Enjoy the afternoon shopping in the many stores and art galleries on Jackson’s quaint town square. Be sure to check out the cowboy bar and the wildlife art museum. Dinner is on your own. 27 miles.
DAY 5: Our longer day today takes us directly beneath the spires of the Tetons and into Grand Teton National Park. You’ll bike past herds of wild bison grazing beside the road and then onto a bike path beside pristine, azure blue Jenny Lake. We’ll end at our lodging right in the park. We’ll finish off the day with dinner and a two-hour float trip to view the wildlife and mountains at an even slower pace. 47 miles.
DAY 6: We’ll get an early start on the day, when the morning sun on the Grand Teton Range offers a spectacular photo opportunity. Keep an eye out for grazing elk and moose, which are particularly active at this time in the morning. We’ll finish our cycling on a beautiful, newly constructed bike path from the park to the town of Jackson.
Then we’ll end with a farewell picnic lunch in Jackson. We will shuttle you to the Jackson airport by 2:00pm. If you’ve driven and left your car in Driggs, we will take you back to your car by 3:30pm. 34 miles.
The jagged, rocky peaks of the Teton Mountains rise dramatically from the sagebrush flats of Jackson Hole. Rich in history, scenery and wildlife, this mountain range offers a beautiful backdrop to a wonderful cycling experience. We’ve taken the easier parts of our other Teton tours and put them all into this tour for a more laid-back trip. A great tour for first-timers and women new to cycling
DAY 1: Meet at our modern, spacious condominiums in Driggs, Idaho, for a rental bike fitting at 4:00pm, orientation at 6:00pm and dinner at 7:00pm.
DAY 2: After a hearty breakfast, we’ll explore the Teton Valley with a ride to Horseshoe Canyon. You’ll be surrounded by mountains, but the cycling is decidedly flat in the valley. You’ll pass horse pastures, potato farms and fields of wildflowers along the way.
After a picnic lunch, we’ll have an “effective bicycling” workshop for anyone wanting to learn more about bike handling, proper shifting, effective pedaling and nutrition. Our guides will also be able to help you learn how to change a flat tire if you’re interested. Then we’ll have dinner together in our condos. 26 or 42 miles.
DAY 3: We’ll shuttle a quick 10 miles up to Targhee Ski Resort this morning after breakfast. Once at the base of the mountain, you can choose to hike up or down or to hop on the chair lift. There is a breathtaking view from the top you won’t want to miss. You’ll see snow-capped Grand Teton Mountain standing at 13,770’.
In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy an hour of yoga. The Teton Valley is home to a beautiful yoga studio and all skill levels will be accommodated, from the novice to the experienced. We’ll focus on gentle stretching of your bicycling muscles. 12 miles.
DAY 4: We leave the Idaho side of the Tetons today by crossing over Teton Pass into Wyoming. We’ll begin on a bike path through the valley to the base of the pass. We’ll shuttle to the top and then jump on the bike path that takes us down the other side of the mountain into Jackson Hole.
