With millions of wildflowers and vines exploding into bloom in July and August, Rendezvous Peak and Fred's Mountain in the Tetons and Snow King in the Gros Ventres offer the wildest natural light show in the region. Dozens of species of animals roaming the region add life to the lush scene. To access the alpine ecosystems of the Teton and Gros Ventre Range, jump on a tram at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, relax in a chair at Snow King, or settle into the Dreamcatcher high-speed quad at Grand Targhee. The ride is peaceful and scenic, and the landscape waiting at the summit is nothing less than spectacular. Visitors can bring bikes up Grand Targhee or Snow King and snake down the mountain on any number of trails.
Local shops offer bike rentals and guided tours by the hour or day.
The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is looking into possible future lift accessed bike rides. Dozens of trails lead off Rendezvous, Fred's, and Snow King and dive into surrounding valleys or meander through grassy fields. The trail ends on the west side of Peaked Mountain with stunning views of the Tetons, Teton Canyon, and the Jedediah Smith Wilderness Area. Another popular hike at Targhee is the Fred's Mountain trail from the bottom of the Dreamcatcher. Follow the path up Mill Creek Ravine across the saddle between Fred's and Peaked and hop on the quad for an easy ride to the base.
