Enjoy Being There for Gate Opening Day at Yellowstone
While ski season in Jackson Hole begins to wind down this time of year with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort shuttering for the season on April 13 and Grand Targhee Resort closing for the season on April 20, Yellowstone National Park will alternatively be ready to open additional gates to visitors. The west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, which is easily within reach of Jackson Hole, opens back up to visitors for the season on the third Friday in April starting at 8:00 am. This means visitors who happen to be in the area will be first to book those exciting spring wildlife tours, hiking excursions and sightseeing adventures in good company well before summer crowds roll in once again.

There’s never a wrong time of year to visit Jackson Hole, but there’s something refreshingly exciting about a fall trip this way. The following are just a few of the many reasons to head this way when autumn rolls around.
Enjoy a Less Crowded Experience
Travelers who take time to enjoy a getaway to scenic Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the fall are truly in for a treat, not to mention far fewer crowds than you’ll find here during peak summer travel times. Summer is understandably a busy time for visitors looking to maximize their access to national parks and all of the charm Jackson Hole inevitably offers up. That said, if you’re the type of traveler that appreciates plenty of room to move and not having to worry about waiting in line for anything at all, fall is a better time of year to head this way. Walking around town in autumn is a breeze and enjoying time in the parks is just as pleasant and stress-free. You don’t even have to worry about not being able to dine at your favorite restaurants because there shouldn’t be any stiff competition when it comes to reservations like there could be in the summer months.
You Can Make the Most of Cooler Temperatures
Summer can see temperatures rise significantly across Jackson Hole, but by the time fall rolls around, comfortable temperatures are truly the norm for visitors. September travelers can expect highs to linger in the 70s midday with nighttime temps dropping to the 30s. This means you’ll want to pack in layers, but you can also make the most of outdoor fun without having to sweat it out!
It’s the Perfect Time to Explore National Parks
Year-round Grand Teton National Park is a top attraction for guests who are heading to Jackson Hole. It’s even more appealing in the fall when the crowds have dissipated and the views are top-notch. Those who are looking forward to a fall hike will want to be sure to make time for the trail that runs by Phelps Lake as well as Cascade Canyon and Granite Canyon routes. The bears haven’t quite gone into hibernation by fall, so being prepared on the trails this time of year is still important. It’s also an idyllic season to view fall foliage! Late September tends to be a terrific time to admire the changing colors with trees turning from yellow to gold and eventually to deep reds throughout the park. If finding the best views of fall foliage is your goal, you won’t have trouble doing so and you’re going to want to be sure your camera is ready to go for the experience.
Fall Is the Season for Artistic Inspiration
Jackson Hole is a great destination for travelers who enjoy participating in fun local events and festivities year-round, but fall comes with some particularly fun experiences to look forward to. In September, fall visitors will be right on time to make the most of the fun waiting at the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival. In 2023, the festival is slated to run from September 6th through September 17th and will celebrate its 39th year of bringing artistic inspiration to the area. Visitors are invited to make the most of special festival events held at local galleries and embrace their artistic leanings of all kinds!
You Can Find Time to Enjoy Fall Fly Fishing
If you’re a traveler that loves every second spent casting a line, fly fishing outings during the fall in Jackson Hole might just be the highlight of your adventure. Jackson Hole is a great place for experts and novice fly fishing enthusiasts alike to put their skills to the test in beautiful and inspiring surroundings. September and October are often pointed to as prime fishing months in the area—especially since this is when the Cutthroat Trout reaches high numbers in the water.
Mesmerizing Wildlife Tours Await
Before many animals take to their dens for the winter, fall offers up a chance to observe wildlife in Jackson Hole complete with stunning and colorful backdrops in the national parks. An ideal way to do this is to sign up for an official wildlife tour experience through a company like Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris. Alongside a knowledgeable and friendly guide, fall visitors can make their way through Jackson Hole and beyond, observing everything from bears and moose to elks and bison too. It’s a great chance to learn more about these amazing creatures during an ideal time of year for many wildlife populations in the area.
