Aerial Tram – Ride the aerial tram to the top of Mt. Rendezvous (10,450 ft) – it’s as close we can get to mountain climbing in the Teton Range. The tram goes right up into the spectacular craggy peaks, with views of trees and meadows below, like a miniature world. From the tram landing, it’s a short hike to the summit, with amazing views in all direction – the Jackson Hole valley, snow covered mountains, and wide open spaces that seem to go on forever. Another treat, stop into Corbet’s Cabin for waffles or snow cones. |

The 1.5 mile Lake Trail goes along a cascading creek, up to a sparkling lake nestled under mountain peaks. Along the trail are tons of wildflowers and butterflies zipping around, look for pine martens in the bushes (they like to eat the red berries), and chipmunks around the rocks. At the lake are spots to picnic, benches and sandy places for kids to play, and a trail that goes around the lake. |
