Driggs

There is no better way to spend a day than exploring one of the state's numerous small towns. Small-town living reigns supreme in Idaho, so there will be no shortage of charming communities to visit. Driggs is a quiet little town in the heart of the Teton Valley that's big on adventure and natural beauty. It's the ideal base camp for an excursion in eastern Idaho, with the Tetons to the east and the Big Holes to the west. This small town serves as a hub for visitors to the Teton Valley, also known as the Idaho side of the Teton Range.

The Teton Valley is also known as the "quiet side of the Tetons". However, in terms of activities and large landscapes to explore, Teton Valley is a year-round destination. Driggs visitors can reach the backside of Grand Teton National Park by hiking up Teton Canyon. Colorful environments such as Table Rock and Alaska Basin provide postcard views of the spectacular range. Several other multi-use trails in the surrounding Caribou-Targhee National Forest also provide memorable mountain snapshots. The closest town to Grand Targhee Ski Resort is Driggs. This Wyoming ski resort is well-known for its 500-plus inches of snowfall per year. Driggs, 12 miles west of the slopes and across state lines, is a welcoming basecamp for the ski resort. Driggs has a plethora of vacation rentals, as well as a few hotels and cabins.
