Travel Guides
Itineraries, local tips and seasonal advice from people who live around the park.
JACKSON HOLE
Most visitors to Yellowstone and Grand Teton country spend their time on the big-name side of the Tetons. But the quieter Idaho side of the range, Teton Valley, has the same jagged skyline with fewer crowds, and it makes for a very good day. Here’s how to spend one.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Yellowstone National Park covers more than 2.2 million acres, which means there’s no such thing as seeing it all in a single trip. But whether you have one day, a long weekend or nearly a week, you can still experience some of the park’s most iconic landscapes, wildlife and geothermal features.
PARADISE VALLEY
Between the Absaroka and Gallatin mountain ranges, Paradise Valley lives up to its name. This scenic stretch of southwest Montana is home to wide-open landscapes, natural hot springs, memorable local restaurants, and one of the most spectacular gateways to Yellowstone National Park.
TETON VILLAGE
Tucked just west of Grand Teton National Park, Teton Valley, Idaho is the kind of place that doesn't announce itself — it lets you discover it. There are no traffic jams, no shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at viewpoints, no overstuffed parking lots. Just big skies, cold rivers, wildflower meadows, and a handful of genuinely great places to eat and drink. Here's how to spend 48 perfect hours here.
