What are the most thrill-seeking summer activities in Jackson Hole?

White Water Rafting

Snake River Canyon, just south of Jackson Hole, is home to Multiple Class III rapids. Each exhilarating stretch is followed by calm sections, making it perfect for beginners and seasoned rafters. As you travel through the canyon, you’ll be surrounded by Jackson Hole’s stunning scenery and wildlife. With several professional rafting tours in the area, there’s a trip for everyone!

Paragliding

Want to see Jackson Hole from above? Soar over the valley and the Teton and Snake River ranges on a tandem flight departing from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort each morning starting at 7:45 AM. There’s nothing more freeing than gliding through the crisp alpine air, taking in panoramic views of the land below.

Via Ferrata

The Jackson Hole Via Ferrata offers a summer adventure high above the valley floor, guided by expert instructors. Climbers use metal rungs, ladders, and hanging bridges to scale alpine routes while securely tethered to safety cables. With 15 unique routes, including new climbs in the iconic Corbet’s Couloir, the experience brings the spirit of the Alps to the Tetons.

JHMR Bike Park

Experience mountain biking through the Tetons this summer on JHMR’s premier track, offering trails for all levels. Ride thrilling jump tracks or scenic forest routes, then catch the Teewinot Chairlift or Sweetwater Gondola for another lap.

Pro Tip: Time your trip for spring or early summer when the rivers are high and the trails are open!
