We want your stay in Jackson Hole to be the adventure of a lifetime - hike, bike, or just take in the scenery during the day and join us at the theatre to complete your adventure. After all- "No adventure is quite complete without a sword fight and a little pixie dust". Here is what you can look forward to: Grand Teton National Park, established in 1929, lies within the scenic mountain valley known as Jackson Hole. Grand Teton National Park's trademark is the jaggedly impressive Teton Range that dominates your view to the west from nearly any vantage point within the park. The Grand Teton stands at the center of the range at 13,770-ft., nearly 7,500 feet above the valley floor. GTNP is open year-round, though most facilities are open only from May through October. For current information about the park, please visit http://www.nps.gov/grte/ or call 307-739-3300. Yellowstone's trademark is its geothermal wonders and its abundant wildlife. The Old Faithful Geyser is the most well known feature among the park's 10,000 hot springs and geysers. There are 5 National Park Service campgrounds with sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. All campgrounds tend to fill up quickly in the summer, some as early as 8 a.m. Gros Ventre campground is usually the last to fill, more because of its location off the main highway than anything else. Jenny Lake campground will nearly always fill up by 8 a.m. on a summer day. The National Park Service Web site, www.nps.gov/grte, will provide you with all the details on camping in GTNP. Weather: If you are enjoying the outdoors in Grand Teton National Park and around Jackson Hole, please keep in mind that weather in this area is unpredictable. A sunny, warm day in the park can quickly turn to a cool, rainy endeavor. Layering is a word that locals know well, and visitors would be wise to be so prepared. Temperatures are generally mild in the summer with daytime highs in the upper 70's and occasionally low-to-mid 80's. Evenings are always cool, routinely dipping into the 30's overnight. Winter temperatures in the park are what you would expect in a high mountain valley. December and January are generally the coldest months, with overnight lows often near zero degrees. Daytime highs in January are generally in the 20's. |
