caffè
Snake River Roasting Company
Adventure-inspired specialty coffee roasts
Our favorite coffee in town - tell them we sent you! This place has all the vibes plus good food and treats. They're all about crafting specialty coffee inspired by the adventurous spirit of the Tetons (we've done a full tasting with them and both like their "White Spider" blend the best! You NEED to get a drink in one of their to-go cups as it's the cutest for photo ops!
Additonal deets: With a focus on high-altitude roasting and top-notch quality, they offer a variety of light, medium, and dark roasts, as well as espresso blends and single-origin options.
Giro turistico
Hike to Delta Lake
Challenging hike to stunning alpine lake
Everyone's fave - Delta Lake! It truly is an insanely stunning lake and worth the hike.
Delta Lake is a challenging 8.1 mile hike in Grand Teton National Park, known for its stunning alpine waters and breathtaking views. The trail, which is only accessible between June and October due to heavy snowfall, involves steep switchbacks and boulder fields before reaching the milky blue waters of Delta Lake. The unmaintained trail used to be confusing to find, but it has recently gotten so popular from Instagram that it's quite busy. Be prepared with sturdy hiking boots, plenty of water, sunscreen, bear spray, and trekking poles if you use them for the rocky terrain. And remember, it's best to tackle this hike early in the day to avoid the scorching midday sun.
Start the hike at the Lupine Meadows trailhead and follow signs for Surprise/Amphitheater Lakes. It's pretty straightforward and you'll go up 6 switchbacks before you drop off an unmarked trailed to your right on the 6th one. This trail will lead you over boulders and up to the lake. Enjoy!
spiaggia
Swimming at String Lake
Shallow lake in Teton Park
String Lake is one of our favorite spots to swim and paddleboard. Since it's a relatively shallow lake, it gets warmer than most of the others and is considered the "swimming pool" of Jackson Hole. You'll find lots of families hanging out here, swimming and boating. The reflection of the Tetons on the water is especially good later in the day.

Jenny Lake Overlook
Scenic stop with lake & mountain views
This is a cool, quick stop while you're driving for a beautiful photo of Jenny Lake - looking back into Cascade Canyon. It's on a one-way road so it's best to go to String Lake first then take this road as you're leaving. This pin shows exactly where it is.
harbour
Jenny Lake Boat
Scenic boating and wildlife spotting
Taking the boat across Jenny lake is an adventure in itself, but also cuts off a few miles of hiking if you're looking to go up Cascade canyon. You can buy a round trip, or one way ticket from either side of the lake and they run every 15 minutes or so from 7 am to 7 pm during the summer. (Check times before going)
Cascata
Hidden Falls
Scenic hike to stunning waterfall
Hidden Falls is a must-see spot for visitors looking to enjoy a scenic hike and catch a glimpse of a stunning 100-foot waterfall. You can either take a leisurely stroll around the lake or hop on a shuttle boat to shorten the hike. Once you reach Hidden Falls, get ready to be wowed by the cascading waters fed by snowmelt. For those feeling adventurous, you can continue on to Inspiration Point for even more breathtaking scenery.

The best spot to eat in Teton Park
