Here in Jackson Hole, we love our activities. While your own two legs and a pair of eyes are just fine, we reckon that if you’re joining us, you may have heard about some of the activities we’re world-famous for: skiing, hiking, kayaking, biking, camping… we’ll stop there. To help you choose (and seize) your own adventure, we’ve rounded up the best spots around the valley to fulfill your every gear need, no matter the season.
Summer Fun Rentals
First things first: Wherever you’re going, you’ll want to pack bear spray. Bear Spray costs $40 to $60 per can, is non-refundable and cannot be taken aboard airplanes. Each year, a countless number of bear sprays end up in landfills. Be green, save money, rent! Rental costs are anywhere from $4 to $8 per day. Bear spray rentals: Teton Backcountry Rentals.
We suggest reading all of our tips for staying safe in bear country.
