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. This tour keeps getting better and better as they build more and more traffic-free bicycle trails through the valley and into the park. We dare say that the paved paths offer some of the most beautiful cycling in the country.

"All the accommodations were just great. I especially liked the condominiums where the laundry facilities were right there next to my room! It was fun to stay in the cabins in the park too. I loved the restaurants that were chosen. Good food everywhere!

Tour Itinerary

DAY 1: Meet at our modern, spacious condominiums in Driggs, Idaho, for a rental bike fitting at 4:00 p.m., orientation at 6:00 p.m., and dinner at 7:00 p.m.

DAY 2: After a hearty breakfast, we'll explore the Teton Valley with a ride to Victor. Be sure to stop for a famous Huckleberry milkshake. Native to Idaho, the huckleberry is the official state fruit. 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 who wants 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. 28 miles, ±590'.

DAY 3: We start the morning with a quick shuttle up to Targhee Ski Resort. Once at the base of the mountain, you can choose to hike up or down on your own 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'. You'll understand that the Tetons were obviously named by French traders from the Idaho side.

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. Then we'll have dinner together. 12 miles, +90'/-1938'.

DAY 4: We begin our cycling today on a bike path through the valley to the base of Teton 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. 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. 24 miles, ±700'.

DAY 5: This beautiful day will take us directly beneath the spires of the Tetons and into Grand Teton National Park. It's a longer ride but gentle and can easily be shortened by our shuttle. You'll bike past herds of wild bison grazing beside the road and then onto a bike path beside pristine, azure-blue Jenny Lake. You can pack a sack lunch to bring with you today or stop for pizza overlooking the river. We'll end at our lodging right in the heart of the park. 45 miles, +1604'/-941'

DAY 6: We'll start the day off with a boat trip to view the mountains and wildlife from another perspective. We'll either float on the Snake River or Jenny Lake, depending upon availability. 

You're free to spend the afternoon exploring the beautiful park at a slower pace with a hike. There are over 200 miles of trails. Keep your eyes peeled for osprey and antelope. If you're lucky, you may even see a moose. 0 miles.

DAY 7: We'll get an early start on the day when the morning sun on the Grand Teton Range offers a spectacular photo opportunity. Wildlife can be particularly active at this time of the day, so look for marmots, deer, and bald eagles. Much of the day's ride is on a newly constructed bike path into the town of Jackson. With mountains on either side of you, it has to be one of the most beautiful bike paths in the country.

We'll end with a farewell picnic lunch in Jackson and then a shuttle to the airport by 2:00 p.m. If you've driven, we'll take you back to your car in Driggs by 3:30 p.m. 36 miles, +733/-1392'.
