Ways to save
- Visit in the shoulder seasons (May-June or Sept-Oct) for lodging savings of 20-40% compared to peak winter/summer rates.
- Stay in budget-friendly lodging outside of the immediate town square, such as hotels further down Highway 89 or consider Airbnb/VRBO rentals in surrounding areas like Driggs, ID (20-30 min drive) for savings of $50-$100+ per night.
- Pack snacks and drinks from a local grocery store (like Albertsons or Smith's) to avoid inflated prices at convenience stores and on the mountains, saving $5-$10 per person per outing.
- Eat at local diners or casual restaurants like Jackson Hole Drug for breakfast/lunch which can cost $10-$15 per person vs. $20-$30+ at upscale restaurants.
- Utilize the START Bus public transportation system in Jackson Hole to get around town and to Teton Village for $3 per ride, avoiding costly taxi fares ($15-$25 per trip) or parking fees.
- Focus on free outdoor activities like hiking in Grand Teton National Park (entrance fee applies per vehicle, but many activities within are free), exploring the National Elk Refuge, or walking around the town square, saving on guided tours or paid attractions.
- Consider cooking some meals if your accommodation has a kitchen. Groceries for a few meals can cost $30-$50 for two people, significantly less than eating out for all meals ($70-$150+ per day for two).
