. The grounds were well maintained. If you haven't been, you should go. You won't be disappointed

I really enjoyed our experience at the Idaho falls zoo. I took my family of four and we got there early morning on a weekday. It was very beautiful and well put together. They had a wide assortment of different animals and some that are unique to this specific zoo. Our favorite parts were the African safari and the monkey house. The monkeys were extremely fun to watch, they were very active and funny to watch swing around. My only gripe was the fact that it was a field trip day for local schools. The zoo had booths set up where the kids can learn about different things in the ecosystem. The location of these booths could have been better to minimize the impact on the non-school going patrons. Also I felt like a lot of animals were off exhibit during our visit. They did have a small visitor center with a gift shop. But when I say small I mean small.

It is a pretty small zoo. But the price is very cheap and everyone that works there is very friendly. We are from alabama so it was cool seeing the different types of animal they have there that we don’t have at the zoos around us. I would say it’s definitely worth a trip if you have a couple hours you want to burn.

This place was a lot bigger than I expected and it was really well kept. Normally zoo's stink but I didn't smell anything until I hit the zebras! Very impressed with their collection of animals, cleanliness and informative signs! First time my daughter got to see any animals and we both had a blast! From seeing our favorite animals (flamingos and donkeys), learning about new animals and feeding goats- it was the perfect way to spend family time! Thank you so much guys!

This zoo is the perfect size. Cost is reasonable. Cart rental(recommended for toddlers ) was $5. I loved that they give you a token to pick which animal you would like the conservation money to go to. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. It’s a great place for a family to spend the day. My kids loved the penguins, primates, and big cats enclosures.

This is a fun zoo to visit. It's amazing what you'll experience when the animals are actually active and playing. Also, there is a peacock that roams free among us, doing its "call of the wild" as it wanders. If you do visit this zoo, I'm posting my pictures if you ever want to go on a scavenger hunt and find the objects in my pictures.

I have been to see several zoos across the country. This one was not a favorite. The penguin enclosure has too many animals for the very small enclosure. The pool was extremely mucky and the stench burned our noses. Very strong ammonia smell.
They have quite a few animals for this small acreage of zoo, including several large cats. Lions, snow leopards, then smaller cats as well. Bored, Many are pacing in their very small enclosures.
The flamingos are also in a small pen and again it smells strongly of ammonia.
Established in 2003, this museum features exhibits on science & regional history, plus archives.
Went for the last day of the BodyWorlds: Animal Inside Out exhibit. It was way cool. After going through that exhibit, my boyfriend and I walked through the rest of the museum. I enjoyed it. I would definitely go back for future exhibits.

What a true treat stopping at this museum was. I learned so much about the state of Idaho, from the native American Indian tribes to the farming history to the types of gems that can be found in the state, etc. The stuffed animals on display were fascinating, as were the storefront displays with information about certain items. I could tell that whoever contributed to putting the displays together cared a great deal about what he/she was doing. The native American Indian artifacts were incredible! I enjoyed seeing so much handcrafted materials as well as the artifacts of people who lived on the homesteads in the state in the past. Learning about some of the plants that grow in the area peaked my interest, and there was a great description of the sagebrush that I came across. Everything was intriguing at the Museum of Idaho. It was a trip well worth it, in my opinion and I would go back again. There's quite a bit to see.

I suggest the museum to anyone visiting, passing through, looking to kill time, or even just the joy of museums! They have a great section (large) about Idaho falls, filled with so much information, and the staff is always friendly.

A really nice museum with different sections.
Depends on your pace, checking everything should take about 1-2 hours.
There are some nice spots for kids to play and learn.
Entrance for non-Idaho residents is $14, a bit expensive in comparison with some other similar museum I visited in US, but it's not terrible.
Parking is behind the building and it is quite small, partially shared with church next to the museum, but it's free.

Bear World is a wildlife park in Rexburg, Idaho, with opportunities to see bears in their natural habitat. The park features a drive-thru facility as well as petting zoo and kid's rides.
It's a neat place, most of the bears here are former actor/performance animals, or descendants of said bears, so they cannot be in the wild. Place offers a few different ways to see them as well. (Drive thru the park in your own vehicle, or use their truck to toss them food, as well as a small petting zoo for the kids.)

Wow! Was this place cool or what. We went during the middle of the week and experienced great joy. It was not crowded and they allow you to go through unlimited times. We went through roughly eight times watching all of the bears and different animals. To be precise there are buffalo, whitetail deer, albino elk, elk, swan, grizzly bears, black bears, and moose. And that's just for the section of where you're driving. During our visit there were a lot of bears playing around. They also have a little section that you can go to and actually pet some animals. The animals that you're able to pet are goats, dear, different kinds of birds, and pigs. You can also feed bears during the season. They have an amazing little enclosure for Cubs. Overall the experience was incredible. I'm definitely going here again.

I personally like Bear World better than Yellowstone. I love to ride around and see the animals. The bears are so cute, but the cubs are the cutest!!! You can pay to.feed them.
You pay right as you arrive and then you can choose to drive your own car or you can pay to ride in their truck and you're also able to.feed the bears. We did that the first time.
The gift shop and kid park area are fun too. And then you can also choose to go to the back part and see more animals. You can also feed the ducks and fish. It is guaranteed fun time for everyone!

Outstanding well kept secret we've told everybody about! 👏 For the most part, the staff is friendly! All around are clean facilities, structures, and habitats for the various animals! All the animals appeared to be well fed and cared for! Feeding the "baby bears" was definitely the highlight of the trip for us! BUT YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE! Very seldom can you show up and expect to feed the bears! The food was decent, and as you would expect, overpriced beyond belief! The "merchandise shop," on the other hand, was reasonably priced and quite affordable!

The cost of the adventure was $25. It was worth every penny. It is especially wonderful for children I cannot imagine they must think when they see all these wild animals. I bet I saw 50 bears.

Wow. The drive through the park with elk, deer, bison, and bears is fun for the whole family. Lots of photo opportunities with animals everywhere.
The main area gift shop was affordable with a nice selection. The dinosaur area had a couple of "rideable" dinosaurs and was a unique experience for kids. Free amusement park rides for the kids were also available with a decent selection and short lines. The petting zoo had deer, goats, birds, and a pig.
My family paid for the bear bottle feeding and it was well worth the time and the money. Six bears under a year old who like nooking with their feeders and have large personalities for the tiny size of their bodies were amazing to feed and to pet. As with any babies, they had their opinions and different personalities from messy eaters, to inhalers. Such an incredible experience. Highly recommended.

I've gone a few times in different seasons, but it's still the same. The bathrooms are a mess and super dirty.

At first glance, the price seems really steep being $24 an adult but once you realize just how many animals are actually offered either to see (bison, elk, bears, moose etc.) or to pet at the petting zoo (deer, goats, pigs etc.) I soon understood why! This place was so cool driving in with all of the big bears, elk and bison! Not to mention the adorable petting zoo and amusement park which is also built into the admission price!
Also, their fudge in the giftshop? Delicious!!
Absolutely worth a visit at least once! My family had a wonderful trip and we will be back! Thanks guys! Very impressed.

Lots of bears and other animals common to Yellowstone National Park. Plenty for kids to do too with a petting zoo, and amusement rides all included with admission. You drive through the elk, bison, and bears. You can renter as much as you like but no stopping and no rolling down your windows. A great place to spend 2-3 hours. Food is available to purchase or bring your own—plenty of picnic tables. Good value!

Driving portion to see roaming animals takes about 30 minutes. So a variety of brown bears, black bears, deer, and bison. Entrance to the park also includes entrance to the dinosaur world, small theme park rides, and petting zoo. We spent about 1.5 hrs total in the park, but could have spent double that if your kids are big on doing the rides. Overall a good experience with the family.

The new dinosaur area is really fun. My kids liked the Dino rides. 2 of the 5 rides were broken when we visited, so it was a little disappointing. But the rides are nice for a wide range of ages. I wanted to ask why the petting zoo is so sparce on animals but didn't see an employee near there to ask. The info center on the different animals is great. The deer look so thin and mangey. The way the road winds through the park gives visitors plenty of angles to see the animals.

We attended as a homeschool field trip. The drive through to see the bears was exciting for my girls (10&3). The petting area was fun with little piglets and momma, deer and goats. The girls had fun feeding them and also the fish and ducks in the river. We got there at feeding time and it was so cute to watch the baby bear cubs drinking their bottles. You can pay extra to feed the bear cubs, but we didn't do this. The new dinosaur exhibit was neat with life-sized animatronic dinos to see and even a few of the little coin ride kind. The small carnival rides we did last were fun and the girls left happy for the day out.

Amazing place. Great opportunity to see some majestic wildlife up close! You can take as many laps in your car as you want, that will take you right by bison, dear and a TON of bears. There is also a petting zoo with deer, goats, ducks etc. A few rides for the kids and a dinosaur place under construction for 2024.
IF YOU'RE GOING ALL THE WAY OUT HERE -- spoil yourself and cough up the extra $75 to feed the baby bears. You'll remember that for the rest of your life!!!
This place actually made my mum-in-law cry out of sheer joy over all the beautiful animals and getting to bottle feed the cubs.

We went here on a whim because we were headed in this direction and had an extra hour to do something. Was a great way to see the wildlife up close! Bears, white elk, deer, and bison.

Bear World is always a fun place to visit. I went with my husband and four children. We all enjoyed the animals, petting zoo, rides, and especially Jurassic Creek. My 5-year old froze for a minute when he saw the T-Rex and wasn't so sure about it, it looked so real to him. It was fun to see the dinosaurs and learn more about them.

It’s ok. It’s a pretty small water park. It is definitely built for families and not college students. The water was pretty gross though. There was definitely a film on parts of it that weren’t getting as much traffic. I walked out feeling pretty gross. The slides are good but old. I feel it could use a major update.

We paid for 3 people and got to swim all of about 2 hours. I understand that you can't help the weather...but what really REALLY makes me so upset is that they don't do anything. It wasn't their fault..but it wasn't ours either. I don't want a refund...maybe just another pass to come another day. Even just a pass or two would have been very much appreciated! Gas is expensive and even just from Idaho Falls gets to be a lot. You guys need to change your policies. We have been good customers since you opened. I don't know if we will be back! We will just stick with Heise.

I love this place! They have a lazy river, water slides, and a lap pool! It can be pretty busy, but there are a lot of lifeguards to keep you safe! It's a really great place for families, date nights, or birthday parties! I highly recommend this place!

We had to pay $5.50 to go sit on the grass. The sign posted the cost for non-swimmers at $5.00. I asked about the discrepancy in cost and let them know the sign says $5. The guy at the window said "it's $5.50, is that ok?" . I said not really because of the sign. He said the sign is wrong and it's $5.50. Then he said "well...do you want to go or not?". Customer service was awful and not customer friendly. We won't return.

Great water park in Rexburg! The kids loved it. It has water slides, a lazy river that is not so lazy, a rock climbing wall, smaller water slides for the Littles, and all at a great price!

Rexburg Rapids is always a great getaway. It's great for kids and is something just for fun. The lazy river is my favorite. The slides are also super fun!!
kevin — Google review
Rexburg Rapids is what it is, the only public pool for the community. The summers are very short in Rexburg, and while they say they heat the water, it's not warm enough to go here until at least July.
It's a small park, but has a kiddie area, lazy river, and a couple of slides. Unfortunately, the height limit for the slides is like 48"and they won't allow kids to go down them with floaties on.
The price isn't really high, but it seems like local residents should get more of a discount because it's supported by our taxes. It's also unfortunate that it isn't indoors or at least has a hot tub because as soon as there's cloud cover, it's too cold to swim

Fun if you’re one of the lucky 15 people to get a tube for the lazy river.
I don’t normally leave negative reviews, but this one I felt was worth writing. We have a couple of disabled kids we thought would love to float on the lazy river. We checked the reviews, and headed out. We arrived 5 before they opened and were quite a ways back in the line. Upon entering we found out that there are only maybe 15-20 tubes total. You can’t rent them or reserve them. AND PEOPLE NEVER GET OFF THEM. My kids are too big for the splash pad and can’t swim for the water slide. Complete waste of money for our family. We spent the whole four hours waiting for someone to give up a tube. They never did.

This is a great place for little kids and older. They have a small playground for little ones and larger slides for children over 48". There is shade available but it packs in quick so if you don't get there right when it opens bring your own shade tent for a grassy spot. You can bring in your own coolers and food. We enjoyed the lazy river but it's not really "lazy". It's very hectic and packed. The tubes for the lazy river are fcfs so grab one if you can. Watch your little ones closely in there because the teens get wild and don't look out for kiddos. All in all it's a fun family friendly experience.
Nichole — Google review
The place is fun, but can get crowded at times. Swim lessons here seem to be hit or miss. We've had some good teachers, and some not so good teachers for our kids.
They have a splash pad in the pool for smaller kids which is nice, and adults can relax in some more shallow waters. And for older kids they have a small rock wall in the deep end and two large water slides. And adults might find more fun in the lazy river, but it's honestly popular with people of all ages.
All in all, not a bad place for a family outing. Definitely worth visiting a few times each summer.
The food here is out of this world.🤤 You can tell the dough is made in house! It has a delicious fire, brick oven taste. Such a good vibe, and so incredibly beautiful.🤩 The staff is extremely kind and friendly! 🤍
We also went swimming here and it’s so clean and so much fun! Overall loved everything🥰

It's pretty expensive to take your family there and it's a small pool and get over crowded pretty fast. It is nice that it's mineral water If you want to get your money worth go to lava hot springs you don't pay as much and you have 4 large pools to pick from with different temperatures.

Had a nice one month stay here. Started on Labor Day Monday, so things were winding down and was a nice quiet stay. Road is a bit busy on weekends due to surrounding outdoor activities. Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay with them again if in the area.

Today was my first visit since the upgrade of the dressing rooms by the hot pools. Upgrade not complete but he dressing rooms have radiant heated floors, a fresh clean look, and free lockers. The water was real warm and nice for Dec 14th. It was nice before but better now. I highly recommend.

I've been going here since I was little, I have always loved Heise! They've made some amazing modifications to the place and it looks and feels so much cleaner. I've had no issues with any employees, they've all been really nice. They also give you fair warning about all of their rules including storms and their policies about lightning and no refunds (you are allowed to come back after the storm has passed.) Once you pay you are allowed to come and go as you please, which I think is an amazing policy that no other local swimming pool has (that I'm aware of.) I am also a fan of the drive out to Heise, it is in a gorgeous location and there are some stunning sights.

Not family friendly. Definitely NOT kid friendly. We use to love taking our kids but we went recently and there was nothing but trashy people. Teens who had been clearly drinking and adults acting childish with vulgar language. Inexplicably horrific behavior in the dressing rooms that frightened us so badly we just left. If you consider yourself decent or affluent you're better off staying as far away from this place as possible.

Very rood and disrespectful workers! Took pool toy away from 1yr and didn't even use it! They yell at you for anything they can think of. No refunds when they close pool for lighting 15 miles away. Overall a bad experience!

Easy parking. Fun spot to take the kids especially if you’re like me & hate cold pool waters. Lockable lockers to hold your stuff. Fairly clean bathrooms. Mineral pool was so relaxing. Definitely overcrowded which diminishes the experience but it seems that’s every place these days.

Laid-back, all-inclusive fishing resort set on a river offering fly-fishing trips & a fly shop.
We enjoyed a fabulous meal at one of Teton Valley Lodges private events. The staff was extremely friendly and the chef treated us to a phenomenal 3 course dinner. If you get the chance to participate in one of these events I would highly recommend it!

I had the fishing trip of my life last week. My guide, Harrison, was very helpful and new exactly where to find the fish. I caught seven brown trout between 17-20 inches, plus a lot of smaller fish. I can hardly express my excitement.

We booked a full day guided trip for our honeymoon, and it was amazing! Our guide, David, was such a hard worker and one of the most personable guides I've ever worked with. He had us on fish all day when the weather was not ideal, and made sure my wife and I had a great time. We hope to be back!

Second year coming to TVL and had an amazing time once again. Every aspect of the experience is amazing. Great fishing, great food, great guides, and great accommodation.
Ryan McGee — Google review
Did a day trip on the South Fork of the Snake River. Our guide, Jacob, rowed his face off through high wind and hard, hard rain to get us into fish.
And, boy oh boy, did he ever get us into fish! He rowed us into sneaky spots other guides blasted right by or just barely covered at all. And then he would row us back upstream to hit he same holes over and over until the fish stopped hitting. Some on streamers. Some on dry dropper.
We did this all day boating about 40 fish. I lost count, honestly. More than a few worthy of a photo.
I can't say you'll catch that many. But it won't be for lack of effort from your guide. If all the guides at Teton Valley Lodge work this hard, you are in damn good hands.
Ely Wilkinson — Google review
Outstanding in every respect. Great accommodations, gourmet dining, the best guides we've ever fished with and a staff that anticipates your needs. Seems spendy but really a good value for the total high level experience. We're average fly fishers and we landed more fish than with any guide service on the Henry's Fork or Madison. Most of the guests we visited with have been coming back here for many years. Our first stay here and we understand why.
That is the Tetons in the background, the views are breathtaking.

The owners of the lodge and guide company are amazing people. Everyone from the owners to the staff are positive, hard working, and just overall make sure that you have a wonderful experience. I did not stay at the lodge but we used the guided fishing outfit for a group of 20. The food we had at the lodge was very good. What a great a great trip! Highly recommend A+++
Thank you, Marcus
Angela Coleman — Google review
Wonderful staff. Amazing food, great views, knowledgeable and friendly guides. You don't need to know how to fly fish. You will catch many beautiful trout of varying types as well as other fun native species. My wife had never fly fished in her life and really enjoyed herself over three nights and two days at the lodge. The cabins are large and comfortable. Water pressure was great haha. There are cute puppies running around. The staff takes care to get to know you. Our first guide helped me improve my dry fly presentation and I was amazed as trout rose to sip my fly on top water. I won't spoil the other wonderful surprises in store. Our second guide taught us casting techniques for a heavier rig on a larger river to target the fatties. My wife out fished me again catching native cutthroats, cutbows, rainbows and browns. We saw moose and baldies and enjoyed over-stuffed lunch boxes on the river at scenic locations. The guides went above and beyond to make the experience the best ever. I would 100% recommend this place to new and experienced anglers.
My sister and I had the most memorable trail ride with Kevin in early June! Deb and Kevin run a wonderful outfitter in Idaho. Deb was very helpful with all my questions prior to my trip. I’ve been riding horses my whole life and this was an amazing experience. Kevin was so friendly and helpful when guiding us through aspen forests, canyons and creeks. Kevin and Deb’s Morgan horses are truly remarkable! Being around horses my whole life, I’ve never met such amazing trail horses who are well-trained, sure-footed and trustworthy, especially when crossing creeks and climbing through canyons. I will always recommend Dry Ridge Outfitters!

Wow! Great company. Genuine professionals amazing experience. My wife and I spent 5 days riding with Deb and Kevin Little during July 2022. After day one , we were making plans to return for more adventures with them. The trails were beautiful, the views indescribable, the Morgan horses very capable, and the people we met in our small group of riders made it so much fun. Highly recommend them. Side note: It rained for 15 minutes on our last day and I got to wear my rain gear and take a pic with Deb. It’s one of my favorite pics from the trip.

We recently went for a ride with Dry Ridge Outfitters. We had the best time! I could not be happier with the ride. My son had a blast and did not want the ride to end. He already wants to go back(me too! 😜) Amanda and Kristi were great! They made the ride so fun! Deb made sure everything went smoothly from the time I contacted her about a ride months before all the way up until a few days after. I would recommend Dry Ridge Outfitters to anyone wanting to have a great riding experience. Thank y’all so much!

We had a fantastic day ride with Kevin, a 5th generation native to this beautiful area. He regaled us with stories and local knowledge. Plus, he took us on the most beautiful, scenic ride, making sure we saw sights we had not seen while hiking. Deb was terrific communicating with all our arrangements. My 3 daughters and I had a perfect day trip (and made it home before the thunderstorms!)

We recently returned from a five day Yellowstone pack trip. I would say it was a trip of a lifetime but I am definitely going back!! The friendliest, most patient, and entertaining staff. We were truly blessed to see parts of the Yellowstone not seen by many. Beautiful back country, waterfalls, landscapes and night skies. The horses were amazing, patient, gentle and well suited for different levels. The food was superb. Kevin, Debbie, Greg and Lacey were the best. They did everything to make sure everyone had a great time. I would say don't miss this trip but please don't take my spot!!!

Went with a group of twelve on a four hour ride, all of us beginners. We had an amazing time. The guides gave clear instruction, helped us all along the way, and were great company. The first two hours we rode to a clearing with a views of the Tetons and had a picnic. The views were beautiful as there were wildflowers & peaks of the Tetons showing. The last two hours of the trip went by quickly as we had gained more experience. The trail included creeks, clearings, and canyons. Overall, this was a great trip and would recommend to anyone wanting to experience a scenic trail via horseback.

What a blast! If you are looking to take a day trip adventure on horseback in the beautiful mountains, do not look any further. This was such a memorable experience with my family. Deb and Kevin were professional, knowledgeable, kind, and patient with these city slickers. The horses were sure footed and gentle as we traversed through lush trails and opening up to an amazing vista. I would highly recommend and definitely plan to book again when we come back. Thank you Deb and Kevin! The best!

The 5-day pack trip to Tetons was fantastic! Deb and Kevin are warm and friendly. They are patient with the young and the old (our group was aged 13 to 70) , the experienced and the complete novice. The mountains are breathtakingly beautiful. The horses were sure footed and forgiving. Boone the wonder dog was friendly and loving and everyone wanted to take the Australian shepherd home. I would use Dry Ridge outfitters again and again. Saddle bags nicely hold trail gear, like water bottles, binoculars, or a trail snack. There is much to do when getting ready in the morning or after a ride, but people can do as little or much as they are comfortable with. Everyone in our group gladly helped groom and saddle with particular care for their own horse for the week. Bring a pair of work gloves getting the horses ready, they are not needed for riding. The cooking was great, and it was nice not having to worry about helping with that task, Greg was a terrific camp cook for our trip -- master of the dutch oven. Our trip was in mid August and the fields were covered in blooming wildflowers and virtually no bugs!
Grand Teton Brewing Company is a craft brewery offering a variety of ales and lagers that can be enjoyed in their laid-back on-site pub, often accompanied by seasonal food trucks. The brewery features popular options like Old Faithful Ale, Howling Wolf Weisse Bier, Sweetgrass Pale Ale, and Bitch Creek ESB. Visitors praise the warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere at the brewery, with outstanding customer service from the owner himself.
Great place to enjoy some easy drinking, quality beers and chat with locals or fellow travelers, and watch the sunset over the mountains. Dog-friendly patio area too!

after a drive up to the Targhee national park which is a short 10 minute cruise we decided it was time for a local brew.
Great staff and many options on tap. The view isn’t bad either 😃 (Teton mountains).
Fun fact - while driving across Idaho I’d regularly noticed a lager caller 208. Stumbling on this random brewery turns out they’re the source of the ‘easy to drink’ 208 nectar.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Grand Teton Brewery Company, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that truly sets this brewery apart. The ambiance was inviting, with a relaxed atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding customer service provided by the owner, Chris. He went above and beyond to ensure that every customer felt valued and taken care of. Chris's attention to detail and genuine care for his patrons were evident in every interaction. He took the time to chat with me and make sure I was enjoying my time at the brewery, which made me feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a customer.
The selection of beers at Grand Teton Brewery was impressive, and Chris's knowledge of the brewing process and the various flavors showcased his passion for his craft. He was more than willing to share recommendations based on my preferences, which made the tasting experience even more enjoyable.
The care and dedication that Chris puts into running the Grand Teton Brewery Company truly shines through in the quality of the products and the exceptional customer service provided. It's evident that he takes great pride in his establishment and wants every visitor to have a memorable and delightful experience.
Overall, I cannot recommend Grand Teton Brewery enough, and it's all thanks to Chris and his team's exceptional customer service and genuine care for their customers. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or just looking for a friendly and welcoming place to unwind, this brewery should be at the top of your list. Thank you, Chris, for creating such a wonderful space and for making my visit truly unforgettable. I'll definitely be back!

Great beer and check website for food truck days. I had the Teton Ale with a fish sandwich/fries from the food truck. Both excellent. Small inside where you grab your beer of choice then go outside to enjoy the beautiful view since this brewery is about a mile out of the town of Victor, ID towards Jackson, WY.

One of the top places to stop in Victor while you are visiting that fine city! Great atmosphere safe distancing out on the lawn and very friendly staff. If you are thirsty and need a cold drink or food they can help you out with that to plenty of options on tap or in the fridge and can also order from the retail store to take some souvenirs home! This location practices very through and safe COVID-19 policies. They require masks and social distancing inside and allow for limited contact curbside pick up if requested. They limit the number of customers at any given time and keep the location very clean. I generally feel quite safe when visiting this place.
Grand Targhee Resort, located near Alta and 42 miles away from Jackson, is a ski resort that offers slopeside rooms and suites with four restaurants, a spa, a heated outdoor pool, and guided snowshoe tours. The ski area covers 2,602 skiable acres with five lifts for intermediate riding. The resort has an off-piste atmosphere with fresh powder caches readily available.
We had a great time at Grand Targhee. We were there on a weekend after three days at Jackson Hole. The parking lot was full on the Saturday but there were no real crowds on the hill except for a few lift lines here and there. Sunday was much quieter. We arrived at 830am and got parking right up front. Beautiful place with great terrain. It was a really nice change of pace from Jackson Hole which definitely feels like the "big city" of skiing by comparison. I can't wait to get back on a powder day. The next time I come I will bring my XC gear too as the track looks phenomenal from up above on the hill.

This place was EXCELLENT. The vibe, the mountain, the terrain, the difficulty, the friendliness, everything about this resort was wonderful. I even enjoyed the fog that rolled in and covered the peak for some time. I love to snowboard in that. It was such an adventure being here at Targhee. The terrain park was off the charts with its combination of rails and kickers. Our family really enjoyed this place.

Huge fan of this ski resort. We live in Idaho Falls. It is for sure the best resort near us. I was especially impressed with the variety of the “bunny hill” at Targhee. They gave great facilities for beginners. I have two daughters who started skiing this year. I surprised how much fun my 8 year old and I had doing the small hill for an entire afternoon. They also offer adaptive ski lessons which makes my so happy. My daughter with Down syndrome started this year. The staff is so patient with her and excited for her to have a chance to ski. My older boys and husband are advanced skiers/snow boarders. There is plenty to keep them entertained all day. I also love the patio area + fires. Such a fun environment! Targhee was a great place for our whole family.

Honestly one of my favorite 'off the map' resorts. Always a great place to grab some powder caches, friendly staff with a mom and pop feel. They do have a hotel at the mountain if that is your fancy. Prices are resonable and planning on some serious upgrades over the 2023 winter!

Ok so the bar is amazing very nice people. We came up on sunday the 6th of August got about 3 runs on the little lift and one to the top then they closed the lift because of rain and that is completely understandable. At about 2:45pm the sun came out and it was cleared up. about 12 of us just waited asuming the lift would be opened again because the lift closes at 5. I spent 150.00 for 4 runs....

I took the shuttle from Jackson Hole that picked me up in Teton Village and took me to the Grand Targhee ski resort. The runs were half groomed, half left powdery so you could go on one run and switch between powder and groomed, it was so much fun. The views were out of control, beautiful, and, you can see the grand Tetons and the valley below. My favorite run was shadow woman and I had an excellent time and would highly recommend anyone to visit.

We had a Bluebird day on 2/17/24 and a snowy day on 2/18/24. Both days were great in different ways. We will definitely be going back. Varied terrain for all different levels of skiers. On the clear day I had to remember I was skiing and not just look around in awe at the views.

This place is wonderful. Huge skiing area for beginners that offers enough challenges to keep it interesting for the kids all day long but you can trust them to go off on their own and be fine. All the lift operators were friendly and helpful when needed. The beginner lift had a party vibe and it was easy to get to. We visited on weekdays in February 2024 and got there 30-60 minutes before they opened. It was easy to find parking and the line to buy tickets was short and painless.

The Grand Targhee Resort provided the perfect place for our guys trip this year. The accommodations were simple & clean with comfortable beds and worked well with our group. If we had a wish list a kitchenette and better Wi-Fi (worked fine Sunday and Monday, but terrible otherwise) would have been included, but otherwise everything was covered. Plan for little to no cell service. The skiing was first class with decent vert and lots of terrain. Even with heavy fog on top you can escape to a lower lift. This place would be incredible on a powder day! A highlight for our group was the excellent food, service and drinks we received at the Branding Iron. A special thanks to our favorite bartender Evan and her team for making every effort to ensure our experience was a great one! We will be back.

This place never disappoints. My family loves our time spent on the mountain. We have always stayed in the teewinot lodge. They have started doing some remodeling in some of the rooms. Which is nice, except there is no drawers to store your stuff or hooks to hang your stuff between runs and at night. Hopefully they are just not done and will be adding these necessary items in the future

I love targhee. There are so many places to ski for everyone.The kids area is great and has good places to teach people how to ski. The cliffs are nice and there are cool places to explore in the trees. Hiking Mary's was fun and a quick hike to get to some great powder snow. Don't duck the fences because you might die, the cliffs have big drops. Sometimes it's a bit cloudy and foggy. Also the people that work at the ski lifts are nice.

DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!
I booked via United Airlines during checkout for a flight to Jackson Hole Airport. United claimed this hotel is 14 miles from the airport and Grand Teton National Park. Only after booking do they give you the real location which is a 1 hour and 45 minute drive away. Once they gave me the real location, I immediately cancelled. However, they have the audacity to claim this is 'non-refundable'. Total bait and switch lies. Do not give this lying business your money.

First time here on presidents Day 2024, used to skiing little cottonwood in Utah. First impression of the base was other worldly with the wood burning.
This place was great, ski on, no lines all day, no parking issues, the kids all loved it, and there was challenging terrain for Dad and the older kids too! grooming was great and there were still powder shots at 2pm without knowing where to go.
And on mountain Day care for the younger kids and they loved that too!
Well be back next year!

Very affordable and kid-friendly resort. We are novice snowboarders from Texas. I hesitated the drive from Jackson Hole due to snowy road conditions but glad that we visited. The last mile leading to the resort was difficult to drive, however, all the cars were cautiously slow. One recommendation is improving customer service in ski/snowboard rental. Staff fitted our 5 y.o. child in size 3 kid, 4 sizes bigger than what we requested and gave him the board that was too long for his size. It was Easter Sunday so staff was probably distracted. Nonetheless, it was a great experience.
Tammy Pham — Google review
One of my favorite ski resorts. It's locally owned and operated, still affordable in 2024 with much less crowds compared to nearby big name ski resorts. Their ski school is one of the best because there is an entire beginner area with dedicated lifts for people taking ski/snowboarding lessons.

Loved the resort but I had an emergency that I had to return home and I had purchased a two day pass @ $135 per day for a total $270. I got to the resort on day two and explained my issue and asked to get a refund for the unused day. I was told that I skied to much the first day and that it was a bundled ticket and there are zero refunds. I asked to speak to a supervisor but was told she was sick.

No electric car charging and proud of it. We called ahead, sadly after making our resort hotel reservation, to learn there were no car charging facilities at all on the mountain. We lost the full cost of a day/night hotel stay. No refunds if you cancel less than two weeks prior to the reservation date. The manager said, “I tow EVs down the mountain all the time, it’s the Rockies, why would anyone ever consider driving there in an electric car? Thanks very much, have a nice day”. Argh
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is one of the most popular ski resorts in the country with challenging terrain, an aerial tram, and lively base village. With more than 4,000 feet of vertical terrain and unprecedented access to out-of-bounds terrain, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is perfect for skiers of all levels.
One of the best ski resorts in the U.S. for many reasons. The mountain is spectacular and boasts some of the most challenging runs in the world. That being said, they are very friendly toward beginning skiers and boarders offering one of the best ski schools I've seen with high caliber instructors. Hope that continues because this is one of the main reasons we continue to choice Jackson Hole every year. They've been able to retain top quality employees throughout the resort from instructors to food service to mountain hosts. On that note, they have tons of staff everywhere to help you with anything and they are genuinely kind, friendly and not lazy. I've seen other resorts really lacking in this department and it really ruins your vacation when you come across negative employees.
They limit ticket sales and require Ikon reservations so it's never horribly crowded like Mammoth.
There are plenty of delicious food choices throughout the resort and some are really top notch. Definitely one of the best resorts for food quality and variety.
The buyers do a great job of stocking the stores with a varied selection of nice quality merchandise. One thing they don't have a ton of is kid's equipment for sale so if you need that you need to go to town or just rent.
Really nice to see that this resort has been able to grow but still retain its friendly small town personality.

My First visit in December 2021 was epic. Challenging terrain, incredible snow conditions, well groomed, friendly and helpful staff, many lifts and gondolas, multiple options for food/drink, and downright beautiful.
There were some things that were less-than-epic though. Finding a Parking spot was challenge, and parking is expensive ($30-40 for a few hours). Private lesson was great for my sons but expensive - almost $800 for 4 hours. An electrical problem disabled most of the lifts one day…A refund wasn’t offered. Lift tickets are very expensive - $135 for half day. Weeks in advance, I Couldn’t even get full day tickets because they were limiting sales due to Covid (?) My sons are novice-level snowboarders and beginner terrain is limited.

Nice mountain. Parking if you are staying in a condo near the resort is atrocious. Food in the resort was decent. Having zero water fountains in the resort is also a huge drag. Come prepared or be prepared to spend time driving each day to Jackson for food and such. The slopes here are definitely a place I'd not bring a first timer or uncomfortable person unless you're prepared to stay down low all day.

Challenging, well maintained mountain resort in Jackson, Wyoming. With tons of trails and lifts, you can get runs in where you never see another person. Unique feature of the resort is the aerial tram that takes skiers to the top at over 10,000 vertical feet. Ski rental, bars, restaurants and hotels right at the base of the mountain so you have everything you could need at your fingertips.

Steep and fun. Be sure to get the free carpool parking to save yourself $20-40. The tram is fun but the run is only good if you can make the first or second tram of the morning. We found getting in line by 830am on a weekday worked. Otherwise the run will be tracked out.
Highly recommend the Rendezvous lodge for lunch. Beautiful views and good food.

Jackson Hole was my first ever experience snowboarding out west. We were so spoiled, and had a huge fresh powder blue bird day on our first day. But aside from that, the conditions have been amazing very time we have gone. Seemingly endless terrain, and fresh new ways to get down from the tram time and time again. Visiting in the summer is also amazing. Hiking, restaurants, playgrounds for the kids, etc. Can't wait to be back!

We absolutely loved this place!! They upgraded us to a suite complimentary because it was our anniversary. We will definitely be back during the winter next time to see the snow.

Daughter really wanted to do the bungee jumping activity until we saw the ropes course -- she was super excited. The course had perfect beginner "green" obstacles to learn, and progress from the various green to blue to black courses.
The instructors were fantastic and made the experience wonderful. I highly recommend doing the ropes course if you have time!

Great resort even if you don’t catch any powder days. If you get lucky with the snow this mountain will spoil other mountains for you. Long runs and great terrain. Crowds spread out nicely because the mountain is so big. If you are lucky you can even see some moose hanging out at the bottom of the trails. Ride the tram to the top for the views and Grab a waffle.

Really fun resort in all seasons...but we were most recently here late August 2022.

This place wad AWESOME. A whole little town inside of a bigger one. You simply must go on the aerial tram to see the amazing views and to, of course, try the waffles up there. Yes, there is a waffle place on the top of the 10,000 ft mountain- and they have the best waffles I have ever tasted.

Very good skiing experience. I happened to go at a time when they needed some more snow but it was still a very good time on the slopes. The wait for food was long though. I’d recommend getting there early for a good parking spot but overall it was a great time.

. Took the Tram up.
. My wife and I shared a berry waffle.
. Hiked the Cirque Trail to Bridger.
. Took the Gondola down.
. Although my wife got tired from the hike and we forgo eating dinner at the Bridger, we enjoyed the trip. A must-see or a must do.

Absolute best conditions for groomed runs with fresh powder daily. The staff who work the mountain from the ski shop to gondola, chairlift and slope management are simply wonderful human beings who go out of their way to make Jackson Hole a welcoming experience and allowing the tourists to dink into a little bit of their daily bliss.

2nd day, snow day. A must to ride Trams. Overall, I would recommend coming here to ski if you haven't. There's not much beginner stuff, so take it into consideration.
Jackson Hole Aerial Tram and Gondola Rides is a ski resort located in the beautiful valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With views of both Snow King Mountain and Grand Teton National Park, this resort offers an array of activities for visitors to enjoy during the winter season. The aerial tram ride up to the top of the mountain offers a great way to see all that this ski resort has to offer, while also enjoying happy hour on The Deck, which overlooks the whole of the Hole.
The aerial tram ride was totally worth the money (even if it is a little pricey - order the tickets online for a little discount)! A quick and scenic ride gets you up to the top in 15 minutes (or less, if there's weather coming in). You can easily hike around the summit of the resort and check out some of your favorite ski runs. There is also a waffle shack where you can grab a snack and a beer and enjoy the views. Will definitely come back here again .

This place is so cool! Sadly, we went while the tram was closed for the summer BUT we still had a great time! From the guys working the free parking booth helping us with navigation and offering us a nice map as first time visitors, to the nice employees who made buying tickets for the gondola and ropes course easy and the sweet employees at the ropes course letting me sit in the shade while my sister was on the course- this experience could have only have been better if the smoke from the California fires could've gone away!
Anyways, we will definitely be coming back to do everything we couldn't do yet like mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing! There is just so much cool stuff to do here! This place was definitely a 6 out of 5 stars and definitely has there s%*t together to help families have a wonderful trip! Thanks guys!

We had an unforgettable time at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, where the breathtaking scenery immediately captivated us upon arrival. The Aerial Tram and Gondola rides were undeniably the highlights of our trip.
The evening Aerial Tram ride provided a magical and exclusive experience. To save time, you can purchase tickets online or conveniently buy them at counters for the evening gondola. As we ascended, the twinkling lights of the resort and nearby town painted a picturesque scene, which we couldn't resist capturing with our cameras.
Reaching the summit, we were in awe of the panoramic views. The top offered a selection of restaurants to grab a bite while enjoying the stunning views from above. On the day of our visit, we were fortunate to be entertained by a live music band, adding to the memorable evening.
The Gondola ride down the mountain was equally enchanting, as the resort's glowing lights created a warm and inviting atmosphere.
In conclusion, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort with its Aerial Tram and Gondola rides is a must-visit for any adventure seeker or nature enthusiast. The resort provides an extraordinary experience that will undoubtedly leave you with cherished memories.

Purchased the family day pass and spent most of the afternoon here. Free parking and lot of food options at the base. Amazing waffles at the top of the mountain if you take air tram. There are plenty of hiking trails at the top. We did cirque trail which was awesome. Little difficult because of loose rocks and snow patches but doable for casual hikers. There are lot of other activities to do too. Bungee jumping and bike riding options.

The aerial tram was awesome! The ride was smooth. I’m afraid of heights, and only the last minute of the ride up the mountain triggered a bit of panic. But the views from the summit were worth it! The tram operators were friendly and offered advice on things to do in the area. There’s a small cabin at the summit where you can buy waffles, snacks, and drinks. GET THE HOT CHOCOLATE! Delicious.

Good service at the Gondola, nice maps of hiking trails. Just stunning views to wherever you look.
The Restaurant on top was nice with some really good pizza. Having that on the terrace by fabulous sunshine and the great view was awesome. We hiked a couple of trails on top and then decided to walk down. It was no piece of cake and we were late to catch the other Gondola half way down. Our knees and toes suffered a bit on the way down however it is doable. Many nice benches and resting places to take it easy. I hope to be back.

This attraction is very limited for the majority of the visitors. When we went up, it was around 2pm and 30+mph winds. Upon reaching the top, we ordered our $9 waffles then headed back down. (Peanut butter & bacon, and lemon) By the time we came back from the second tram, the winds were 67mph The operators told us that the cable cars could withstand 80mph winds, but advised us to head back down immediately since the winds were picking up so quickly. There was nothing to do at the top. Some people were hiking, and others had their mountain bikes. Weren't able to enjoy the other gondolas that were included in the price, due to the weather, so I can't rate them. Gave 4* for the safety advice of the operator, and the owner interaction. Thank you, Lexi, it was a pleasure speaking with you.

The imposing peak of Grand Teton is a popular mountaineering destination in Wyoming that is surrounded by stunning hiking trails. With its sheer size, impressive height and scenic views, it has long been a favorite of experienced climbers. At 13,775 feet tall, it is the second-highest mountain in the state and can be seen for miles around.
What a magnificent view and serenity of this remarkable place!
I visited Grand Teton National Park for the first time on September/5/2021.
Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for all ages and other forms of recreation. It offers something for everyone, from canoeing, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, horse back riding, floating in the river, and taking the best pictures as well.
There are a lot of trails to explore, and they are arranged from easy, moderate, to hard.
I didn’t have enough time to do a lot of them, so most of my hikes were focused on the super easy.
The Grand Teton & Teton Range are one of the most beautiful white mountain formations & places that I have been to.
I went for the morning hike by Jenny Lake and it was absolutely captivated by the reflection of Teton Range over the water.
Watching the sunset on the top Teton was unforgettable moments,
and gorgeous views of Jackson Lake, surrounding a range of soaring mountains, and lush green trees. Truly nature at its best.
Just about a postcard or calendar viewpoint everywhere I looked. It's almost impossible not to take beautiful photos, but pictures do not come close to doing justice for this paradise as it is so truly magnificent!!!
This is definitely a must see as it will completely take your breath away.

We stayed in Colter bay before heading up to Yellowstone. Absolutely beautiful mountain range with Iconic peaks. We hiked and caught a ferry across the lake to see the falls. Don't miss out on that it's worth it! Then we headed down to mormon row. We skipped into Jackson to catch a concert and eat. The facilities were great and the convenient accessibility to the park was greatly appreciated.

Hey if you're in the area with a trad rack and a rope, would HIGHLY recommend climbing this classic beauty! Exum ridge, the most common route, is seriously classic although can get slightly tricky with routefinding. Either way, a day hike or a backpacking trip, is very enjoyable although be safe and keep an eye on the weather!

Absolute must if you are in Jackson, Wyoming!
Would recommend hiring a 4 wheel drive car as there’s about 1.5 miles of off roading/pot holes to drive through.
Park entry is $35 or $80 for a yearly membership card to all national parks.
Jenny lake is recommended (pics below) it’s was an incredible view! The pictures don’t do it justice.
Also if you want to see bears ask the park ranger at the entrance and they let you know the spots to go!

This has to be one of the most beautiful places in the United States! We haven't been able to see it during the summer time but the winter was amazing! It was super clean too. Make sure if you go you have to go watch the sunrise and sunset. Only wish is we were able to see more wildlife we only saw a few deer, sheep and moose but it was still a great adventure.

The mountain and the lake are so peaceful here. Even every day they are all stand in the same place. But every time I watch at them still feel so different. The view of points, from the north, south, western and eastern, let them varied per day. The clouds, sun, sky, animals, weather make them outstanding per day. The cold, hot, warm, chill make them feel so different per day. The sorrow, joy, afraid and anger make them special per day.
Even I want to go home some times, the view makes me stay. Respect the nature and every person I met here. Really enjoy my seasonal employee days here.
The Jackson Hole Rodeo is a great place to take the family for an evening of fun. There are bull riding, barrel racing, calf roping and more. Good food and cold beer is available.
My first rodeo and it’s fun and memorable. The host on the ground was entertaining and making sure we have good time. Highly recommended if you are in Jackson hole and parking is free. Please help save the Rodeo 🙏🏼

Well worth the price. They do a great job of getting the crowed involved, very interactive and thought out. Be careful when buying tics online as brokers and third party websites come up before the actual Rodeo ticket page and charge $100’s of dollars more than what tics actually cost from the rodeo. It’s definitely a must see if in town for the weekend.

My first experience at a rodeo. I did enjoy the activities although I do feel that there could have been more of a rodeo vs filling up the time with random activities and games with the crowd. Of course I realize some of that is a part of the rodeo but then again I paid quite a bit of money for a ticket to see a real rodeo. They had a handful of bulls and riders. The food and drinks was outrageous. The cheapest item was a very small 4.00 box of pop corn. All in all it was a okay experience the bull riders did a great job out there.

One of the best rodeos I’ve ever been to. I’ve been going to rodeos my entire life, probably been to over 75 and this one was amazing. It even topped some of the PBR’s I’ve been too.

We attended the Rodeo on Saturday Night while visiting Jackson Hole. We had a great time and highly recommend this for the entire family. The Announcer was fabulous, and everyone involved with putting on the show was professional and appeared to really enjoy their jobs. Towards the end of the show, they hosted a competition for groups of kids, 5 and under and between 5 and 11 years of age. They were chasing sheep and trying to get a ribbon in exchange for a prize. They had a blast. The Rodeo Competitors won’t let you down either. Their highly competitive and put in a tremendous show. Do you and you family a favor and don’t miss an opportunity to attend this rodeo. It starts at 8:00 pm and is over at 10:00 pm.

This was our first rodeo. We sat next to a couple from TX and they said this is how rodeos are supposed to be and this truly authentic. We enjoyed ourselves. Very patriotic environment with horses, announcer, Star Spangled Banner, etc. They also were very safe when they invited the kids to come into circle by locking all the gates so no one wandered off with a kid. They ensured all kids were back with their parents prior to opening the gates. Would definitely recommend for all ages young and old alike.

Have to be honest, this was a boatload of fun. Wouldn't by any stretch have imagined I'd have such a good time at a rodeo, but this place was definitely worth the visit. No idea what was going on with the bull riding (the scoring criteria was a bit to follow, with the exception of the 8 second timer) but still it was cool to see all the women and men competing. The announcers were hilarious, and the whole atmosphere was welcoming. Lots of fun for the kids.

Out in Jackson Hole, under the wide open sky,
Where the stars gleam bright and the wind sings high,
There's a rodeo, friend, that'll steal your heart away,
With buckin' broncs and brave cowboys, a thrillin' display.
The Jackson Hole Rodeo, it's a sight to behold,
Where the dust kicks up and the stories are told.
Bulls snortin' fire, ridin' high and wild,
Cowgirls spurrin' hard, like a motherless child.
The crowd roars loud, with a cheer and a holler,
As riders cling on, showin' true grit and dollar.
Barrel racers fly, like a bat outta hell,
And them ropers, quick as a ringin' church bell.
So if you're lookin' for action, in Jackson Hole town,
Where the spirit of the West never does slow down,
Head to that rodeo, let your heart run free,
The Jackson Hole Rodeo, where the West's meant to be.
Jackson Town Square is a popular park with iconic elk antler archways at each corner and a grassy center with trees and benches. The reviewers on Trip Advisor who have been there say that it is a great place to sit and people watch, and that it is convenient to all the shops. The creatures in the park are also popular.
What a great place. Luckily it's off season for tourists. Ended up buying a mini hair tie in the fur shop. That's about all most people could afford.

Cool quaint town to eat, shop or just hang out. Very walkable, free public parking with multiple entrances and moderately expensive but beautiful and well stocked shops. Easy 2-3 hours well spent.
We did find a parking spot but no info about fees or clarity if it was free. We did park for 2 hours and no tickets. Some construction at the end of June 2022 making a bit congested in a particular area.

The town square in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a delightful destination brimming with character. Anchored by a small park adorned with elk antler arches at its four corners, it offers a picturesque setting for visitors to explore. In the center of the park stands a small yet poignant veterans memorial monument, adding a touch of solemnity to the surroundings. Surrounding the park, you'll find a variety of shops and restaurants, making it the perfect place for a leisurely stroll. Whether you're admiring the antler arches, paying tribute at the memorial, or browsing the nearby establishments, the town square offers a charming experience that captures the essence of Jackson Hole.

The town square of downtown Jackson Hole is very unique and charming. The antler archers on the 4 corners of the town square are a staple for your visit. We enjoyed a beautiful brisk afternoon walking around and popping into the different shops. My main reason for giving 4 stars is that I wish downtown Jackson Hole had more local good/unique shops rather than SO many touristy tee shirt shops.

Jackson Town square is a must see!
Amier arches, have been gales to the Jackson Town Square 1 since 1960. The antlers are from elk that winter on the National Elk Refuge. About 7,500 elk spend each winter on the refuge. The bulls shed their antlers each spring. Antlers are picked up by local Boy Scouts and sold by public auction in this square each May. All four arches were built by the Jackson Hole Rotary Club.
The arches are here for all to enjoy
it is unlawful to remove antlers from
these arches, and subject to $750 in fines.

In Jackson's heart, where legends ride,
A tradition lives, with a cowboy stride.
The Town Square Shootout, a Wild West play,
For sixty-five years, it's held its sway.
Memorial to Labor, each summer night,
The streets come alive, in the fading light.
The Chamber of Commerce, the Playhouse true,
Bring history to life, for me and for you.
From six to seven, the gunslingers stand,
Reenacting the past, a courageous band.
Four million souls, they've witnessed the sight,
Of bullets and showdowns, as day turns to night.
No need for a ticket, no need for a fee,
Just gather 'round, let your spirit run free.
At half past five, on the northeast side,
In Jackson's Town Square, let history ride.

Cozy center of town surrounded by some decent eateries and overpriced tourist trap bars & shops.
The town used to have meaning. Historic value. Check out Clint Eastwood I. 'every which way but loose' and 'every which way you can.' Much of the second film was made in Jackson and one gets a feel for it's charm. We started having annual family camping trips in the 80's near Teton Village. Now the campground is a private gated community with 7 or 8 twenty million dollar homes. Yeah, they're nice but get real. When the average citizen cannot gain access, camp with their kids or share an afternoon doing what families have been doing there for centuries, it makes me sick knowing it belongs to the spoiled few who could in all reality care less about the rest of us, the past struggles of ordinary immigrants and trappers, their sacrifices and harsh realities. Not to mention the natives who once inhabited the land with reverence. The idea of 'owning' the land was preposterous to them. You cannot own the land. You take from it and give back. Let's give it all back to them so it can become as it once was: proud, glorious and free

If you are visiting Grand Teton NP or skiing Jackson Hole this quaint town square deserves a stop. Sheriff on horseback and the iconic antler arches! I highly recommend walking around, dining, and spending some time exploring Jackson Hole's Town Square.

Jackson Town Square is a great stop if you're staying in Jackson Hole. There are plenty of gift shops and restaurants here. Don't miss the chance to take a photo with the iconic antler arches, which are a symbol of the city. I highly recommend walking around and spending some time exploring this charming city.

What a beautiful square. The antler arches, war memorial, historic feeling and statues are great.
Very relaxing atmosphere and clean. All the shops, restaurants, and places of interest are perfect.

This is a very unique picturesque public space. It is not very big but very beautiful.
It is surrounded by unique wooden boardwalks, local shops, art galleries and restaurants. One of the most notable features of the town square are the iconic elk antler arches, which were constructed from shed antlers collected from the nearby National Elk Refuge. There is a giant arch at each corner of the square.
The town square serves as a gathering place for locals and tourists, offering a variety of activities and events throughout the year. During the summer, the square hosts farmers markets where visitors can find fresh produce, local crafts and homemade goods. Art festivals, concerts and other cultural events are also held on the square, providing entertainment for visitors of all ages.
In the winter, the town square is transformed into a winter wonderland. Festive lights adorn the trees and an ice skating rink is set up for visitors to enjoy. The annual holiday tradition of lighting the town square Christmas tree attracts locals and tourists alike, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere.
In addition to its attractions and events, the town square is a starting point for exploring nearby Grand Teton National Park and world-renowned Yellowstone National Park. Visitors will find information centers and tour operators around the square, offering guidance and assistance for outdoor adventures.

I like old places and cities...buildings are built in the old style, cowboy hats and fire water :) at least for a little while you travel in time...:) But the cityJackson was originally populated by Native American tribes including the Shoshoni, Crow, Blackfeet, Bannock, and Gros Ventre...
The National Elk Refuge is a protected area in Jackson Hole, Wyoming that is home to elk herds in winter. The refuge offers car rides and sleigh rides to see the animals up close. It is one of the premier wildlife destinations in the country.
We came to the elk refuge for the sleigh ride without a reservation and the ladies in the ticket booth got us in when another party hadn't shown up and within 5 minutes we were on the shuttle to get to the sleigh ride. The whole process to get on the ride was quick and easy. The only downfall is the area you load into the ride was very muddy (probably due to the recent snow melting). We also didn't have a "sleigh" ride it was more of a pulled wagon due to the snow melting and it was super bumpy, but overall our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed seeing all of the Elk. My 6 year old daughter loved it. We would definitely do this tour again!

This place is truly one of a kind, it’s so beautiful and there’s wildlife everywhere. You never know what’s gonna be out there. Great for a hike or a nice walk, you really get to see the natural beauty of Jackson Hole!

Amazing experience! I went out before the sun was up and watched the sun hit the Tetons. I then watched a pack of coyotes kill a elk calf and then fight eagles over the calf for hours. I also saw bighorn sheep and moose.

This is a wonder-filled adventure for everyone! Cole our wagon-master was a real horseman and a very educated young man regarding horses, elk behavior and biology and eco-system awareness of the refuge. Coyotes and a Adult Bald Eagle rounded out our tour perfectly. Highly recommend.

Lynn was knowledgeable & gave us a whole new appreciation for the wildlife and the refuge.

There were no elk at the time we drove through... better time to visit is when it's colder and the elk have actually come down to the refuge from the mountains. (Dec-Apr)
Overall, it was scenic and you can get great views of the Tetons!

If you are visiting Jackson, the National Elk Refuge under the management of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a must visit; however, the elks migrate and stay there only during the winter, so plan appropriately. Admission is free (unless you opt to take the sleigh ride), and access is by the National Elk Refuge Road via East Broadway Ave of Jackson. There is also an observation deck at the back of the visitor center in the center of town. When we visited between Christmas and New Year's Day, numerous elks were huddled in the fields around south of the refuge near the Miller House historical landmark. Make sure to bring your binoculars and super telephoto lens if you want to see the elks and bighorn sheep close-up.
Steve Fung — Google review
Incredible! I had no idea this would be so easily accessible and free! You can just drive right through, stop on the pullouts and enjoy the thousands of elk. We saw a bunch of ram as well that were fighting and very active. So glad we stumbled on this place and went. The road actually goes on for a very long way that not many people I noticed venture out to. We did and saw a lot more wildlife.

Nice little setup inside. Very clean and very polite/helpful employees. It has a nice little gift shop and has the stamps for the journey and passport collection books. Very beautiful outside view. Telescope to see the Elk way out in the fields. 10-15 min walk thru.

What’s not to like about the Elk refuge? We didn’t take the tour but drove around the back side. The elk were all right in the middle of the refuge so we didn’t get a good look at them. But, there was a bunch of mountain goats climbing the cliffs and just relaxing in the grass.

The sleigh rides at the National Elk Refuge was such a wonderful experience! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Bring layers if you're going in the winter. The elk are so majestic and even got to see some of the males play fighting each other with their horns. We also had a surprise guest appearance from a beautiful bald eagle. Sorry to everyone who had to deal with our over-tired toddler 😬 Stunning views.
Kari Treat — Google review
This place is awesome. I have the opportunity to be one of the sleigh guides and see what really goes on out here. Getting up close and personal with these Elk is truly an incredible experience. These animals are wild and you get to see them in their natural winter environment. It is a must for anyone coming to the Jackson Hole area. Dress warm and come on over. you are in for a ride of a lifetime.
Jenny Lake Trail is a 7.1-mile moderate hiking trail that encircles a picturesque lake, offering stunning views of water, forests, and mountains. The area also boasts several other hiking trails of varying difficulty levels, leading to breathtaking mountain vistas and more. Visitors can explore the Forks of Cascade Canyon, admire Hidden Falls, or venture into glacier territory at Hurricane Pass.
Great views of Jenny Lake. If you're taking this trail to get to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point in winter, I highly recommend going counterclockwise. Trail gets very slushy when the ice melts. Bring good shoes that will not let the water seep or plan on going slightly earlier in the day when you can walk on snow.
Rasikanand Harvind — Google review
Loved the views, but in case this matters to anyone else: the trail had rocks sticking up/out from the dirt, so I spent most (at least the first half) of the hike looking down at where I was walking. This was in the late summer, so no snow cover. I was definitely out of shape, so towards the waterfall where the incline increased, I was out of breath and had to stop for a minute every so often :) The falls were gorgeous! But I'd probably rather take the ferry ride over next time, even if I'm in better physical fitness. the little "village" at the start (Jenny lake visitors center) was great. Also, at the end of our hike, we took off our shoes and waded in the water, it felt great!

I'll never travel to Grand Teton National Park without this trip planner again
Jenny Lake is a beautiful glacial mountain lake located in the heart of Grand Teton National Park. It's a popular spot for hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating during the summer months. If you're visiting in the summer, it's important to note that campsites can fill up quickly so be sure to plan your trip ahead!
Jenny Lake is one of the most popular sites in Grand Teton National Park. It is very beautiful area. There is a visitor center, camp ground and large parking lots at south east edge of the lake. From there there is a trail going north to Jenny Lake Overlook which is not very impressive. If you go south you get to boat station from which you can take a boat to the start of Cascade Canyon trail on west side of the lake. The fare is $12 for adult. Taking the boat would shave about 2 miles from the hike to where boat take you. From there there is 0.5 mile trail to Hidden Falls which are beautiful, and from there another half mile hike upward takes you to Inspirational Point with great views of the lake from the top.
If you plan to visit get there early otherwise parking may become a problem.

My husband and I snowshoed all the way to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point yesterday. Unfortunately, because the snow covered most of the trails and we came out on the first day it opened, we were unable to find the Jenny Lake Trailhead from the South entrance that hugs the left side of the lake. Instead we took the trail that looks like the black dotted line more on the left on the AllTrails map (the Western leg of the Hidden Falls loop trail). We followed the tracks of other snowshoes. It takes you up the mountain to incredible views of the lake along the way. Just be aware that at one point, you’re essentially walking across a double black diamond slope over 3-4 feet of snow. After seeing the falls and Inspiration Point, we tried to find the trail that hugs the lake on our way back South (we decided not the do the whole loop around Jenny Lake since it was going to rain), but found bear tracks and decided to turn around and go back the same way we came from. It was difficult to hike this with snowshoes, so it would be incredibly challenging to attempt this without at this time. The bridges that cross the river were also covered in 4 feet of snow.
Christine L. — Google review
One of the most beautiful views in the world! I got there at 8am on a late May morning, before the crowds, and had much of the loop trail to myself. The lake was mirror-like and the sky was a bright blue with a few billowing clouds - just spectacular! Don't miss the chance to see it yourself, the photos are awesome, but don't do it justice. Plan ahead to miss the crowds. Very highly recommended!

Go here immediately. Simply stunning beauty. Breathtaking. Crystal clear water. Kids loved it. The bottom of the lake is a bit rocky so water shoes recommended. Go really early or late afternoon to get a parking spot.

Amazing place in the Grand Teton National Park 🏞️. The lake is beautiful and water is very clean and calm. We took the boat ride across the Jenny Lake to reach the base of the Teton. The trek to inspiration point and the hidden falls start from here. Jenny Lake is a definite visit during your trip to Grand Teton.

Beautiful Lake. Nice bridge to cross when following the trail. We rode over 10,000 feet in elevation to the top of Paintbrush Canyon. Loved every minute of it 🙂 The Lake was so peaceful.
ShonnaLee — Google review
Amazing clear lake with even more amazing views. There are several trails to choose from. One is very easy around the right shore of the lake. You could also take the boat to the trail that leads to the falls. The boat didn't run in the middle of May, so a little research is necessary when the boat season actually starts.
Although there are plenty of parking spots, they fill up quickly. You should get there very early or have endless patience waiting for a car to leave.
This being nature, you may encounter wildlife.
In mid-May there were sometimes piles of snow and part of the lake was frozen.
Ingrid Kacaniova — Google review
Very pretty. Clear water. Breathtaking. Too many people. Arrive at like 6am if you want a parking spot in the parking lot. I wanted to a different hike but the only hike available was Jenny Lake. Not too many people on this one. So that was nice.

Jenny Lake is a gorgeous place, with a lot to offer and a photographer’s delight. We took an interpretative boat tour of the lake on a sunny afternoon, and under light rain, a play between clouds and bright sunlight made for the very best and lively views of the Grand Teton peaks (we felt so close to them). On the others side, the discovery trail led to impressive waterfalls, and a great view of the lake from a height. If you can hike further up and we did not (it is more steep and slippery), there is more to discover! The one way drive on the Jenny Lake loop is also very beautiful (and not more of the same).

Best lake in Teton. Water is so clear, view is awesome. Take the shuttle boat to the other side of lake, hike to hidden fall (easy .5 miles hike) and inspiration point (moderate .5 miles from hidden fall). We went there twice on 2 consecutive days and love it. My little girl wants to go there everyday.

We chose to get the boat to go across for the hike to see the waterfall. Listen when they tell you it'll rain. Got over started pouring, has to wait to get a ride back. Very pretty. Seeinf the foxes was neat. The boat ride was fun, and when it wasn't raining it was beautiful on the other side of the lake. Pretty easy hike up to the falls. Well defined trail. You can walk around too it instead of renting the boat ride. Pretty views, friendly staff.

We visited recently. We took the boat across the lake and hiked up to Inspiration Point. It's an easy to moderate hike. Great views. However, this was the most crowded thing we did on our vacation to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. We had to park alongside the highway and walk a good bit to the lake.

It’s a very beautiful and popular location in the Grand Teton National Park that visitors frequently visited!
There is a visitor center and gift shop that you can get some souvenir and supplies or cup of coffee!
The lake itself is pretty nice. There are also a boat ride offered with gasoline outboard engines which I think if they can change to the electric motors would be better. Because the sound of the gas engine truly disrupt the tranquility of this beautiful scenery!

Stunning lake, ideal
For a nice hike, we went rethought the loop trail up to Hidden Falls and then took the boat back. It’s about an hour walk, beautiful surroundings, it’s not to hard to walk and very much worth it! We didn’t have time to swim but the water looked amazing, it is one of the clearest lakes I’ve ever seen. I recommend
Grand Teton National Park is a world-renowned natural wonder, with plenty of hiking trails and opportunities for swimming and rafting in its dramatic valleys and mountains. With unparalleled views of the Tetons, it's one of the must-see attractions in Jackson Hole.
One of the best national parks! Mountains, lakes, streams, waterfalls, moose, elk, bears, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, camping, and so much more. Hiking the canyons is especially amazing. My highlights were Cascade Canyon, Lake Solitude (ironically very busy), the Schoolroom Glacier, and canoeing Leigh/String Lakes.

Military/Veterans make sure to get your free pass to all national parks so you can your family can save the $35 to enter. A great park overshadowed by its more popular brother north of it. Definitely more of a hiking park than a sightseeing one. Most of the picturesque views require at least some hiking instead of just parking and a brisk walk like other parks.
Jordan Gonzalez — Google review
What an incredible park! The mountain range is absolutely stunning! Sunrise should be spent at Schwabacher Trail and Jenny Lake is a must visit. Check in on the boat shuttle at Jenny Lake before planning some trails around the area. There's plenty of moose at Moose Junction and you'll catch a bear or two at sundown! Take a nice drive or bike ride down the scenic road near Jenny Lake.

We enjoyed using our stand up paddle board at String Lake (make sure you get the proper inspection first!), and we very much appreciated the miles of paved bike paths that we were able to safely ride along with our two young kids in their bike trailer. Can't wait to return when they're older to try some of the incredible hikes!

I’ve been hiking these mountains since I was a kid. One of the most beautiful places to visit, and if you can avoid the touristy seasons by going in September or October it’s even better.

Not easy hikes but backpacking in Alaska Basin was also an awesome experience.

Last year my wife and I went to the Teton mountains, we had planned this trip in 2022 and it just so happened to be my 50th. anniversary of visiting the park for the first time as a teenager. The Tetons are my most favorite mountain range ever since that 1973 family vacation and I named my first dog a Wolf/Husky hybrid after those mountains. It was a 14 day trip as we took our time going out there and spending a week in the park. We also did the Lake Solitude hike as well. Wyoming is one of my favorite states, I guess there's a bit of Cowboy in me. We'll eventually go out west again and maybe go through the park just to get another fix of the splendid grandeur.

Grand Teton National Park is a winter wonderland not to be missed. Snow-capped peaks, frozen lakes, We only did Jenny lake and Taggert lake. I loved the serene forests that create a magical scene. Enjoy activities like snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, my friend and I hiked 15 miles total, dress cozy. The night sky is also mesmerizing, we didn’t see any wildlife and it wasn’t as crowded, but I can’t wait to see the park at a different time a year.

One of the most majestic places on this planet and also one of the most underrated national parks in the US simply because it's next to Yellowstone. A few tips for visitors:
1) Summer is a good time to visit but it's very crowded. Late fall to early winter is the best time because you have less crowds but roads are still open and you see lots of undisturbed wildlife.
2) Lodging gets expensive in spring and summer so book ahead. Jackson Hole is expensive so you can try the nearby small towns.
Triangle X Ranch is a renowned outfitter that offers scenic float trips on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park. The outfitters expertise allows for a safe and comfortable trip down the 10 most stunning river miles in the park, providing a unique vantage point from which to see the Tetons and other wildlife up close.
The views were beautiful and the weather was fantastic. The rafting company made the experience turnkey from managing getting on the river and off without a hitch. Safety was 1st class and our guide was fantastic telling us stories about the river and surrounding area. Highly recommend this company for a float trip. The trip was changed from the early morning to the afternoon. The company contacted us by email and phone to make sure we received the changes. Great communication on short notice! Very pleased with the experience.

Dan, our guide, exercised the utmost in skills and safety all while telling interesting stories about Grand Teton National Park’s history, wildlife, and other various activities to experience while visiting. He even spotted a moose, beaver, and river otter for us! We absolutely recommend this relaxing cruise down the beautiful Snake River.

We had 10 people on the tour, all were pleasant. Scenery was stunning, as everyone's pics verify. We saw 4 bald eagles in the two hours ... one of them taking a splash bath in the river. And then amazingly, two moose(s?) drinking from the river within 100 yards of our pull-out. Great time, heartily recommend.

The scheduling and signing of waivers were all on line and easy. Instructions were clear about where to meet the crew. There were about 32 people that went, but the rafts were not packed (about 8 people per raft). Everything was on time and organized. We even got help putting on the life vests which are provided. I felt totally safe the entire float. It was so beautiful and was the highlight of our Montana/Wyoming trip. This is well worth the money!

The Float and the float guide (Jack) were a great experience, but pass on the dinner it's not worth the money. The float is very relaxing our guide did an excellent job guiding the tour on a windy day and still spotting lots of wildlife. We did the evening dinner float and the food was not good at all, the chicken breast was burned to a literal black crisp and was inedible, the other offerings were steak, salad, green beans, some diced fried potatoes, and a cookie--none of it standout and certainly not worth the extra money charged for dinner. Take the float, don't invest in the dinner and save the money to tip the guide.

He spotted many wildlife for us. The dinner was the best meal we had during our visit. The steak was cooked perfectly!! I highly recommend this experience!!

What a spectacular float trip we had with Triangle X ranch. Jack was a wonderful guide giving us details about the River, the Tetons and the wildlife! We saw a bill moose with very big “paddles” as Jack called the antlers 😀! We also saw osprey fishing the river with 2 different bald eagles watching from the trees. I think I took 200 pictures of the Tetons. Thank you for a wonderful adventure!!

I highly recommend trying out the snake river float ride offered by Triangle X Ranch.
The sunrise float trip is a top-notch experience that begins at 5:30 AM and lasts around 3 hours. Once you've purchased your tickets online, you'll be instructed to gather at a designated pick-up location. From there, the group will be transported to the starting point of the float ride, where the adventure begins.
This ride provides a unique chance to fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes, pristine waters, and abundant wildlife of the Teton Range. The experience is enriched by friendly and knowledgeable guides who share fascinating insights into the region's ecology and history.
As you leisurely drift along the river, be on the lookout for moose, bald eagles, and other wildlife that inhabit the area. It's an unforgettable opportunity to connect with nature at its finest.
Overall, the Snake River Float ride in Grand Teton seamlessly blends adventure and serenity, creating cherished memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. If you're visiting the park, don't miss the chance to embark on this extraordinary journey.

Wonderful experience! Great views of the Tetons from the Snake. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and pointed out several eagles and moose that were lounging on the riverbank. Our guide maneuvered the raft very well and was very cognizant of safety issues. Would highly recommend!

This trip was amazing! It was an alternative way to see the Tetons. There were no crowds. It was so peaceful and we had front row seats to some of the most beautiful scenery on the earth. Our guide, Jack, was great. He maneuvered the river perfectly and gave us interesting facts along the way. We were blessed to have a moose in the river directly in front of us. It was so awesome to be so close to him and watch him get to shore and get out of the river. The whole trip was an experience I will never forget. I highly recommend this trip! It is so worth it!

My wife and I had a wonderful couple of hours on our scenic raft trip with Turner down the Snake River. We met in Moose for a brief drive upriver to the launch site, and after a short safety briefing and getting into lifejackets, we climbed aboard with our 11 other riders and guide. My first question was quickly answered. We didn't get wet at all. It was a peaceful, leisurely, lovely float for the next 10 miles. Our guide Turner did an outstanding job keeping us in the flow of the water while describing our surroundings. He could spin the raft with ease, allowing for personal pictures with the Teton peaks in the background. He answered every question asked and spotted bald eagles for us to see. Definitely a couple of the best hours spent on our month long vacation. We had such a great time, we had to later stop at the IX Ranch to pick up some swag. Well done to everyone at Triangle X! Well worth our time and expense!

We did the 10 mile float trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The scenery was very beautiful with beginning to show its fall colors! Enjoyed this very much and would highly recommend if you’re in the area!

We had an amazing time on our float trip. Our guide was awesome in navigating a bit of bad weather we had with wind and rain. Even though the weather wasn't perfect, it made for an amazing trip down the river seeing 2 moose, 3 bald eagles and lots of other wildlife. Our guide answered all of our questions and had a ton of knowledge of the park, animals and the Tetons. We would highly recommend Triangle X Ranch for your float trip!
Nestled in the mountains of Jackson, Wyoming lies Granite Hot Springs, a popular attraction for those seeking relaxation and outdoor adventure. The campsite boasts two pools filled with warm spring water rich in minerals, one natural and one man-made. Visitors can enjoy hiking in the nearby Gros Ventre Mountains or fishing in Granite Creek. A short drive away is the picturesque Grand Teton National Park.
This was pretty amazing to swim in the Hot Springs. It's a long 10 mile drive on gravel road deep into the mountains, but the drive itself was absolutely beautiful! The river and mountains are breathtaking and there is a beautiful waterfall that is a must see just before you get to the end of the road at the Hot Springs. Cost was very reasonable and very much worth the drive and I would highly recommend for anyone going through Jackson Hole in the Teton Mountains.

Nice warm water. It got fairly busy while we were there.
They don't have a sign for nudity, but the guy did tell me to put my top on. 🤣
A short walk from the parking lot. Handicapped parking is available closet to the pool.

This is a great place to 'soak' your muscles after a hard hike! There is a changing area upstairs. **Beware, the road is not paved at all; very rocky/large gravel, so if you don't have a 4WD vehicle, expect a long drive ... it took us 45 minutes to drive 10 miles!**

Beautiful mountain drive. The hot springs it self is older and rugged, it has bathroom and changing room. We found a snake in the rocks. Beautiful hiking area.

I loved this experience so much!!! The road was really bumpy and dusty. Make sure you bring cash to pay!!! I would suggest going in the morning or sometime in October when the outside temperatures are cooler. Such a nice and relaxing way to spend my Saturday enjoying the outdoors!

Bring cash! $12 per adult in cash. Great hot springs. Very quiet. Not busy at all. Beautiful.

A perfect little gem! The road was rough, but manageable. Very inexpensive for a days worth of fun! The gentleman who works there, is extremely pleasant and nice. I appreciate that he would answer all of my questions! I would recommend showing up at 10 am when they open, so that you aren't in the heat of the day. Bring a picnic and enjoy!!

Beautiful place. Very warm for daytime swimming in summer. The water is just under 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise, this place is just awesome.

The Swift Creek Outfitters Teton Horseback Adventures offers a breathtaking horseback riding experience in the beautiful wilderness of Grand Teton National Park. Riders of all levels are able to enjoy this unique experience with their own guide, ensuring a safe and fun ride for everyone.
We originally set out do to one of their 2 hour rides, but rain had made the slopes too muddy so we did the 1 hour instead. While we were upset at first, we were glad they made the decision for the our safety and the horses. Our group of 6 was able to have our own guide through the beautiful wilderness. The horses all looked well cared for and were great to ride. I don't remember our guide's name, but he was very friendly and willingly answered all of our questions. I recommend Swift Creek for a great time!

This place is terrific! Our wrangler, Shayla, couldn’t have been any better. Nor could her co wrangler, Mo!
My girls all had the best time of our journey yet.
Shayla even let my granddaughter wear her hat for a final picture after the outstanding ride!
We are not experienced horse people, but they made us feel comfortable and safe on our ride. We did the 2 hour ride across the creek, through the forest and up the mountain to get a fabulous view of the Grand Tetons!
Highly recommend!

We were visiting the Grand Tetons from Richmond Virginia. After reading all the great reviews about this place, we decided to go for it on Friday 9/15 and take the 2 hour trail ride, and I'm SOOOO glad we did! It turned out to be the LAST DAY of trail riding for the season...we were so lucky to catch them before the closed. If you want a serious mountain trail ride with stream crossings, a variety of terrain, from steep to easy and gorgeous views, this is the ride for you. They have something like 180 horses, so you're almost guaranteed a "private ride" which is exactly what we got. All the staff is very friendly, the horses are well cared for and well mannered. Hondo the trail dog kept everybody together :) Bill our guide was awesome and if you just listen to him...you'll learn a lot about the spirit of horses and a different way to look at life in general. It's easily the best trail ride I've ever experienced...worth every penny if not more.

What a great adventure. The horses were super tame. The guide, Levi, was super knowledgeable. We had an amazing time. We had an hour drive out there and back from where we stayed but it was totally worth it. Hondo, their cattle dog, was a love bug!!!

Such a cool experience! I’ve been horseback riding in a few different states & this was my fave! We did the 2 hour ride & it was pretty cool. We went through fields, up & down hills & rocks, went through the woods & then went through a river twice! It was awesome! Our horses end up trotting a lot which is cool so your not just walking the whole time. Always wish I can gallop, but nope. Our guide Beth was super sweet & I can’t wait to go back!

If you’re looking for a top notch trail ride while visiting the Tetons, you’ve now found it! My husband and I loved our ride through the river and up a mountain culminating in a spectacular view of the Tetons! Our guide, Levi, wasn’t just personable, but he was exceptionally knowledgeable and was a great conversationalist as well. He took us out on a private ride which enhanced our ability to converse and learn from his breadth of experience. This was, without a doubt, the best trail ride experience we’ve ever had!

We are extremely happy we found the wonderful folks at Swift Creek Outfitters. Our rental spot was in Cody so we had plenty of time to get there with no reservation necessary. Our ride started within 15 minutes of our arrival and we had Levi for our wrangler/guide. Their horses are amazing. We learned lots about the area from him and Chelsie, and I'd sure like to try an elk hunt in the fall with them.

We were a party of 3 on a Saturday morning. They were quick to greet us and get us out on the horses. Our two guides, Bradley and Matt were fantastic! They were knowledgable about the horses and area and very engaging. My two young adult kids said this was the best riding experience they have ever had! The water crossing was exciting, the views at the top of "Big Daddy" were breathtaking and the dog Rita who accompanied us from base camp was the unofficial leader of the pack! Highly recommended! This outfitter is a bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth the detour to get there!

OMG the best horse back riding experience we had anywhere !! Totally worth the drive. We took the Little Pulpit ride which doesn't required any experience. We were with our kids of 7 and 9 and they had no experience. They selected perfectly the right horses for them to ride and the loved it. Uou have a fantastic trail with an amazing view on Grand Tetons. You go a bit downhill, cross a river and have a nice ride trough the forest. An unforgettable family experience with super professional guide. Don't miss it.

My boyfriend and I went on the 2.5 hour “grand daddy” tour over Labor Day weekend. He was worried about getting there early, since they don’t take reservations, but it was not a problem. The Outfitters have a lot of horses that are saddled and ready to go when you get there. This ride was beautiful, but also not for the faint of heart. My boyfriend and I both have some experience riding (we’re not expert by any means), but there were some areas of the trail that were quite steep going up and down. We went deep into the woods and came out on a high ridge just below the top of the mountain with stunning views all around us. Our guide, Bill, was superb and provided little tips on how to guide the horses through the terrain, as well as interesting conversation. He was also very knowledgeable about the area, and pointed out various other features that we saw. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip and if we’re ever in the area again, we plan to schedule another ride with them!

I had an amazing time on the 2 hour Big Grand View horseback trail ride with Swift Creek Outfitters in the Bridger Teton National forest! Bill was an excellent guide telling us facts about the Tetons, the forest and the creatures that roam within. I rode Dixie, a fantastic mare for a beginner like me. We rode up some steep inclines at a good clip, knocked my glasses right off my head! (Thanks Bill for retrieving them for me😀). Bill taught us how to manage the steps and steep descents, we even had to do a little bush wracking to get around a fallen tree on the path. I felt safe the entire time and had an adventure of a lifetime! 100% recommend Swift Creek Outfitters!!!

We had a wonderful experience riding with Swift Creek! Our guide, Matt, made the ride very enjoyable and always made sure we were okay and having fun. Bingo, Dandy and Lt. Dan were fabulous horses! We are already looking forward to coming back next year and riding again.

This was a fun ride. I wouldn't recommend the 3 hour unless you really have the experience only because you will really feel it when you're done. The trail was neat with varied terrain that made it fun to ride on. The guides were knowledgeable and skilled. We had a great time!

We went on the two hour beginner ride package. Approximately $85+ per person. It was our first time horseback riding, so definitely no experts here. I was lucky to get Miss Valentine who was very good. Whenever I just say “Let’s Go Girl”, she will automatically follow the horse in front. But some of my friend’s horses were very naughty and uncontrollable, so the experience was not as fun for them.
PSA there will be a lot of mosquitoes. Got bites that itched for days.

We arrived with nine gals with various levels of experience looking to do a 2hr trail ride at 10am on a Friday morning. The staff was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating - I knew nothing about the company prior to coming out to Wyoming, and they lived up to their great reviews. We were on horses and on our way within 30 minutes of arrival (which is great for a large group) and our guide was both helpful and explanatory. Can’t say enough good things. The views were gorgeous and this was by far a trip highlight for everyone!
