Fall is the perfect season to visit Jackson Hole, as the pace starts to slow down as the air turns crisp, and the foliage colors emerge. The stunning colors of fall can be enjoyed from a trail, path or river; on foot, horseback or bike. Festivals and special events are plentiful, fishing conditions are excellent and local wildlife is active for prime viewing. September’s Fall Arts Festival is the pinnacle of the cultural calendar, with 10 days of events and activities to celebrate the vibrant art scene in Jackson. Below, we’ve shared a few of our favorite fall activities, insights from area locals, and possible itineraries for inspiration. Let our on-site concierge create a tailor-made experience.

INSIGHTS FROM OUR TEAM
What’s been your most special Jackson experience?
“One Thanksgiving, my parents came to visit. We rented a slopeside home in Teton Village, and I skied with my Dad (his first time on skis in twenty years) and my two year old daughter (her first real ski runs), three generations skiing together was really special, an experience I will not forget. The same weekend, we saw Santa arrive on snowmobile and experienced the magical tree lighting on the Town Square.”
Laura Cuddie | Director of Marketing and Development
“Everything here is an artistic experience. Where else do you get the chance to see the clouds part and the Tetons revealed? Art here doesn’t exist without the outdoors. The artists that are here are most likely here because of the landscape. They might not be painting mountains or wildlife, but they draw creativity and inspiration from it. There is energy and beauty everywhere here. Jackson Hole is an artistic hub because of its mountains, rivers wildlife. Just being outside here is creative and inspiring.”

INSIGHTS FROM OUR TEAM
What’s been your most special Jackson experience?
“Everyone has to see Yellowstone and preferably spend more than one day there. You have to see Old Faithful and eat at the Soda Fountain. We often spend the night in West Yellowstone (Montana) then go back into the park the next day to drive the northern loop. Here in Jackson Hole, we take visitors out fishing on the river. We might even take them camping, to Buffalo Valley with our campers. It is so quiet up there you feel like you’re away from all the craziness, but it’s only an hour away.”
