Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, dotted with positively pristine lakes, and home to some of the west’s most amazing wild animals, this is Grand Teton National Park. Welcome. During your five day journey you’ll float down the Snake River and hike, bike and skate your days away. Come sunset, you’ll be treated to a variety of satisfying meals and have the chance to quench your thirst with fresh craft brews and new friends.
Have you always dreamed of exploring a gorgeous National Park? Here’s the perfect chance. Let us take care of all the details; your only task is to have the adventure you’ve been dreaming of for years!
Humans have inhabited the Grand Teton area for over 10,000 years; soon you’ll see why. Your excursion through this 96,000-acre park begins with an introductory guided float down the Snake River. Over the next four days you’ll enjoy morning skates against a stunning backdrop, afternoon hikes, with the option of kayaking, canoeing or even standup paddleboarding. You’ll have the chance to take part in a fun group bike ride, and you’ll even ride a tram up to nearly 10,500 feet where you’ll be rewarded with amazing panoramic views and a variety of hikes and mileages.
Every evening you’ll enjoy comradery, good eats, and some local craft brew. Then, when it’s time to rejuvenate, you’ll lay your head down at the contemporary, yet decidedly western, Lexington Hotel located in the heart of Jackson, WY.
Remember, just as on all our skating and biking tours, we have three routes from which you can choose each day: short, medium, and long. One of your guides will drive the support van and be ready to give you a lift any time you’d like. Bikers are welcome to join us and bike on the skating portions of the tour.
Accommodations
We will be staying at the Lexington Hotel for the duration of our five day Jackson, Wyoming adventure. The Lexington hotel has been family owned for over 40 years, providing its guests with the perfect blend of western hospitality and modern luxury. Located at the heart of historic downtown Jackson, where we will enjoy a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment, the Lexington Hotel is just 1.5 blocks from Jackson’s famous Town Square. Prefer to take it easy? Then unwind in the indoor hot tub, take a dip in the pool, or lounge in the hotel’s great-room.

Do you have any pictures of this tour?
We do not have photos of this tour as we just developed it for next year. The landscape in Jackson & Grand Teton National park is absolutely breathtaking!
The itinerary lists Day 3 as a biking day. Can the skaters skate that 22-mile loop, or is it bike-only? If so, would skaters have to rent a bike for that day?
Hi Phil: We rent bikes for everyone on the morning of Day 3 and this cost is included in the trip price. The road conditions on much of that 22-mile loop are not idea for skating, unfortunately!
Sounds like a great trip. We can’t wait! Officially this will be our 6th trip unless you add in our junior Zephyr guide days on the Minnesota tour.
Joni — can’t wait to show you around! :)
