The Snake River Mountain Range is located in Wyoming, between Teton Valley and Jackson Hole. It sits on the eastern border of the Grand Teton Mountains, offering rugged landscapes and incredible scenery. It is famous for its recreation options and adventures, as well as many tours.
Wyoming's Snake River Mountain Range is one of the jewels of the Rocky Mountains, extending from Jackson Hole into Idaho. In fact, it is the offshoot of the Grand Tetons, attracting climbers, mountaineers, hikers and other sports lovers from across the globe.
The Snake River Mountains are very rugged, capped with numerous glaciers, alpine vegetation, trees and cut through by deep rivers and canyons. Their unstable and dynamic landscape is frequented by earth flows and landslides. In the higher levels, the mountains are jewelled by the Lower Palisades and Upper Palisades lakes and flower-filled meadows. Its tallest peak rises some ten thousand feet, known to most as Mount Baird. Its isolated Palisades Roadless Area is a protected wilderness encompassing almost all of the mountains in the range.
Many wild creatures call the Snake River Mountains home. These include mountain goats, moose, elk, black bears, peregrine falcons, deer, wolves and grizzly bears. Fishermen delight with an abundance of trout in the Snake River and the Big Elk, Palisades, Rainey, Fall, Mosquito and Pine creeks.
Other popular recreational pursuits are numerous. The most popular are hunting, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, camping and wildlife watching. In fact, the range has a handful of notable trails, including the West Table Creek, East Table Creek, Cabin Creek, Dog Creek, Fall Creek and Mosquito Creek trails.
