I will forever remember Grand Teton National Park. I loved it so much--it's definitely at the top…read moreof my list of favorite national parks. It's so diverse, oh so beautiful! I wish I could have stayed longer, but I'm very grateful for the opportunity to visit. Here are a few tips based on my experience: We lodged in Victor, Idaho, which was super convenient for Grand Teton NP. It's much more affordable, and the drive was beautiful. There is so much to do at GTP--I recommend exploring the park for at least 2+ days. Here's what I recommend. Start each day early: * 5:45 AM - Schwabacher's Landing (sunrise) * 6:45 AM - Snake River Overlook * 7:30 AM - Mormon Row (barn glow) * Jenny Lake Shuttle (8-8:30 AM, $20 RT) * Hike Hidden Falls (0.5 mi, 15-20 min) * Hike Inspiration Point (0.4 mi , 20-30 min) Take a break and have lunch at Dornan's Pizza Pasta Co. After lunch, head over to String Lake (swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding). End your day at Glacier View Turnout and Mount Moran Turnout for a scenic drive along Teton Park Road.

Cathy answered and was very pleasant. I explained our situation and she was understanding and found us a Snowshoeing Tour in the Tetons for a half or whole day. We chose a half day guided snowshoe tour. Beverly met us at our hotel the next morning at 0800. We chatted for a bit and there were a couple of options for us to 'shoe'. My daughters hadn't seen a Moose before so we chose the River Valley Area in the Teton National Park. The drive was about 20 minutes from Jackson. Beverly had all the gear you needed. We started out on our hike and the scenery was so beautiful. We had a very 'bluebird' day. On our was back we began to see signs of Moose. Shortly after we found what we wanted to see. A cow and her calf. Being careful not to stare to long or threaten them we were able to watch and see these beautiful animals and appreciate their size. Beverly was a very knowledgeable guide and a wonderful woman. Having help raise two daughters it is great for them to interact with other strong women. We have discussed as a family of visiting in the summer months and The Hole Experience offers a overnight camping and hiking experience that we will want to do.

She was thoughtful and courteous, called back when we got disconnected (i think i was laughing and hung up with my cheek). She arranged for Tessa to be our guide. Tessa was extremely knowledgeable about the trails, brought us to one that for our hiking skills (or lack of) and took us on a beautiful hike. We learned about local plants, trees, and climbed to the top of the trail where we could see all the mountains around us. It was exactly the hole we asked for! We traded interesting and fun tales, learned about Jackson Hole, Teton, and even bits about Yellowstone, we stayed hydrated with provided water, and had an amazing day.

Breakfasts were quite a treat, and the evening meals were akin to fine dining. We planned our vacation for over a year, as this was our first extended family trip in quite a while. We came from Washington, Oregon, Georgia, and North Carolina. Wyoming and The Wildflower Lodge did not disappoint. None of us were ready to leave when our week was up. An epic vacation!

The place doesn't have an elevator so if you happen to have physical problems such as getting up stairs, this place might not be for you unless you score a room on the first floor. I would definitely recommend this place for quality time with friends and family. Theres also a fat black cat named Lionel Richie if that convinces you

If there's no traffic it's another 7-8ish minutes to the town of Jackson. We booked the Alta Vista house and a condo booked for 5 nights (due to the size of our family). The house was beautiful and had an amazing view of the Tetons from a large backyard. We have kids and they were beyond accommodating with having multiple high chairs, cribs, and a pack n play in the house ready for our arrival. The house did not have air conditioning which I think is fine for the majority of the time, but it was in the high 80s while we were there and there were a few nights that were incredibly hot upstairs. They did have multiple fans in every single bedroom which was nice. This wouldn't stop me from staying there again but a few things that I was surprised about... -3 of the 4 bath tubs had the stop drain removed so you couldn't fill them for kids to take a bath -one of the closets had an opening to the attic and there was insulation kind of hanging down out of it -the beds were all made with an insane amount of blankets, comforters, etc. I'm assuming they use the same bedding year round -the hot tub was closed for repairs, but no one seemed to be repairing it -it's $75 for a key to turn on the firepit... We booked the horseback riding online for 4 people. Unfortunately one person was unable to make it and we were able to have another family member take his place. Our guide was Hannah and she was amazing! She was incredibly helpful, shared a ton of facts and information along the way, and was really kind. I would definitely go back - just for the ease of everything and the amazing views knowing that there are likely a few things to keep in mind when booking.

Million dollar views, one-dollar accommodations. We rented a 2-bdrm suite (townhome) which by the…read moredeceptively mixed advertised pics looks like 2-bdrm with a kitchen and living room. Ours was the upper unit which is 2 bdrm unit with an odd jack-and jill bathroom connecting the two rooms, and no kitchen or common sitting area. We immediately drove back to the front desk and asked "where is our kitchen and living room?" They said that is only for the lower units. Nowhere is this clear when you book the room. In fact their website summary and pictures of the units (pic included below) are deceptively mixed so that it appears that you get what you would expect from a "two bedroom suite with kitchen". We asked them to unlock the shared door between the upper alnd lower unit so that we would have a small gathering place and a kitchen. They only did this for an extra fee, ignoring our complaint that this was falsley presented on theri website. The lower unit had a musty old smell, as if the unit not is not often used. There was a sunken area living area, and a murphy bed in what they call the "dining room". Upstairs, one bedroom had a comforter with a large spot (hand sized) of dried blood on it (it had been laundered, but not fully cleaned). The continental breakfast that we pikced up at the front desk ( a separate building) is a boxed breakfast with two hardboiled eggs, an oj, a small, hard bagel in plastic wrap with some cream cheese. and a cheeses stick. It was the same box for all days. We only picked them up on the first day. We took one look and didn't eat anything. We checked out a day early because we were unwilling to spend another night there. The front desk people seemed cordial enough, but they appeared to be ready for the complaints, as if this is a common occurrence, so we didn't bother and just left. It goes without saying that I strongly encourage others to look elsewhere for accomodations in this area. --------- Additional comment: I had saved part of the breakfast box and just discovered that the items I saved in our cooler had expired (cheese and OJ). I can't imagine what that says about the bagel, cream cheese, and hardboiled eggs that were immediate throw-aways! Downgrading form 2 stars to one star! Don't stay here.

The Aerial Tram entrance is located just above the information center. After passing through the souvenir shop, turn right and you will find The Burger on your left and Sweetwater Gondola on your right. Your ticket for the Aerial Tram also grants you access to Bridger Gondola and Sweetwater Gondola. However, if you are on a tight schedule, I would highly recommend prioritizing the Aerial Tram. The other two gondolas can be skipped if time is limited. I know that the website is super hard to navigate, and I hope the following information are helpful. There are three gondolas at the resort: 1. Bridger Gondola - Takes you to the bike park and a small restaurant. 2. Sweetwater Gondola - Serves the mid-mountain terrain and takes you to Piste Mountain Bistro. 3. Aerial Tram - Brings you to the highest observation point with stunning views, access to hiking trails, and Corbet's Cabin (home of the famous waffles). Corbet's Cabin and Piste Mountain Bistro will be reviewed separately in upcoming posts
