Teton
The Teton National Forest, along Yellowstone National Park's southern boundary, surrounds Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole on three sides. Teton National Forest was established in 1908, in part from the original National Forest reservation, the Yellowstone Park Timber Land Reserve. Many historic routes into Jackson Hole pass through the Teton National Forest. Early explorers came over Togwotee Pass or along the Hoback River from the east, and departed westward over Teton Pass or through the Snake River Canyon. Today, highways retrace the routes of these explorers, enabling modern visitors to enjoy many of the same areas as the pioneers. Historically, these routes were also important migration routes for bison, elk, and pronghorn antelope.

Opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts include floating the Snake River, fishing in the numerous lakes and streams, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. Winter recreationists will find numerous areas to explore via cross-country skiing or snowmobiling. Downhill enthusiasts have two developed ski areas and numerous

backcountry peaks to enjoy.
