The Teton River is Eastern Idaho’s final major free-flowing waterway. Originating as an 81-mile tributary of the Henry’s Fork, it traverses Teton Valley and offers exceptional fly fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. The river is full of Rainbow, Cutthroat, Cutt-bows, Brook Trout, and Whitefish, many of which grow to impressive sizes. This abundance of fish results from prolific spring through fall hatches, providing ample feeding opportunities and contributing to the river's reputation as a prime fishing destination.

The River is not just for fishing, however. Its lazy pace through Teton Valley makes it the ideal place to paddle board, kayak, or tube. Rent your boats from Peaked Sports or Yostmark River Supply in Driggs, or get the Deluxe Package through Teton River Supply for equipment rental and a shuttle to the South Bates or Bates put-in. Depending on where you access the river , you can float for the day or only for a few hours. Regardless of how long you spend on the water, you will almost certainly see several moose who love to cool off in the river on hot days. Want to pack a picnic lunch? Stop by Victor Valley Market or Shop Food Shed Idaho in Victor, ID, for plenty of snacks to fill your cooler!

Teton Valley abuts three mountain ranges - the Teton, Big Hole, and Palisades. This means that there are plenty of trails to hike and mountain bike. If you want to get up close and personal with the Grand Teton, hiking Table Mountain Trail in Teton Canyon is THE hike to plan.  It ranges anywhere from 8.5 miles to 12 miles in and out, depending on whether you choose to enter via the North Face Trail (an easier but longer trail known to locals as “Huckleberry”) or by Face Trail (the shorter but steeper route). With an elevation gain of 4,183 feet, plan for a full day of hiking, bringing a lunch and plenty of water and your bear spray. Early in the season, hikers will have to post hole through snow but by August, summer temps have melted most of the mountain snow. Expect a few switchbacks that will get your heart rate up, a wide scree field that can cause scrambling, and the final mile to the table, which will take your breath away - literally.

Grand Targhee Resort has become a top destination for downhill mountain biking in the region, featuring Teton singletrack trails winding through wildflower-filled meadows and technical lift-serviced downhill trails. Grand Targhee and the Tetons offer cool temperatures, great dirt, and stunning scenery during the hot summer months. Explore over 2,200 vertical feet of lift-serviced downhill and more than 70 miles of cross-country and downhill trails, catering to riders of all levels and styles. Most trails start from the main plaza at Grand Targhee Resort, which is easily accessible by driving east from Driggs, Idaho, up Ski Hill Rd. A large trail map near the Activity Center provides direction, difficulty, and distance information. There are many trail options, including the Horseshoe Canyon Trail System just west of Driggs, an area gaining recognition as a prime mountain biking spot. 

Get ready for a dirt bike and ATV extravaganza on the Big Hole Crest Trail, a beautiful backcountry trail system that traverses the ridge of the Big Hole Mountains and offers panoramic views of the Tetons. While the northern section of the route provides a smooth, flowy ride, expect a shift to more technical terrain approximately a mile in, characterized by loose gravel and a challenging hill climb, especially for those accessing the area from the south. For optimal riding conditions, plan your excursion for mid to early July, when the lingering snow has largely receded, allowing for an unforgettable exploration of the terrain.

Teton Valley’s towns are small but vibrant. Make plans to visit the museums in the region, catch a rodeo, enjoy happy hour at a local brewery , dance at music festivals held throughout the summer, or join us at one of the Valley’s many events! The things to do in town are almost as plentiful as the outdoor recreation.
