top five reasons to visit Jackson Hole this summer

Bring a picnic to Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Park. The Concierge can customise a tour to suit your interests.

Looking for summer vacation ideas? One of the best summer vacations I ever took with my family was a week-long trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Here are five top reasons you might consider a summer vacation this year in Jackson Hole:

1. Great weather. Summer is a great time to go to the mountains. The high altitude brings shirtsleeve warmth during the day (without high humidity) and comfortably cool sleeping temperatures at night.

2. Beautiful natural scenery. Jackson Hole is convenient to two picturesque national parks, Grand Teton and Yellowstone.  Grand Teton's majestic mountains are awe-inspiring, and Yellowstone is the country's first national park, established in 1872. Old Faithful still spouts on schedule every 91 minutes.

3. Active, outdoors adventure travel. Mountains aren't just for skiers. Want to try fly-fishing on the Snake River? Hiking or mountain biking? White water rafting? If you're a golfer, Jackson Hole offers a variety of golf courses where your ball will fly further because the air is thinner 6,500 feet above sea level.

4. Jackson Hole Rodeo. Rodeos are held every Wednesday and Saturday night through Labor Day, and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays in August. This is a very different experience for most of us!

5. Four Seasons Jackson Hole offers legendary Four Seasons luxury with surprising values.
