“Our experience with Off Grid has been nothing short of amazing! Every guest that heads out with Off-Grid comes back to the hotel with smiles on their faces and fun stories about their adventures."

“Awesome people to book with for an unforgettable adventure. "

The owner Dave, our guide Dakota, and the office personnel were all available to make our Anniversary  4 day tour/trip so memorable, that we decided to go back in March 2023. Seven of our neighbors went with us in March & everyone remarked how beautiful the scenery is, how nice our rental equipment was, and how attentive the staff are to ensure everyone had a safe and enjoyable experience."

“If you want the best you will want to book with OFF-GRID."

The guides are awesome. We had Dan and Dakota who were very knowledgable and made us feel comfortable and safe. From pickup to drop off they take care of all of your needs. Top notch experience with OFF GRID and Dave. Great team and know their way around snowmobiling. Excellent riders and guides.”

I could not begin to express how much we enjoyed our first snowmobiling experience with Dan and John!

Dan picked us up from our hotel, on time, and treated us like family from beginning to end! Dan and John were so patient in the boot room with us first timers suiting up! The ride was unbelievable and beautiful! The scenery was breathtaking! Difficult to explain how wonderful it was! It was definitely a highlight of our first trip out West! After our ride they treated us to an awesome lunch in the lodge and then took us home! We plan to do it again! You will not be disappointed! I give this trip ten stars!

"We rode around 75 miles on beautiful trails. I will recommend this tour to all of our clients."

This tour is absolutely awesome.  Love the small group we had.  Dakota was the best tour guide all thru the day.   Our first time in Jackson Hole area and the first time on a snow sled.  He narrated the ride and spotted wildlife for us to see.  We rode around 75 miles on beautiful trails. I will recommend this tour to all of our clients.

"Was exceptional!"

Was exceptional! Our guide Dan O. Was prompt on pick up extremely friendly and made sure we all had an amazing time! The lunch at the ranch was a great surprise for the quality and cold beer!

Jackson Hole, Wyoming's Newest Hotel Is Adults-only — and It Has Some of the Best Views of the Teton Mountains

Hotel Yellowstone at Jackson Hole promises to surpass all area properties when it comes to luxury and views.

Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50. She now splits her time between Colorado and Paris, ensuring she doesn't have to live without skiing or L'As du Fallafel.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has never been good at flying under the radar. It may be a small town in the least-populated state in the union, but it’s got a staggering landscape that’s lined with jagged, teeth-like mountains, a giant elk herd, and direct access to the wildlife and views of Grand Teton National Park .

Sitting amid all the splendor is the new Hotel Yellowstone at Jackson Hole , a luxurious boutique property that was designed and constructed in secrecy. The project was shared exclusively with Travel + Leisure in advance of its Aug. 1 opening.

The hotel, which joins other luxurious Jackson Hole properties like Amangani, stands out for its views of the Teton Mountains, which are truly unobstructed. Hotel Yellowstone sits on a butte that overlooks the mountain range and each of the property’s 36 suites are privately situated in clusters across the four-acre property. The suites’ large windows provide views of the surrounding mountains — and in some cases, passing wildlife.

Hotel Yellowstone is also Jackson Hole’s first and only adults-only hotel . 

“With a deep appreciation for Jackson Hole and the beauty the destination lends, we are thrilled to open this one-of-a-kind hotel tailored to showcasing Jackson Hole’s innate sense of refined elegance and natural appeal,” Jerry Johnson, owner of Hotel Yellowstone, in a press release shared with T+L. “Hotel Yellowstone was a labor of love, my team and I meticulously ideated, curated, and constructed the hotel to be the pinnacle of luxury. Now, we look forward to introducing Hotel Yellowstone to the world and providing our guests authentic, exclusive experiences coupled with a warm, dedicated staff and exceptional amenities.”

Each of the hotel’s suites offers 600 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, including a private balcony. In-room highlights include soaking tubs overlooking the Tetons, fireplaces, head-to-toe Calacatta marble bathrooms, and tailor-made furnishings.

In addition to large, luxurious rooms, guests of Hotel Yellowstone are treated to amenities like a heated indoor pool with retractable windows and an intimate spa that boasts both red light and cold plunge therapy . The on-site restaurant and bar, named Olivia’s , features organic, locally sourced ingredients and destination-inspired cocktails.

While tranquility is one of Hotel Yellowstone’s biggest selling points, it is surprisingly easy to reach downtown Jackson and the historic Jackson Town Square (10 minutes by car), the National Elk Refuge (15 minutes), and Grand Teton National Park (20 minutes). Yellowstone National Park is less than 1.5 hours from the property.

The first guests at Hotel Yellowstone can book a private tour of Yellowstone National Park with a local tour operator that includes breakfast, and a charcuterie and wine lunch on the banks of the Firehole River in the package.

• 9 Friendliest Towns To Visit In Wyoming In 2024

Why not use your vacation period to traipse and gallivant on the big plains of Wyoming ? So named from the Native American word mecheweamiing , meaning "at the big plains,” the Equality State has many big attractions for you to admire this 2024 —most notably the friendliest towns to visit in Wyoming. Soak in the hot springs of Jackson, Thermopolis, and others that mirror the boiling beauty of Yellowstone National Park . Relive the liberal and wild cowboy lifestyle in historic settlements like Dubois and Sundance. Most of all, savor the big plains of Wyoming in Buffalo, Green River, and more. Since Wyoming is the least populous state in the US, you will not be perturbed by too many tourists in a state that is certainly tourist-worthy.

Jackson may not be as popular and iconic as its two-hour-away neighbor, the Yellowstone National Park. However, this friendly small town in Wyoming certainly has its fair share of natural wonders. Several archways composed of shed antlers welcome newcomers from the National Elk Refuge and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center. There are also astonishing artworks by Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. But most of all, within the Jackson Hole valley, skiers can revel and rejoice in the three ski areas reminiscent of the Alps of Europe .

To begin your skiing and snow-hiking endeavors, you can first visit the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. There, you can take the longest continuous vertical rise of any ski area in the US that terminates at Rendezvous Mountain’s summit. Afterward, you might fancy the Snow King Mountain Resort, which hosts the annual World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb from March 21 to 24. If you are still eager for more, head over to Teton Village, the gateway to the Targhee mountains and Tetons from the Grand Targhee Resort. If you are satisfied with all the joyful activities in Jackson, you can refresh and recharge at Inn On the Creek, Hitching Post Lodge, or Huff House Inns and Cabins.

Thermopolis

With a Greek etymology meaning “hot city,” the town of Thermopolis is definitely a great destination to soak in the warm and relaxing hot springs that bear some resemblance to Yellowstone. These hot springs can be found specifically at the Hot Spring State Park. If you prefer colder or lukewarm waters, you can stroll along the Bighorn River or see more points of interest in the Bighorn Basin. Additionally, you ought to visit the Legend Rock Petroglyph Site to admire the 283 Native American rock drawings which are all over 10,000 years old. Many thunderous herds of bison can be seen at the Wind River Canyon and Boysen State Park. Meanwhile, the Wyoming Dinosaur Center houses the remains of several dinosaurs unearthed in the region. Those of you intrigued by Thermopolis’ quaint and friendly atmosphere ought to book a room at either El Rancho or Hot Springs Hotel and Spa.

Buffalo is a town replete with history. Only 35 miles from Sheridan, one can visit the Jim Gatchell Museum to admire over 15,000 artifacts from the Old West, whereas the Museum of the Occidental Hotel was where Owen Wister’s famous cowboy icon, The Virginian , "got his man here." Speaking of cowboys and outlaws, the mysterious “Hole in the Wall” landmark was once the hideout of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid along with the rest of the Wild Bunch. Despite the violent history of these landmarks, they are now friendly and accommodating features for those wanting to immerse themselves in the adventurous past. There are several more attractions to savor in Buffalo, such as Fort Phil Kearney, where the infamous Fetterman Fight took place and the steep and splendid slopes of Bighorn Mountain within the Bighorn National Park. Why not see more of one of Wyoming's most historic small towns? There is no shortage of affable experiences and gregarious adventures to be found in Buffalo.

Halfway between Mount Rushmore in South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park, you will find the jewel of Wyoming, the town of Sheridan. It is so hailed as a jewel because of its many historic and natural attractions that have enamored many a visitor. There are, for example, around ten sites in and around town listed in the National Register of Historic Places for you to visit. Among these sites is the Blacktooth Brewing Company, Wyoming’s prime purveyor of craft ales for all to cherish that will certainly entertain you like a life-long friend.

You can go hiking and trekking through Medicine Mountain along the scenic Red Grade Trails, which cross through the Bighorn National Forest and Cloud Peak Wilderness. Furthermore, the Tongue River Canyon contains many more vistas and views for nature lovers to savor. You might want to visit Sheridan in the month of May when the annual Eaton's Horse Drive sees hundreds of cowboys on horseback prance through Sheridan’s streets. No need to worry about accommodations because the Ramada Plaza, the Budget Inn Express, and Wyo Inn have all the necessities to keep you satisfied in Sheridan.

Much like the sun itself, many people feel and see the influence the town of Sundance has made in the United States. It was from this humble village that the Sundance Kid earned his name after performing the Sun Dance ceremony the Native American groups in the region often practice. Furthermore, the town, the kid, and the dance itself inspired the Utah/United States Film Festival, which was later renamed as the familiar Sundance Film Festival. The likeness of the Sundance Kid and his history can be seen at the Crook County Museum & 1875 Gallery, a friendly memento of America's Indigenous culture.

Besides references to eponymous entities, Sundance is also a convenient waystation for you to travel about 28 miles toward America’s First National Monument, the Devil’s Tower . Additionally, there is the Bearlodge District of the Black Hills National Forest, a benign and jolly region for you to feel joyous and safe. You can always take the Sip ‘n Walk Historical Tour to learn more about Sundance’s past while sipping on cooling refreshments. Should you wish to spend your evenings there with the town's friendly locals, you can seek rooms at either the Bear Mountain Resort or Bear Lodge Motel.

Wyoming’s fabled big plains spread far and wide in Lovell. At the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center, Bighorn National Forest, and at the shores of Bighorn Lake, one can sightsee the majestic wild mustangs roam about in the plains or even ride one of the domesticated quadrupeds for a thrilling ride. At the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, you can marvel at the engineering ingenuity of the Yellowtail Dam that keeps energy and water stable in Lovell. Meanwhile, at the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, there are a handful of World War II Japanese-American confinement sites you can tour, while the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite houses well-preserved dinosaur footprints. For more history, the Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark contains an arrangement of ancient Native American stones deep in the Bighorn Forest. There are many more lovely features in Lovell, and the most attractive and friendly things you can enjoy are the amicable establishments in Lovell, such as the Cattlemen Motel, the Western Motel, and the Horseshoe Bend Motel.

Approximately an hour and 40 minutes from Jackson, Dubois is home to Wyoming’s most proud and wonderful animal, the bighorn sheep . Although these great horned flocks are not so outgoing to humans, the National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center is friendly enough to give visitors useful information about the bighorn sheep. The Dubois Museum, on the other hand, showcases Dubois’ inception when pioneers first settled in the region. Those of you who love the outdoors will certainly love the Shoshone National Forest, the first national forest that President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed. Furthermore, there are over 3, 953 miles of routes and trails for anyone to trek on—some of these even allow wonderful horseback rides. Do not miss out on Dubois’ yearly Wild West-style rodeos every Friday from June 14 to August 23, a welcoming experience for one and all. And once the night calls you to sleep, return at once to the lavish and tranquil bedrooms of the Chinook Winds Lodge.

At an elevation of 7,200 feet in the plateaus of the Snowy Range Mountains, Laramie makes one feel enlightened and elevated, especially since Laramie is home to the prestigious University of Wyoming. Students, locals, and newcomers alike are welcome to tour the Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site where Butch Cassidy was once imprisoned. Elsewhere, the Historic Laramie Union Pacific Train Depot discusses the values of the railroad to Laramie’s development just as Fort Sanders shows Laramie’s strategic position when protecting the Overland Trail.

Formerly a settlement of the Arapaho and Cheyenne peoples since the 1600s, the Overland or Cherokee Trail—which reaches from Oklahoma to California—contains many artifacts and articles of these noble cultures. The Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest is also a warm and open region for you to feel the benevolent atmosphere of Laramie. Much like many other towns in Wyoming, Laramie is no stranger to exhibiting the allure and enchantment of dinosaurs. Indeed, Laramie has its own version of Jurassic Park at the University of Wyoming’s Geological Museum. Once all the adventures get you exhausted, sleep well at the Old Corral Hotel & Steakhouse or Mountain View Historic Hotel.

Green River

Approximately three hours away from Laramie, Green River will have you wading and wandering through Wyoming’s diverse and dynamic landscapes. As one of the most hospitable small towns in Wyoming, Green River does not disappoint newcomers. All sorts of kayaking and fishing activities can be enjoyed at the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area or along the banks of the Green River , which inspired the name of the town. Meanwhile, the history of outlaws and bandits who have used Green River as a hideout is in full view at the Sweetwater County Museum. Additional fun and sports can be engaged at Rock Springs and the Seedskadee Wildlife Refuge. Though there are not many activities and events in Green River, the town certainly captivates people with its amicable and simplistic ambiance. So give yourself a much-wanted break in the humble dwellings of Green River.

Where fabled outlaws like the Wild Bunch once dominated and where wild mustangs now roam freely, Wyoming has no shortage of exciting and exhilarating small towns for travelers to love. Whether you are admiring the enlightened cultures of Laramie, swimming along Green River’s Green River, or learning more about titular characters from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at Sundance, you will not be disappointed at the big plains of Wyoming.

Gros Ventre Day Tour

• Destination: Wyoming
• Duration: 1 day
• Price: $400

If you are a wildlife enthusiast or photographer, this is your trip!

A full day snowmobile tour, traveling through the Gros Ventre valley, with breathtaking vistas of the Grand Teton Mountain Range. This trip is for individuals wanting to see all the wildlife the Jackson Hole area is famous for; including moose, elk, deer, rocky mountain bighorn sheep, eagles and possibly wolves.

This is what our guests say on TripAdvisor – While it was a shorter ride and vastly different from the day before to Old Faithful it was probably my favorite. We saw wildlife on our way there but the cabin was “just like a mountain man cabin in the movies.” It is just amazing and the vistas from his “outhouse” are fabulous.

The day starts off with an 8.30am pickup at your local accommodations. After arriving at our office in Jackson, we will get you outfitted with all of the snowmobile gear that you will need for your adventure. Your adventure will begin after a 22 mile van ride to the trailhead North-East of town through Grand Teton National Park. During your 50-mile roundtrip snowmobile tour through the Gros Ventre River Valley you will have many opportunities to see wildlife. Lunch will be halfway during your day at the Red Rock Ranch. We will be traveling through critical winter habitat for the wildlife the entire day and therefor are not allowed to venture off-trail at all on this tour. The tour will return back to Jackson around 4.00pm.
