2. Snowmobiling
If you want to get closer to the beautiful Wyoming wilderness, hop on the back of a snowmobile. Another favorite recreational activity, choose between a single-day tour or a multi-day adventure across the Continental Divide Trail System— the number one ranking snowmobile terrain in the country
3. Dog Sledding
If you’re looking to do something unique this winter, we recommend trying out a sled that’s being pulled by a team of Alaskan Huskies. Jackson Hole is home to a few mushers that offer a wide range of options for your dog-driven journey. Depending on your desired level of exposure, you can choose between half-day, full-day, and multi-overnight rides.
4. Sleigh Rides
Sleigh rides are available from December 15th to April 6th providing you with the rare chance to interact with wildlife of the National Elk Refuge in their natural habitat. The refuge has 25,000 acres of protected land where large Elk herds roam during the winter months. Visitors from all over come to Jackson Hole to partake in this time-honored tradition.
5. Snowshoeing
Just because there’s snow on the ground, doesn’t mean that you can’t go for a hike. Jackson Hole Eco Tour Adventures offers snowshoeing tours during the winter. These half-day snowshoeing tours take guests through the rolling terrain of the Grand Teton backcountry as they follow close behind an experienced tour guide.
