Snowshoeing in Jackson Hole: A Peaceful Winter Adventure for All Ages
Snowshoeing offers a peaceful way to explore Jackson Hole’s winter landscapes, far from the crowds. It’s an activity for everyone—easy to learn, low-impact, and perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Today’s snowshoes are lightweight and easy to use, and adding ski poles can provide extra balance on snowy trails. Guided snowshoe tours are available throughout the valley, offering a chance to experience serene forests, wildlife tracks, and stunning mountain views. Whether you're looking for a quiet solo trek or a fun group outing, snowshoeing is a relaxing way to connect with nature and enjoy the magic of winter.
Where to Snowshoe:
Snowshoes excel at reaching locations too tricky for skis—through thick trees or over uneven terrain. That makes snowshoeing the perfect tool for tracking animals through the woods and along river bottoms, or for anyone craving a little more stability in their snow sports.
Bradley and Taggart Lakes - This pair of lakes tucked hard against the Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park is ideal snowshoeing terrain. Trace a pair of loops beside either or both lakes over rolling, timber-covered hills. Follow the well-packed trails or venture into the untracked to get a close-up view of the stunning peaks all to yourself.
Cache Creek -- Just a 10-minute drive from Jackson’s Town Square, this five-mile, pet-friendly trail is an urban haven, filled with pristine winter views and wildlife encounters. The out-and-back route rises gradually for 1,200 feet and is ideal for jaunts of a half-day to a few hours.
