THE JOURNEY IS THE REASON TO GO

Let the road set the pace.

Combine a Teton Pass crossing with the quieter valley country west and south of Jackson. It is a rewarding loop idea when road conditions suit your vehicle and your party is comfortable with mountain grades.

GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO STOP

Places and landscapes to consider

  • Teton Pass
  • Victor and Swan Valley
  • Snake and Hoback river country

Before you drive

Check current highway access and vehicle restrictions in both states. Snow, grades and construction can change the best plan.

Make it a satisfying day

Choose a realistic section, then allow time for viewpoints, a town stop and breaks. Scenic mileage rarely tells the whole story of how long an outing will take.

Match the road to your vehicle

Check the exact roads for your car, RV or motorcoach. Tunnel dimensions, turning space, grades and road surfaces can matter as much as distance.
