Match your flight to the season
The airport may work year-round while the road to your destination does not. Check the specific park corridor.
Teton Park Road
The stretch from Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain Lodge is normally reserved for nonmotorized travel from November through April. Reaching Moose does not mean you can continue along the full scenic road.
The section between Granite Canyon and Death Canyon trailheads normally closes to vehicles from November into early summer. Check the corridor before choosing the Granite Canyon route.
The airport lists taxis and some lodge shuttles. Lodge transfers require advance arrangements with your lodging company. Confirm onward travel for the places you want to visit.
Which airport is closest to Grand Teton National Park?
Jackson Hole Airport is inside the park. Our route to the Moose Entrance is 6 road miles, about 11 min without stops. The nearest entrance is not necessarily the nearest one to your lodging.
How far is Idaho Falls airport from Grand Teton?
Our route to the Moose Entrance is 104 road miles and about 2 h 27 min without stops. NPS advises considering the season, vehicle size and driving experience when choosing Teton Pass or the Snake River Canyon approach.
Can I visit Grand Teton without renting a car?
Some lodges offer airport shuttles by advance reservation, and taxis are available at JAC. Arrange transfers with the lodging company before booking; an airport ride does not cover every stop inside the park.
Can I drive Teton Park Road in winter?
The Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain Lodge section is normally for nonmotorized travel from November through April. Check road status before using a scenic-road route to reach your accommodation.
Can I sleep overnight at Jackson Hole Airport?
No. The airport does not allow overnight stays in the terminal or sleeping in vehicles on airport property. Book accommodation for a late arrival or early departure.
