Good spot for very casual, hearty eats before you embark on an outdoor adventure. House made donuts are awesome, anything with their house made bacon is great; if you like something hearty and robust with a Korean flair, get the rice bowl... Call to check their hours first as they vary.

The main (and largest) grocery store in the Valley. It is pretty large and well-stocked for a town of this size. They do have a deli bar, coffee joint, and carry-out bar if you're looking for something quick and simple but that food is nothing to write home about.

An excellent place to start a hike up to Taggert Lake or Brady Lake – especially popular in the winter as it is the spot where the park road closes. From here you can snowshoe or hike (depending on conditions) up to Taggert and Brady Lakes. Incredible views of the Tetons. You can also ski or fat bike along the road through the park which is unplowed.

Our recommended put-in on the Teton River for a lazy 2-4 hr paddle between South Bates Bridge and Bates Bridge take-out.
If you want to keep going, you can continue past Bates Bridge to Rainey (Big Eddy) take-out. Bates to Rainey is probably the most popular stretch, which is why we like South Bates to Bates, which tends to be a little less busy and also a bit shorter in length.
This is probably the most likely place you will see a moose. We've done it many times and see at least 1 moose probably 80% of the time. Give them a wide berth if they are in the water.

Great recently-redeveloped mineral hot springs just a little south of Jackson (in the Hoback Junction area). They've developed it really nicely with several different small soaking pools and a kind of natural-feeling vibe. Great for families and individuals alike. I believe you need a reservation (which also helps maintain crowding).

Past Jackson and a few miles drive up Hoback Canyon and then a few miles up the dirt Granite Creek road will terminate at the Granite Hot Springs pool. It's a forest service-run pool. Pretty cheap entry fee. No frills but in a beautiful wooded setting.
The road up Granite Creek is not plowed in winter but you can still get there with snowmobiles. I think some outfits run snowmobile and dog sledding tours up that road to the hot springs.

Avoid soft shoulders on rural roads in winter
For the rural snow-packed roads, drive like a local – in the center of the road unless passing another car. It will help you avoid the soft shoulders that like to suck cars and trucks into snow banks and ditches. Slow and steady wins the snow driving race.
