For a peaceful and relaxing way to enjoy Wyoming’s pristine winter wilderness, hit the trails by snowshoeing in Jackson Hole. Snowshoeing is a fun, accessible outdoor activity that is an excellent alternative to skiing and a great way to explore the trails during the winter.
Get started with the best snowshoe trails in Jackson Hole:
Grand Teton National Park
It’s no surprise that Grand Teton National Park would offer some of the best snowshoe trails in Jackson Hole. Most roads inside the park close in the winter, making them great trails for snowshoers. The Teton Park Road is one road that closes in the winter just past the Bradley and Taggart Lakes Trailhead, making this network of trails a popular and convenient option for snowshoers. Here, you will find a moderate network of trails with three and four-mile groomed options with climbs. Other great options inside the park include Jenny Lake and Swan Lake for an easy, scenic hike.
Snake River Dike
Just outside of Jackson, on Highway 22, the Snake River Dike is an approachable recreation path along the scenic Snake River. It features views of the rushing river and snow-capped mountain peaks. Plus, this area is also a trendy place to see wildlife. It is mainly used in the summer as a path for walking, biking, and running, so winter provides a nice flat path for snowshoers. This is an ideal trail for families and beginners.
Cache Creek
Located just two miles from Town Square, Cache Creek Canyon is another tremendous snowshoeing option. The canyon features five miles of groomed trails perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Hiking in and out of the canyon provides a decent elevation gain/loss of about 1,200 feet, which is challenging but not too complex. Several trails on either side of the canyon are ideal for snowshoeing.
Or, if you would instead not go it alone, start your snowshoeing adventures with these local outfitters:
For the most tour options and locations to choose from, book a trip with the Hole Hiking. Tours run through Grand Teton National Park and the surrounding National Forest. You can choose from two-hour, half-day, and ¾-day excursions.
