Health Tips

Drink Smart
The effects of alcohol are dramatically increased at altitude. At Jackson Hole’s elevation of 6,200 feet above sea level, the effect of alcohol will be approximately double for the sea level inhabitant.
Drink Water
Dehydration occurs much more frequently in Jackson Hole than sea level locations since our relative humidity is very low.
Bring Bear Spray
Remember to bring bear spray with you on any hikes in the area. Click here for more info on use and other safety tips.

  • Chapel of the Sacred Heart, hosts Catholic Mass on Saturday and Sunday at 5pm. Other religious services are also available in town.

Film & Photography Permits in the National Parks

You do not need a film permit as long as you qualify within the “Low Impact Filming” guidelines. Specifically: five people per less and one camera/tripod setup—everything handheld. This must take place in areas open to the general public.  You must follow all Park rules and regulations that apply to all visitors, including compliance with park hours and closed areas. You may not film in Wilderness Managed Areas (which include everything west of the lakes). Park in established parking areas and turnouts. Use only natural light. Do not impede the experiences of other Park visitors. Do not film in/at Visitor Centers, campgrounds, and other high use areas. Respect the required distances and do not approach or distress any animals. Do not even think about using a drone. You are responsible for knowing the rules (or you will be cited), so please check with the park staff for information on closures, sensitive resources, and other safety tips. For more specific details read the Park film/photography webpage.

We have obtained a Special Use Permit for the Excursions with manufacturers. You can download a copy of this here.
Hikes & Excursions (note: bear spray is advised in most locations for good reason):
In GTNP: Phelps Lake, Delta Lake, Garnet Lake, Jenny Lake and Cascade Canyon, String Lake to Leigh Lake
White Grass Ranch
Snake River Dike and Rendezvous Park
The Old Pass Road in Wilson
Teton Pass
Cache Creek
Astoria Hot Springs Park: Just lovely. Private/semi-private pools about 15 miles south, into the Snake River Canyon. Swimsuits required.
​
Bike Rentals
​

Jackson Hole is one of the 10 most bike-friendly cities in the US with a 67-mile pathways system that extends Town north and into GTNP (the most bike-friendly National Park), west to Teton Village and south. E-bikes are also popular and legal on the pathways and the mountain biking here is fantastic and varied, with a fab mountain bike park at Teton Village.  Here is a good resource for rentals, maps and more.
River Trips 
​

Autumn is a particularly incredible time for scenic river rafting and guided fly fishing trips, with some of the most beautiful extending through Grand Teton National Park. There are many wonderful companies to choose from, and if you want to get a bit more adventurous, kayak, canoe and SUP rentals/guides are available, as well.
Wildlife Expeditions
​

Private and group expeditions into Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park are still running, and the wildlife this time of year are on the move, showy and wonderful.
The Arts Scene
From Thomas Moran to Ansel Adams, the wild landscapes of northwestern Wyoming have inspired generations of artists, and there is a vibrant creative community that may surprise you. With the National Museum of Wildlife Art, as well as more than 60 galleries in the community, Jackson Hole has a remarkable legacy.
  • National Museum of Wildlife Art - The Wyoming Women exhibit in the galleries at the Center for the Arts
  • JH Public Art: Current highlights include a DIY walking tour of the Wild Wills--Alley Murals exhibit, and Mama Mimi—a giant troll recycled sculpture installation at Rendezvous Park.
