Hot air ballooning Jackson Hole is a magical experience. Drifting on local air currents and taking in the magnificent scenery at elevation is quite a thrill. In the late Summer and Fall, elk can often be viewed as they are moving into the Southern reaches of the valley.
Flights on the Wyoming side of the Tetons
Getting out early and taking in your surroundings from a few thousand feet off of the valley floor, is a true Teton county eye opener. With wildlife being most active in the early a.m. hours, there is a good chance to check out some of the true locals. Even if you have been ballooning before, this is a one of a kind experience. With the Teton range blocking most early morning air currents combined with their awesome height often let you soar to elevations of 9000′ to 10,000′. This puts you 3000′ to 4000′ above the valley floor, offering stunning views.
