The Tetons rise straight out of the sagebrush of Jackson Hole, with glacier-carved lakes at their feet and moose, bison, and bears in the valley below. This guide helps you plan one, two, or three days there: which trailheads to reach early, how the Jenny Lake shuttle boat works, which hikes fit your energy, and where to watch for wildlife. It's written for the summer of 2027, around the Taggart Lake and Death Canyon trailhead closures.

What's inside

  • Nine ready-made itineraries: one, two, and three days, each at easy, moderate, and strenuous effort, from Mormon Row and Hidden Falls to the String Lake Loop, Inspiration Point, Phelps Lake, Cascade Canyon, and Amphitheater Lake, each with a weather backup
  • The valley's history, from the Native nations who hunted and gathered here to homesteaders, dude ranchers, Rockefeller, and the long fight for the park
  • Sightseeing highlights: Moose, Mormon Row, the Snake River turnouts, Jenny Lake, Oxbow Bend, Jackson Lake Lodge, and Colter Bay
  • A wildlife chapter profiling 15 animals, from moose, elk, and bison to black and grizzly bears and white pelicans, each with a photograph and notes on where and when to look
  • Trip planning for seasons, construction closures, fees, lodging and camping, bear safety, accessibility, and pets
  • 37 photographs and 6 orientation maps
