Summer Activity Finder

In the summertime, our corner of the Tetons bursts to life with adventure, both at Grand Targhee Resort and in the surrounding area. Whether you're setting out on an alpine hike straight from the resort or embarking on a whitewater rafting trip down a nearby river, there's no shortage of ways to explore.

Just a short 15-minute drive from the resort, Teton Valley embodies the spirit of the Wild West, offering incredible local food, unique shops, and a welcoming mountain-town vibe. Stroll through Driggs or Victor to browse outdoor stores, art galleries, and boutiques, or venture farther to experience the stunning landscapes of our National Parks. Visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art across from the National Elk Refuge, or explore the lively town of Jackson Hole.

No matter where your adventure takes you, we've outlined some of our favorite summer activities to help you get started.
