Teton Pass sits at 2,575 metres (8,431 feet) and connects Victor and Teton Valley on the Idaho side with Wilson and Jackson Hole on the Wyoming side. The drive over is spectacular in both directions: going east, the Grand Teton suddenly appears over the ridge as you descend toward Jackson Hole; going west, you see the entire width of Teton Valley spread below with the Snake River Range in the distance.
In winter the pass is one of the better backcountry ski areas in the Tetons, attracting serious skiers who want steep untracked powder without the crowds of the resort. The Highway 33 corridor pulls a daily stream of workers who live in Victor and commute to Jackson. In summer the pass is excellent for hiking, mountain biking, and wildflower viewing.
