Itinerary

Day 1 Jackson

Jackson is in Northwest Wyoming, close to the south end of Grand Teton National Park. It is the gateway to two of the United States' best-known national parks, Grand Teton itself and nearby Yellowstone. Many famous people maintain vacation homes in and around this area. The combined elements of beautiful mountain scenery, Old West heritage, tourist traps and celebrity residents give this small town a unique atmosphere both cosmopolitan and frontier. "Jackson" is the name of the town, while "Jackson Hole" refers to either the greater valley area or the Jackson Hole Ski Resort. Salt Lake City, Utah, served by several major airlines, is about a five hour drive from Jackson.

You will be provided with a pre-departure package which will include all necessary information that you will need for your trip including materials such as vouchers, maps, train tickets (if relevant) etc.

Enjoy a private transfer between your Teton Village area hotel and Jackson Hole airport.

There are so many things to do that can fill your days while you are at Jackson - the difficult thing will be to decide what to do! Options include hot air ballooning, a hunting trip, jeep tours, Llama packing (hiking with a llama carrying your back pack!), miniature golf, mountaineering, a photography excursion, horseback riding, biking, boating, chuck wagon dinners, fishing, river float trips, hiking, golf, elk bugling - Fall foliage tour, alpine slide (an exhilarating slide down Snow King Mountain). At night time, the playhouse theatres often have entertaining performances. Please speak to your Sales Advisor if you are interested in any of these optional activities.

Spring Creek Ranch, a year-round luxury resort, is located on a wildlife sanctuary, almost 1,000 feet above the town of Jackson, with spectacular views of the Teton Mountain Range, including the world famous 13,700 foot Grand Teton. The resort is the proud recipient of the prestigious Conde' Nast Traveler Gold List designation. According to the Robb Report of the Top Ten Family and Corporate Retreats in October 2004, Spring Creek Ranch is described as "Luxury with rustic flair surrounds guests in authentic cowboy country."

Day 6 Jackson

Transfer using a local taxi (available and economical).

Spend the morning hiking some of the most beautiful areas of the Jackson Hole Valley on a shared tour with a naturalist guide who can take you on a scenic trip up the tram at Teton Village to spend the morning alpine hiking with spectacular valley views or into meadows of the valley that offer majestic views of the surrounding mountain ranges. After your naturalist educates you on plants, wildlife and geological history of the area, it is then time to take your newfound knowledge to the Grand Canyon of the Snake River for your white-water rafting adventure. The hike and raft trip includes transportation from meeting spots for both activities. The hike includes bottled water, snacks, and the use of fanny packs, backpacks, binoculars, and rain ponchos. The morning hike leaves at 8am and gets back around 12pm with the white-water rafting trip leaving around 1:30 and getting back to town around 5pm. You can do these activities on two separate days.
