1. View Wildflowers & Wildlife
Spring is the peak season for observing nature and spotting wildlife in Jackson Hole, especially as the young animals just born begin to get their bearings in the world. Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park are excellent spots to get a glimpse at elk, moose, bears, and so much more. If you are the type to birdwatch, Jackson Hole's parks offer incredible birding opportunities, so make sure to bring your binoculars! From Jackson Hole's national parks, visitors can also interact with the area's stunning wildflowers that bloom from May through September and add vibrant hues to the valley and gain views of the area’s scenic mountain terrain.
2. Biking & Hiking
As the weather warms up, get outside with a hike through one of Jackson Hole's national parks or take a bike ride through town. The roads to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National park are accessible beginning in mid-April through May, just in time for a late spring trip. You may also enjoy a bicycle ride from downtown Jackson toward Grand Teton National Park on the paved multi-use pathway, which provides miles of fantastic sights and connects with the Jenny Lake Scenic Loop, where you can continue your ride.
