Navigating Jackson Hole: Riding, Biking & Driving
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, getting around Jackson Hole is an essential part of your experience.
As a community with several nooks and crannies for lodging, dining, and exploration, having the right information, resources, and a navigation plan will set you up for success to easily explore all that this stunning region has to offer. Plan your trip by learning about the various transportation options available to visitors in Jackson Hole, including public transit, car rentals, taxis, and bikes.
Public Transportation
From the town square to Teton Village, travel the valley without the stress of driving.
The START Bus is the local public transportation system that provides both a free in-town shuttle as well as a paid service to Teton Village, Wyoming; Teton County, Idaho; and Alpine, Wyoming. Numerous bus stops are strategically located around town. Be sure to arrive at your stop 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive and have exact cash fare ready, since drivers can’t make change and don’t accept credit cards.
Local Tip
Not bringing or renting a car but still want to spend time in the National Parks? Book a tour! Many guide companies and wildlife tours also provide transportation, which is a great way to both experience wild areas with a first-class guide and travel without your own vehicle.
Jackson Hole Pathways
Local bike pathways in Jackson Hole create a vibrant and sustainable form of transportation and recreation.
With over 60 miles of paved bike pathways connecting nearly every neighborhood in Jackson Hole, commuting by bike is a fun and accessible way to explore the valley. Whether you’re pedaling to get a breakfast croissant and espresso, to the grocery store and back, or to a jaunt in the Tetons for a scenic spin, local nonprofit Friends of Pathways has clearly marked every intersection with signage to help you find your way on our paved paradise.
About a dozen places in the valley offer bike rentals, including road, gravel, mountain, and electric bikes. You can find bike shops in Jackson, Wilson, and Teton Village.
