Summer Activities

Riding

The daily schedule at Triangle X centers around horseback riding. Completely surrounded by vast expanses of National Park and National Forest Lands, the Triangle X offers superb horseback riding. You will enjoy changing vistas of the Teton Range and Snake River valley as you travel a great variety of trails. Experience rides along the river where elk, moose and bison are often seen; over sagebrush flats; through green foothill meadows with colorful wildflowers; or to the top of timbered mountains. You can always choose from a variety of rides, ranging from scenic "slow" rides to advanced rides covering longer distances. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, you'll be given a personal mount from our string of well trained saddle horses. Beginners are given special attention and soon come to feel like "old hands" on the trail. We have a riding weight limit of 250 pounds.

Little Wranglers

One unique feature of the ranch is the fun it offers young guests through the well supervised Little Wranglers Program for youngsters - five through twelve. Your children will enjoy their own horseback rides and lessons, swimming trips and even their own dining room in the ranch lodge.

Moms, dads and children all agree that the little wrangler activities help make a stay at the Triangle X a perfect family vacation.

Teenagers

Like the kids, young adults thirteen to nineteen years of age also have there own program. Teens enjoy their own rides including an overnight ride. They also have their own tables in the adult dinning room and get to spend an evening in Jackson with their wranlgers - catching dinner and a movie.

The freedom this well supervised program helps make a stay at Triangle X the trip of a lifetime.

Cookouts

Take pleasure in three cookouts during your week's stay with us.

Sunday- Your first night at Triangle X Ranch is highlighted with an evening cookout. You will feast on a hearty BBQ dinner as the sun casts evening shadows on the Tetons. Begin making new friends, as the Turners personally welcome you to their home.

Wednesday - On Wednesday evening rides leave the ranch a little later than usual, stopping along a side channel of the Snake River at Triangle X Ranch's private river cookout site. Enjoy late day moods along the river, complimented by a steak dinner and live folk song entertainment. Riding home at sunset is the perfect end to the perfect day.

Friday - Early to rise on Friday as your horse awaits and up the hill you go to the famous Spencer's Mountain for a delicious breakfast cookout. Witness views words cannot describe.

Hiking, Photography, Swimming, Sightseeing

The ranch is ideally located for varied hiking, ranging from the gentle terrain of the valley floor and surrounding foothills to the more challenging trails into the Teton and Gros Ventre Ranges. Photographers will find themselves happily kept busy capturing the breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and wildflower displays--or just trying to keep up with the family.

Swimmers can enjoy an old fashioned swimming hole in a side channel of the river.

There are numerous possibilities for scenic auto trips. Grand Teton National Park offers many things to see and do. Yellowstone National Park, only 32 miles away, can easily be visited with a day trip from the ranch.

Trout Fishing

Jackson Hole has hundreds of miles of streams and numerous lakes where you can pursue a variety of trout species to your heart's content. The Snake River, a great cutthroat trout stream, winds its way through the ranch property. You'll find miles of good banks to fish on your own, or the ranch can provide you with a guide and drift boat for an enjoyable day of float fishing. Lake fishing is also available.

Evening Entertainment

Evenings at the ranch are always enjoyable. Each week we schedule a square dance, an informative naturalist presentation, and presentation on the history of the ranch and Jackson Hole area.

The town of Jackson offers a wonderful rodeo, musical theaters, as well as our excellent Grand Teton Music Festival.
