The key to the best road trips is balance. You must strategically plan the drives and the fun, the hikes and the adventures. Like many families who want to explore the national parks of Yellowstone and Glacier, we put great effort into orchestrating the pieces that everyone wants to access like glamping, thrill seeking, ranch life and animal viewing. Flights and car rentals to this area of the world sell out months in advance, so get your flights and cars sorted out early when planning your road trip!

Jackson Hole, Grand Teton and Yellowstone is a fantastic destination to spend in the great outdoors. The natural beauty of this part of the country is absolutely breathtaking. It's an amazing family adventure for groups of all ages.

Jackson Hole is one of the premiere ski resorts in the country, and I recommend it to everyone who asks me where to ski or snowboard out west!

Why? Because the Jackson Hole Ski Resort does it right, they understand hospitality and the importance of creating a seamless experience for their guests.

The best way they do this is by limiting the number of skiers on the mountain each day. This means no lift lines or crowded trails. Combine all this with challenging and technical terrain, along with epic views (you are in the Grand Tetons, after all!) and you have the makings of an incredible ski or snowboarding trip.

Yellowstone National Park is home to some of the most beautiful views in the country. Stepping into this park is like stepping into a postcard. Between the beautiful views, the landscapes unlike no other and the various animals, this park is one not to miss. Although you could spend an entire week in this park doing various hikes and adventures, this guide will take you through Yellowstone National Park in 2 days and ensures you hit all the highlights!

My girlfriends and I had the time of our lives exploring Jackson Hole and Yellowstone! Every twist and turn brought new thrills, and we couldn't get enough of it. From our accidental 20-mile trek in the Tetons to the amazing glamping experience in Yellowstone, we were all about the laughs and adventure. Despite the world doing its own thing, our trip was the perfect chance for us to bond even more. Check out the five-day itinerary we followed below!

Jackson Hole is having a moment. Urbanites like myself have long been lured to the mountain west to escape, looking for tranquility, connection with nature, and experiences that we can’t have in our concrete jungles. Each year, Jackson Hole goes through four major metamorphoses and emerges in each season as a new but familiar version of itself, beckoning visitors to be out of doors no matter what the temperature. Jackson Hole is an all-seasons destination that you should consider for your next getaway - cowboy boots optional.

Jackson Hole is an outdoor playground with magnificent scenery that is unmatched and should be seen by all. It offers something for everyone. Push your limits by trying out a new adventure or deepen an existing passion, the options are endless. The town of Jackson offers a quaint and cozy feel with all the amenities one would need and an array of shops and dining. It provided my family and I with a unique experience mingling the best of nature, adventure and relaxation.

Few places are more glorious in summer than Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Adjacent to Grand Teton National Park, this valley between the Teton and Gros Ventre mountain ranges is blessed with some of the most majestic scenery in the lower 48. Warm, sunny days and chilly nights make for an outdoor adventure paradise, while the once-quaint cowboy town of Jackson offers a host of sophisticated dining and shopping. Whether you have just a few days or a whole month to spare, you’ll never run out of things to do and you’ll likely start planning your next visit to the Tetons before you leave.

While winter sport enthusiasts revere Jackson Hole for cold-weather recreation, I prefer Jackson Hole in the summer. The bitter cold has abated, wildflowers bloom on the mountainsides and trout jump in the rivers. Hiking trails abound in Jackson, Wilson and Teton Village, before you even enter Grand Teton National Park and explore its vast trail network. The Snake River swells with the runoff of melted snow, yielding opportunities to fly fish, whitewater raft or simply float along and enjoy the views. Wildlife is everywhere, particularly in the national park, and you’ll see creatures great and small, from bison to mountain goats to grizzly bears.
