Jackson Hole Aerial Tram

Posted on: May 22nd, 2019 by thcAdmin No Comments

Open until October 9, 2018

The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram located in Teton Village offers dramatic views of the valley. A ride to the summit of Rendevous Mountain delivers you to 10450′ above sea level in about 18 minutes. There are a number of hiking trails that can be accessed from the summit. People will often use the tram to gain elevation and access trails for multi-day expeditions that extend into Grand Teton Nation Park.

Marmots are often seen scurrying around once you reach the summit. You are immersed in the Teton Range. On clear days views will extend into Idaho, additionally you can view the Absoroka, Gros Ventre, Big Hole, and Snake River Mountain Ranges. The braided channels of the Snake River lie before you on the valley floor. Wildlife is often spotted on both the ride up and down on the tramway. The tram depart about every 20 minutes.

Grab a waffle at Corbet’s Cabin while soaking up the views. The waffles are often worth the trip alone. Click for more Summer Tram Information. After checking out “the top of the world,” spend some time checking out the base area. Teton Village has remained quite quaint in comparison to other major ski resorts, there is plenty to do, with an ever expanding array of activities being offered.

In the next few years some big changes will be occurring at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, creating an even more diverse atmosphere.

July 21-30, 2017

The Teton County Fair signals the heart of Summer in Jackson Hole. The fair grounds will be humming with activity all week long making this possibly the most entertaining time to visit in Summer. Visitors to area will find all the usual fair delights; rides, 4-H displays, livestock, petting zoo, nightly entertainment. The nightly events including the rodeo, live music, pig wrestling, figure 8 races and more. Parking at the fairgrounds is $10.

There is a food court located inside the main fair grounds with all of your usual delights. I recommend not missing out on some local fixin’s over by the events tent. Located on Snow King Ave., the tent hosts talent shows etc. throughout the day, which provides some entertainment while dining. You will find a large grassy area with some picnic tables located near the “Big Top” events tent.

My favorite is the philly cheese steaks or cheeseburgers at the Rocky Mountain Ministries food booth.

A collection of rides and games can be found around the fair’s “midway” that are sure to thrill children and adults.

Figure 8 Races seem to be a big hit with locals and visitors. In years past the Demolition Derby was the Sunday night featured event. Soon after the introduction of of the Figure 8’s, it replaced the Derby.

This event combines the smash and crash of a derby with a little finese. Cars race around a figure 8 track where “rubbin’ is racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

Shift JH

Posted on: September 30th, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

 October 11-13, 2013

Shift is slated to be an annual festival, held each October in Jackson, Wyoming. The focus of the event is to celebrate the central role of conservation in Jackson Hole. Shift’s mission is to inspire communities to preserve the natural capital that is vital to their economic success. The festival is designed to accomplish two goals: to help conservation-oriented communities, organizations, and individuals worldwide begin to develop the framework for 21st century conservation efforts, while simultaneously enhancing the local economy during its traditionally slow fall season.

The 2013 Shift Festival, which will be held on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 11-13, will be a limited, localized event that establishes the programming and framework for the full launch in October 2014. We encourage you to come out and see what this festival has to offer. Three nights of programming will use food, music and film to explore the intersection of conservation with nature, culture and adventure.

The Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism  Joint Powers Board has heavily invested in this event in hopes of creating something to boost the local economy during a slower time in the valley.
