I have questions!!!!!!!
Also, we have one full day in the Tetons before we drive up to Yellowstone. I wanted to do a float trip but they are sold out. We will be staying at Signal Mountain Lodge. What should we do, and where? Hike, swim? Is the Jackson Hole Aerial Tram on top of Rendezvous Mountain close by? How about the Alpine Slide? I don't mind driving 30-45 minutes one way to something if it is worth it.
Thanks!
I think the Aerial Tram to Rendezvous Mountain is no longer operating. We went up it a couple years ago and I thought they said it would be taken out of commission at the end of the summer. You might want to double check when you get there.
We had a blast on the Alpine Slide! It's in the Snow King resort which is in the town of Jackson Hole. You can see the slide on the side of the hill as you drive into town from GTNP, it's literally right in front of you, albeit a ways away.
There are a ton of rafting companies operating in the Teton area so the chances of someone having an opening are good. However, some companies are probably better than others (safety and guide wise) so it's helpful to have some recommendations to work with. Check at Signal Mountain and see who they recommend. Btw, we found the restaurant at Signal Hill to be excellent a couple years ago. Hopefully that hasn't changed too much in the ensuing years.
Have fun!
Edited to add: Looks like there's a new Aerial Tram running in Teton Village now up to Rendezvous Point. Sorry for my prior info. It's definitely further to Teton Village than into Jackson Hole and the Alpine Slide BUT the view from Rendezvous Point is pretty impressive.
