I Want to Go There | U.S. West JACKSON FLY JACKSON HOLE Fly Jackson Hole The area around Jackson, Wyoming, is famous for its incredible natural beauty, which can be explored at Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. According to Kent Elliott of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, Fly Jackson Hole offers a unique way to take in the sights from the sky. “Oftentimes visitors arrive here by ground transportation, and they get these grand views of the mountains that surround us. But to really get a feel of the area, I recommend seeing it by air,” says Elliott. “You have the opportunity to soar over the valley of Jackson Hole, and a private flight around the area takes you to the different mountain ranges and lakes. Plus, you get a close-up view of the Grand Tetons.” Fly Jackson Hole offers a variety of 60- to 90-minute flightseeing tours, including the following four: Summit Tour Passengers soar above the Snake River before heading past the tallest peaks in the Tetons, alpine lakes, waterfalls and wild canyons. Grand Tour This extended tour goes past some of the most remote wilderness in the lower 48 United States and offers views of the nearby mountain ranges. 20 trip planner Family Tour The flight showcases the wilderness of the Gros Ventre Mountains before crossing Jackson Hole to explore the rocky spine of the Tetons. Alpenglow Tour This private tour, designed for couples, takes off around sunset when the sky lights up with the oranges and reds of the evening alpenglow.
