General presentation
Grand Teton et Jackson
The steep chain, lakes and valley inhabited by abundant wildlife.
The discovery of Grand Teton and Jackson revolves around Jenny Lake, Oxbow Bend and Mormon Row. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, shores and lakes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 4 to 9 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Mormon Row
Mormon Row conserves barns and farm buildings aligned against the Tetons, in an open plain of Jackson Hole. The contrast between old wood, simple fences and steep mountains explains the strength of the place, especially early in the morning when the light strikes the facades and peaks.
Nature and landscape
Jenny Lake
Jenny Lake lies at the direct foot of the Tetons, so close to the walls that the peaks seem to fall into the water. Snorkel boats, trails to Hidden Falls and views of Cascade Canyon make it a popular place, but the morning often keeps a quiet and sharp light.
Place indismissible
Oxbow Bend
Oxbow Bend draws a wide meandering of the Snake River in front of Mount Moran, one of the best known framings of Grand Teton Slow water reflects peaks in calm weather, while beavers, waterfowl, moose or bear may appear in the willows and surrounding meadows.
Place indismissible
Jackson Town Square
Jackson Town Square concentrates the western image of the city, with its elk wooden arches, shops, galleries and lively sidewalks. Grand Teton, the square brings back to an atmosphere of mountain village very tourist but living, convenient for dinner or strolling.
