Driving Here

Did you know that Jackson is idle-free (even on the coldest of days)? Turning cars off instead of letting them idle reduces emissions, improves air quality, and saves money. Idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than restarting your engine.

Avoid driving during commuter hours, especially during the busy summer season. Jackson Hole is just as much of an employer as a visitor destination, and about 40% of local employees commute to work (including a quarter of town police, school district staff, and fire/EMS employees), while more than half of all sheriff’s office and Lower Valley Energy employees commute from outside the county. Avoid rush hours by catching the cooler morning temperatures with an early drive to Grand Teton National Park, or stay for the golden hour and return to your hotel or grab a bite after 6:30 p.m.

Every year, Jackson sees a higher number of electric vehicles in the valley, which has grown our access to and availability of EV charging stations. Be sure to utilize charging stations not only in Teton County but across the state of Wyoming during your visit.

In an effort to preserve our beautiful backyard, we don’t use salt on icy roads in the winter. Drive cautiously when roads are slick and begin your deceleration early to ensure you don’t slide through a stop sign or bump into the vehicle in front of you. Jackson is located in a mountainous valley and requires driving on well-maintained but remote and winding roads, sometimes without cellphone service or gas stations nearby. Be sure to fuel up and check road conditions with the Wyoming Department of Transportation. When driving, be sure to check the weather since roads sometimes close in the winter due to hazardous driving conditions.
