Ahhh—hiking in Jackson Hole. You’ve got so many choices, given a decade you probably couldn’t hike everything. I’ve lived here almost 20 years and I still discover great new hikes every summer.
If you’re passing through and only have a few days, don’t miss these 10 hikes in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. A blend of tough and easy, long and short, all are, for one reason or another, awesome.
10. Snow King

Short, sweet, and steep. Just .8-mile from the Town Square, Snow King is the valley’s summertime social hub. Because it can be done in a long lunch hour, expect to see lots of people, and twice as many dogs! Snow King is popular not only because it’s right downtown, but also because there’s a lift you can ride down to save your knees. It’s $5 per ride and comes with priceless views of the valley, Flat Creek, the National Elk Refuge, the entire Teton Range, and, on clear days, even some of Yellowstone’s mountains.
