THE JOURNEY IS THE REASON TO GO
Let the road set the pace.
Wide sagebrush country gradually gives way to mountain views and the Hoback River approach to Jackson. The appeal lies in the scale of the landscape as much as in individual attractions.

Before you drive
Plan fuel and rest stops before long stretches of open country. Wind and winter weather can affect travel.
Make it a satisfying day
Choose a realistic section, then allow time for viewpoints, a town stop and breaks. Scenic mileage rarely tells the whole story of how long an outing will take.
Match the road to your vehicle
Check the exact roads for your car, RV or motorcoach. Tunnel dimensions, turning space, grades and road surfaces can matter as much as distance.
