Jackson Hole Picnic Areas
Head to Teton Village and hike the Wildflower Trail to access a unique picnic spot halfway on the trail. Take a break at the shaded picnic table and soar through the air on the tree swing while taking in the mountain views. There is only one picnic table here, so we recommend heading out early to ensure your spot.
Ride up the gondola to access the high-altitude hiking trail, Cirque Trail, which connects Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Bridger-Teton, and Grand Teton. This difficult trail travels to and from the summit of Rendezvous Mountain and includes a picnic table near the Bridger Gondola. Skip the hike and take your family to the Solitude Station Patio for a picnic at the fire pit area.
