• Grand Teton National Park: The multi-use pathway in Grand Teton National Park expands 30 miles from Jenny Lake back to the town of Jackson. A bucket list route for many bikers is the 100-mile “Around the Block” loop, which is a challenging yet beautiful ride around the Snake River Canyon.
• Teton Pass: There are a variety of downhill trails that wind through the epic terrain at Teton Pass. Here, riders can enjoy gap jumps, log features, and hip jumps, with over 2,000 vertical miles to explore. Just be prepared for some achy muscles afterward!
