There’s something special about Jackson Hole in the fall. The air feels crisper, the crowds thin out, and the landscape comes alive with vibrant autumn colors. Now imagine experiencing it all from the water—paddling through the rapids of the Snake River Canyon or gliding along the peaceful stretches of the Gros Ventre River, surrounded by golden aspens. Fall Jackson Hole rafting offers the perfect blend of adventure and serenity.
Breathtaking Fall Scenery on the Snake River
The Snake River winds through some of the most stunning landscapes in the West. In the fall, the changing leaves along its banks reflect beautifully on the water, creating a postcard-perfect view. Book a scenic float with Mad River Boat Trips to enjoy a peaceful journey along this iconic river with a backdrop of the Tetons.
Escape the Crowds on the Gros Ventre River
Looking for a quieter adventure? The Gros Ventre River offers a more intimate rafting experience with fewer crowds. Explore this hidden gem on a guided float trip with Teton Whitewater and enjoy uninterrupted views of fall colors, along with a chance to spot moose and elk along the shoreline.
Perfect Fall Weather for Rafting Adventures
Autumn’s cooler temperatures make rafting more enjoyable—without the summer heat or pesky bugs. For thrill-seekers, try the Snake River Canyon section with Dave Hansen Whitewater. This stretch offers Class II and III rapids, adding a perfect dash of adrenaline to your fall adventure. Bundle up, grab your paddles, and dive into the fun!
Wildlife Encounters Along the Riverbanks
Fall is prime time for wildlife sightings along Jackson Hole’s rivers. As elk migrate and animals prepare for winter, you’ll likely spot bald eagles, deer, and even otters. The National Elk Refuge float tour with Barker-Ewing River Trips offers a peaceful glide through protected lands where wildlife roams freely.
Unforgettable Adventures with Friends and Family
Rafting in Jackson Hole isn’t just an outdoor activity—it’s an adventure filled with lasting memories. The mix of thrilling rapids, breathtaking scenery, and peaceful moments on the water makes it perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends.
