Let the adventure begin! Jackson Hole experiences a true four seasons and outdoor enthusiasts and Tammah guests should be prepared to make the most of their time no matter what time of year. Mid-summer months in Jackson Hole can be rather perfect. High temperatures typically peak in the high 80’s with it cooling down to the low 60’s at night (F). In the Winter, things definitely shift quite a bit. Jackson Hole has some of the highest average snowfall accumulations in the country. High temperatures in Mid-Winter can be in the single digits, with low temperatures at night being in the -20’s to -30’s (F).
On a good year, Jackson Hole receives frequent precipitation. Some rain, some snow, and some of both at the same time. We recommend all of our guests travel with a waterproof layer no matter what season – it’s better to have it when you don’t need it rather than not have it when you do need it.
Do note – there are several local outdoor clothing and gear stores nearby that would be happy to outfit you in appropriate gear if you forgot something at home.
At night you’ll certainly want to have the right layers regardless of the season – it’s not unheard of for temperatures to reach freezing temps even in the peak of summer. It’s a good thing you’ve got the warmth of a community fire, the cover of a unique and spacious geodome, and coziness of premium bedding each and every night of your stay at Tammah – Jackson Hole.
Let’s start from the bottom, shall we? If you plan to do any hiking (and you should - Grand Teton National Park is just a 5-minute drive away) you’ll want proper hiking boots with good tread, ankle support, and waterproofing (if possible) to navigate all the terrain you'll come across.
Whether you are skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or just walking through town, the proper snow shoes are a must. Warm your boots by the fire after a long day in the snow, or dry them on your deck after adventuring in a nearby river or lake.
You’ll also want to consider a pair of camp shoes. Even the best hiking boots are a relief to take off at the end of a 3-hour out-n-back. We’re still working on laying the red carpet throughout camp (may take a few decades) so bring a pair of sneakers or crocs you can wear to relax by the fire.
If you’re into cliff jumping or floating the river, you’ll want these.
Even in a luxurious Tammah tent, life is always better with a nice pair of slippers.
For all your adventures, you’ll want high-ankled, moisture-wicking socks. Good rule of thumb: 2 pairs for every day - one for exploration, one for relaxation.
A comfortable, anti-chafing and fast-drying pair of shorts will make your days hiking a lot more pleasurable. Bring a pair for every day you plan to be out and about.
Moisture-wicking zip-offs are best. Though the climate charts read balmy and mild during the summer, we find the weather can change on a dime here. If you’re into zip-offs you’re in luck. When 80’s turn to 60’s and gusty, it’s nice to have some extra protection. Even if they’re not zip-offs, make sure they’re comfortable for walking long distances, fast drying, and moisture-wicking. Bring a pair for every day you plan to be out and about.
Bring a few extra pairs!
Even in the summer, the nights can be chilly. We recommend bringing warm pajamas and an insulated cap to keep you comfortable all night.
If you’re wearing it in camp, cotton is great, but out on the trails, you’ll want a moisture-wicking, breathable shirt.
Because weather can change quickly, bring a long-sleeve similar to the material of the above T-shirt.
We never know what the weather can do, particularly in May, June, September and October and early mornings/late evenings. Best to be protected with a wool, down or heavy-weight fleece jacket.
Simple, windproof gloves can make a real difference in the middle of a hike in late Spring and early Fall months.
A baseball or full-brimmed hat is best for sun protection.
A beanie to keep you warm in the mornings and evenings.
Make sure it has enough capacity for extra clothes, and everything else below.
Taking a swim in Jenny Lake? Floating down the Snake River? Taking a dip in a Hot Spring nearby? We highly recommend it! However, we do ask that you bring your own personal towel for out-of-camp water adventures.
We recommend each guest carry two liters of water with you while adventuring off-site. Hydration is a top priority when ensuring your own wellbeing while on vacation (you know this, but just as a reminder).
Free rental available on site as well. Ask about bear spray when you check in at the Welcome Center.
You wouldn't think that being just a few more thousand feet closer to the sun at elevation would make a difference, but it does. Protect yourself and re-apply frequently. Sunscreen can also be purchased in the Welcome Center upon arrival.
We of course have one at our location, but be prepared to take your own first aid kit into the park or while adventuring off-site.
Can also be purchased at the Welcome Center upon arrival if needed.
Everything from the King sized mattress to the luxury pillow covers, we have the comfort part covered.
We ask that you bring your own beach towel for off-site adventures, but we have towels for on-site use.
We’ve got the soap, shampoo and conditioner.
Each unit will have full access to power for recharging your cameras and electronics.
Each unit will be outfitted with a small mini-fridge and counter space.
The resort will have a communal BBQ grill onsite to be used as needed for Tammah Guests.
Ask about the evening S'mores each night at Tammah - Jackson Hole when checking in (weather permitting and hours change per season).
