Jackson Hole Provides an Amazing Weekend Getaway Destination
When you make Jackson Hole your weekend getaway destination of choice, you’ll find yourself immersed in gorgeous surroundings every day of your stay.

Jackson Hole has scenic charm that’s hard to top and is a fan-favorite destination for wildlife viewing. Here, you can spend two days indulging in the best of in-town fun, or head off to more rugged trails to explore destinations unknown. Either way, it’s bound to be a trip that has you coming back for more.
Make Sure to Get Here as Early as Possible on Saturday Morning
Truly, the key to getting the most out of your weekend away in Jackson Hole is to get things started as early as possible on Saturday morning. That gives you time to enjoy admiring the sunrise over the mountain peaks before making your way to Persephone Bakery for breakfast. Located at 145 E Broadway Avenue, this morning stop opens at 7:00 am and serves up everything from pastries and coffee to delicious artisanal breads.
Once you’re feeling satisfied and ready for fun ahead, it’s time to make your way to the iconic Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. If your weekend getaway is happening in the wintertime, you’ll find this is the very best place to be for great area skiing and snowboarding alike. If you find yourself here in the warm-weather months, it’s an amazing opportunity to spend quality time hiking the mountain trails. You can also opt for a scenic ride up the aerial tramway, or lean into thrills with some paragliding alongside a local expert.
Enjoy an Afternoon with a Focus on Wildlife
When you’ve had a chance to explore Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, it’s time to treat yourself to a tasty lunch at Corbet’s Cabin. Located at Rendezvous Peak in Teton Village, this sky-high eatery is a wonderful place to fill up on gourmet waffles and invest in some whimsical waffle-themed merchandise, too!
Afterward, you’ll want to make your way over to the National Elk Refuge. This is an incredible place to get a great view out over the local elk herd, but the space also hosts bison, bald eagles, and moose at certain times of the year. During the winter months, your time here can even include a sleigh ride alongside family and friends.
Dine in Style

Afterward, you’ll want to take time to enjoy a leisurely brunch over at Café Genevieve on East Broadway Avenue. Sitting in a historic and charming log cabin, this eatery serves up delicious options like sandwiches, burgers, paninis, and traditional American breakfast fare daily until 2:00 p.m.
Explore Town Square
After brunch, it’s time to explore Town Square for yourself. This vibrant area of town plays host to community events and festivals throughout the year. It’s also where you’ll find a variety of boutique shops to check out when a little retail therapy is desired. Above all, you’ll want to take a moment to snap a photo with your fellow travelers in front of one of the four elk antler arches that adorn this popular part of town.
