Teton Canyon Hiking Trail

Teton Canyon Hiking Trail starts just east of Driggs and takes hikers on a beautiful journey through lush forests and meadows dotted with wildflowers. The trail follows along Teton Creek as you head deeper into the canton. Along the way, hikers will get breathtaking views of Grand Teton National Park’s towering mountain peaks as well as opportunities to spot wildlife including moose, elk, deer, eagles and more! The further you go, the more majestic it gets. Talk the full day and get up into Alaska Basin, one of our personal favorite areas in all of Grand Teton National Park. Alaska Basin offers high mountain tundra meadows and lakes. Take some time at Sunset Lake and, if you are feeling adventurous, go for a dip in its chilly waters.

Table Mountain

Table Mountain Hiking Trail offers some of the best views in all of Teton Valley. Hiking Table Mountain in Grand Teton National Park is an unforgettable experience. The trailhead starts just east of Driggs and takes hikers on a stunning journey through lush forests, meadows dotted with wildflowers, and breathtaking views of the park’s towering mountain peaks. As you continue on your journey up Table Mountain, you’ll be rewarded with incredible vistas from its summit as you gaze across the abyss directly at the Grand Teton. There are two trails that get you to the summit.

Darby Canyon to the Wind Cave

Another popular hike for visitors and local alike starts at the end of the Darby Canyon road. You can find Darby Canyon road on the east side of the valley between Driggs and Victor. Take the road to the end and park along Darby Creek. The trail then meanders along the creek before taking a few switchbacks to gain some altitude. You will then start to hike south a bit along the top of a shelf above the canyon. Continue along this as you continue to gain elevation. After a while, you will cross the creek and head towards the west again. At some point you will be able to look across the canyon and see a large dark hole in the side of the mountain. Be sure to head up there and take a look. It is well worth it! Please do not enter the cave unless you are an experienced caver and have the right equipment.
