Description

The Grand Teton National Park has plenty of family-friendly trails, meaning that they are easy and relatively short, but still stunningly beautiful. Each hike detailed in this book is less than 3 miles roundtrip and leads you down forested paths to blue clear waters surrounded by the backdrop of the beautiful Teton mountain ranges. Your vacation will be one Instagram-worthy photo after another. An option to take a day trip to Yellowstone’s thermal basins is also included.

This 45 page itinerary includes:

Where To Stay

• Recommended in-park dining and lodging recommendations as well as specific condos and hotels located in the nearby towns of Teton Village and Jackson.

• The lodging choices for each destination have been carefully selected for their ideal location, price point, safety, and proximity to the day’s activities. We tell you the best area to stay so you can minimize driving or walking distances and maximize your moments having fun.

Where To Eat

• Where to eat in Jackson, WY as well as the closest places to eat depending upon where you are in the park

• Local dining establishments are highlighted. The kind where children are welcome but isn't necessarily a restaurant geared primarily towards kids. You won't find many restaurant chains in our itineraries, just good local food mirroring the destination's culture. This could mean a food truck, a pizza place, or a nice sit-down restaurant, but always delicious. If there are any local brews, specialty foods, wines, or coffee houses around, we'll mention those too.

• The organization of each day has been thoughtfully planned in order to group activities together by proximity, ideal time of day to visit, and the best nearby dining choices. It’s all been laid out for you, along with directions, maps, travel tips, links to more info, and more. We cover the most worthwhile activities to do in a destination (based on our own family’s reviews) without forgetting that vacations are meant to be fun and relaxing, not a list to be checked off while hauling around whining children.

  You’ll find plenty of outdoor activities for the family as well as cultural and historical sites unique to the destination. Many itineraries include easy hikes, bike rides, and float trips that have been selected for their kid-friendly length and ease of difficulty as well as their scenic beauty. (Always worth it!) We are all about getting families outdoors so we include as much fresh air as we can in our itineraries, whether it is a day-long trek in a national park or just the location of a fantastic playground perfect for a break from sightseeing.
