Course Location
Jackson, the namesake town in the valley known as Jackson Hole, is the beating heart of this famous destination's upscale rustic scene. Western mountain town chic meets serious outdoor offerings: In the winter, skiing (regular, cross-country, snowcat, and heli-), takes center stage; while in summer, there’s plenty of hiking, rock climbing, fly-fishing, rafting, biking, camping, and hot-air ballooning.
This course will take place in the conference room at the Teton Country Fairgrounds.
Planning Your Trip
April weather in Jackson will likely be wet and it may rain or snow. Temperatures are often in the 20's at night and 50's during the day. Like all mountain weather, the conditions can change quickly. Be prepared for mountain conditions if you are camping, and keep an eye on the forecast when packing for your trip. A puffy jacket is a must 12 months of the year!
Lodging rentals abound in Jackson and the surrounding area. There are also many different campsites in the area, both paid and dispersed. If you're considering camping, be sure to give the Forest Service or BLM a call if you have questions about current rules or restrictions.
Specifics for your course like location, a packing list, and meeting times will be available on your Student Dashboard once you've registered. Questions before you register? After you register? Always feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
