Bridger-Teton National Forests Parks and Outdoors Highlights

By Travel Expert: Brian Kevin

With the impressive peaks of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks looming as silent sentinels on the horizon, Bridger-Teton presents its visitors with a wide array of exciting possibilities, from the churning white rapids of the Snake River to shimmering snow-covered summits reaching to 13,785 feet above sea level—and a plethora of adventures in between.
The Eastern sector of the forest embraces the legendary Wind River Mountains. This unique mountain range amazingly contains seven of the ten largest glaciers in the contiguous United States. Hiking the Wind River Range has been a celebrated experience by some of the most skilled mountaineers, hikers, and adventure-seekers.
Wildlife in Bridger-Teton not only includes the grizzly bear, bison, wolverine, elk, antelope, deer, bighorn sheep, and North American lynx, but it features an astonishing 355 species of birds.
The Snake and Yellowstone Rivers, which pass through the Teton Wilderness, offer unforgettable fishing opportunities. The Snake River is so abundant with variety that it even brags its very own species of fish. The trout never cease to astonish an angler, and a 30- to 40-pounder is not necessarily unheard of in the region. When the Snake River opens for fishing in April, grab your gear and go fish.
Horseback riders can explore the gravelly cliffs at McDougal Pass on a long and stunning high-country loop in the Salt River Range. Begin at the end of Strawberry Creek Road off of Highway 89, and then trace a 20-mile loop along the Strawberry Creek, Cabin Creek Peak, and Covey Cutoff trails.
