Biking is primarily on paved roads, with some gravel sections and paved bike paths in Grand Teton National Park. Terrain ranges from level to rolling, with longer climbs on the long options. Some road sections can be busy with car traffic.
Kid-friendly routes are shorter with minimal elevation gain, and alternate kids’ activities are available on days with longer rides. Some sections are on roads with traffic, and while bike paths are common, kids should be comfortable riding with cars.
Hiking routes follow rolling trails through meadows, forest and mountainside, with some paved paths and boardwalk sections near geothermal features. Some routes include exposed sections.
