To ski or not to ski… It’s no question that Jackson Hole is one of the country’s top downhill ski destinations, but that’s certainly not the only thing to do here. If you find yourself worn out from hitting the slopes, or if you’re just looking for something different to do, we’ve put together a list of some excellent off-day activities for you and your family or friends.

Outdoor Adventures

Snowshoeing & Cross-Country Skiing

Showcasing unforgettable vistas, the Teton Park Road is one of our favorite places to go snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter — open from the Taggart Lake Trailhead to the Signal Mountain Lodge.

Teton Thai is a casual go-to for authentic Thai food — and if the sun is out, the patio is fantastic!

Need some new gear? We suggest stopping by Stio, a great locally-owned shop for outdoor apparel.

Belle Cose is a charming boutique at the Four Seasons that offers a bit of everything, from home accessories to clothing to jewelry.

Looking for a laid-back place to relax and get a beer? The local brewery scene in Jackson is top-notch. We suggest checking out what’s on tap at Snake River Brewing Co. and Roadhouse.

Not only does Snake River Roasting Co. serve great coffee (get the Claus Latte), but they also have a dynamite breakfast and lunch menu (the Bison Sausage Breakfast Sandwich is a must-have).

Ever had a waffle at 10,000 feet? You need to. Grab your family and friends and take the aerial tram up to the top of Rendezvous Mountain at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Top of the World Waffles at Corbet’s Cabin is essential. 

We also recommend taking the gondola up to the top of Snow King Mountain for a drink and a snack at the Panorama House. The view is spectacular!

Bundle up for Autumn in Yellowstone

Yellowstone National Park’s 150th summer celebrations were sadly met with flash flooding that tore through the Northern region of the park, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Support poured into the park and the affected gateway towns and communities in the months that followed. In turn, Yellowstone was able to reopen quickly, exemplifying the dedication our country still has to the preservation of our protected lands. With the busiest season now behind us, the park remains open to visitors ready to bundle up against Western fall and experience the magic of autumn in Yellowstone.

While visiting Yellowstone in the summer has its perks (warmth, sunshine, camping), there’s nothing quite like autumn in the park. Enjoy a moody drive along the canyon with a third of the crowds, allowing you enjoy the fall foliage, steam hanging over the thermal features, and a better chance the see wildlife migration before they hibernate for winter. Now is the best time to see a grizzly bear hunched over her kill, spot an antelope prancing through the sagebrush, or hear the elks buggling at night. Book a tour with JH Wildlife Safaris or JH EcoTour Adventures for an elevated tour through Yellowstone, and be sure to contact us for a discount code when staying in an Outpost vacation rental home.

If you’re looking for a less structured Yellowstone experience, we recommend planning a stop at Mammoth Hot Springs. After a long, dreary mist filled day, there’s nothing like soaking in the warmth of these naturally fed hot springs. Just 5 miles down the road lies charming Gardiner, MT. As the community recovers from the aftermath from the July flooding, continued support for their local businesses is crucial. We recommend stopping by their many antique shops and grabbing a few postcards to send to your friends and family. Make sure to check for any new road closures before you head north.

With snow, rain, and sometimes even sunshine filling our skies throughout the months of October and November, it’s the perfect time to fill your lungs with nostalgic, crisp autumn air. Take a drive through Yellowstone National Park, maybe stop for a brisk walk, and return home to snuggle up to season 5 of the TV show, “Yellowstone.” Who knows, you might even spot some familiar sights!

Celebrating the Grand American West

The Quick Draw on Town Square

Jagged peaks spring from the valley floor; turquoise waters lay shrouded in steam, trapped within golden mineral prisms; canyons tear through rock and root, opening the earth to roaring waters that rush through its plummeting cliff walls. When Thomas Moran and his companions in the 1871 Hayden Expedition first set out for what is today Yellowstone National Park, their goal was to gather proof of this legendary landscape to help advocate for its protection and preservation. Crucial to the establishment of our nation’s first national park, the images that captured our surroundings, dramatic in both scale and scope, helped to ignite western migration, resulting in the America we know today. 

Since then, painters and photographers have flocked to Jackson Hole to try their hand at bringing the iconic, grand American West to life. With glittering aspen trees and swaying prairie grasses gently framing our sky-piercing peaks, turquoise prisms, and earth-torn canyons, our valley shimmers in golden hues throughout the month of September, offering a backdrop to inspire artists and voyers alike. From September 7th-18th, join us in celebrating art inspired by our stunning surroundings during Jackson’s annual Fall Arts Festival.

Summer is in Full Swing in Jackson Hole

Adrenaline-fueled shrieks of laughter reverberate through the Hoback canyon as fleets of rafts splash through the whitewater. At each of the four corners of Town Square, friends, lovers, and families cling to each other as they pose under the iconic antler arches. Throughout the evenings, joyful sounds of live music spill onto the streets. Summer is in full swing in Jackson Hole. 

Summer revelers white water raft down the Snake River.

We’re all holding on to that insatiable summer energy and appetite. Bouncing from one activity to the next, there’s a gentle reminder of cooler days to come hanging in the air. It’s time to recharge before the school year and take advantage of every day you have left. With an abundance of summer activities, concerts, and events to enjoy, there’s no better way to fill your last days of summer than in the mountains of Jackson Hole. 

Traveling with a group? Choose an Outpost vacation rental in Teton Village as the home base for your vacation. From mountain biking to rope courses, hikes, spas, and so much more, there are a plethora of activities just footsteps from your door when staying in our luxurious Granite Ridge Chateau, Shooting Star Lodge 1, or Timber Ridge 9 homes. Located at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, these homes are ideal for large group getaways. In the evenings, take advantage of the exceptional lineup of musicians playing through the end of August at the Grand Teton Music Festival, as well as the many wonderful dining options in Teton Village. 

If you want your August getaway closer to downtown Jackson, we recommend booking your stay at one of our One Town Hill condominiums, East Gill 4, or Grand View 5140. Each home features a unique style and offers that home-away-from-home experience for all visitors. Stay within walking distance of the rodeo, live music and line dancing at the famous Cowboy Bar, a large array of fabulous restaurants, and everything else that August in Jackson Hole has to offer. 

If you’re looking for a more secluded experience of the Tetons, the Teton Retreat, Golf Creek 35, or Teton Shadows Owen E Outpost vacation rentals are perfect for you. While each boasts unique and stunning Teton views, these homes will also give you the space you desire, with the convenience of an easy drive to downtown, Teton Village, and Grand Teton National Park. Bonus: one perk of being more secluded is the increased likelihood of wildlife sightings!

While we wish there was a way to slow down the clock, our sun-filled days of summer in the mountains are beginning to feel numbered. The best way to stretch out the time is to use every last day of summer that you can. We can’t imagine a better way to do so than a summer getaway right here in beautiful Jackson Hole.
