[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Headed to Jackson Hole in June - What should we do?

Posted: 1/27/2020 4:35:49 PM EDT

My wife and I will be in Jackson Hole in June for a trip she has with work(mostly fun and no work). The "work" portion is Thursday-Sunday and will have some excursions built in. After Sunday we plan to rent a vehicle and stay in the area for at least 4-5 more days before returning home. We will definitely visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks but was wondering what else might be interesting to see/do while we are in the area? Any can't miss spots?

Just be aware it is expensive. So make sure you have plenty of cash handy.

I figured it would be expensive. We take a "4th of July" trip every year and it's figured into our budget so I should be covered there.

June is a good time for a raft trip on the Snake. Scenic float up in the Park, or whitewater trip down in the Canyon.

Yep, a whitewater trip down the snake is definitely on the list. What class of rapids on the Snake?

Thanks!

3, 3+, depending on CFS. Should be high in June, and exciting.
I had no hesitation in taking my kids through the Canyon in my raft by the time they were 5.

To the east of the northern part of jellystone are the beartooth mountains. The mountains and alpine lakes there just as nice as the tetons but totally different.

Raft the snake, ride the tram to the top in the village, go on a wildlife safari.

Hike to the lakes: Phelps for the jump, Taggart for the view. Rent SUP's and take them from string to Leigh.

Hike Snow King, fly fish, go shoot with JH shooting experience.

Fly fishing in the Snake and get your start on the Cutthroat Slam.

Geez, that place is EXPENSIVE! $750 to shoot 150 clays? Is there a shortage on clay targets out there or something? Here that would cost about $150-200 with a very nice shotgun rental.

There's a good one, thanks!

I’d inquire about their machine guns. But yes. It’s all expensive, welcome to Jackson.

No shortage. That's just Jackson. Hell, everyone I know that works in Jackson, doesn't live in Jackson, they live in Idaho. Because Jackson is so damn expensive.

I live in Jackson.

Combined family income under 100k. It’s been fun but yea housing and activities can be expensive.

That's crazy high though. I expected some tourist level pricing but, I'm surprised at those numbers.
