Grand Targhee's summer season kicks-off on June 1, with a range of activities scheduled seven days per week and a full schedule of special events. For those interested in getting a closer look at the Tetons than you might over in Jackson, there are several modes of transportation at Grand Targhee which can help you in that quest. Bustle Creek Outfitters can put you on a horse for a half or full day, and guide you up onto the mountains. The Activity Center provides maps which make an afternoon of hiking or biking to the top of the mountain on your own an exciting day trip. Trekking around the mountains, exploring the forests and streams, and taking in the scenery is great fun.
Children also have the opportunity to be involved in the Science Explorers day camp program.
Offered through the Targhee Institute July 8 through August 15, this natural world discovery camp offers special, however, are the plethora of shops at the base of the Jackson Hole Ski Area and the special activities and events held there on an almost weekly basis throughout the summer. Start with breakfast, lunch or dinner at any one of a number of excellent restaurants. The Village offers everything from down-home cooking to fancy fare. At the top, you can go for a hike by yourself or take one offered by a naturalist who will explain the flora and fauna of the area. And almost every weekend, there's a fair, festival or show ranging from the Antique Show and Sale, Wyoming's biggest and best antique show, the Collector Car and Wine Auction, a two day auction featuring sports cars, convertibles, antiques and classics and the Art and Extraordinary Crafts Outdoor Festival, a craft show and sale with wine tasting, children's' festival and music.
