Road Trip to Jackson Hole

Ahhhh the open road. Windows rolled down, tunes turned up, breathtaking views, and close friends to keep the vibes high as you drive through some of the most beautiful parts of America.

Some of my fondest memories are of road trips with family and friends. They provide the perfect opportunity to learn more about your loved ones, expand your music taste, eat at local hole-in-the-wall restaurants you would have never tried otherwise, and truly experience the country and all of its natural beauties. And with the scenery you'll encounter on your drive to Jackson Hole, you'll realize that the extra time spent on travel is really just extra time to kick back and relax on vacation.

Remember how excited you were when you got your car? I bet it put a smile on your face every time you got behind the wheel of your new ride. But if you're like most people, you let that car sit unused 95% of the time. Isn't that a little sad? Reignite your excitement and get some use out of that expensive purchase. And if stepping into your vehicle never actually put a smile on your face, I bet a road trip to Jackson Hole will change that. Picture this: the sun is shining, a refreshing breeze circulates through the open windows, you catch up with your best friend as they play their new favorite album, which quickly becomes your favorite too. You stop for the night to explore a town you've never been to. You think it can't get better, but the drive only improves as you get closer to your destination. Your car winds through curvy mountain roads where breathtaking vistas never cease to amaze you around each bend. Wildflowers spring from the earth, bald eagles fly overhead, and wildlife such as bears, moose, bison, and elk roam within view. You feel as if you've been transported into a nature documentary and you notice you've been smiling for miles. And then you reach your destination and meet the mountain that keeps you engaged with endless levels of adventure around every bend, and realize the fun has only just begun.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is your key to sky-high rides, scenic hikes through vibrant wildflowers, and Via Ferrata climbs that conquer. Lifts and trails offer unparalleled access to boundless views atop the Tetons, while newly developed downhill mountain bike trails are set to challenge and reward. Explore our exhilarating summer activities and experience what makes us more than a mountain.
