MARCH MADNESS
Here in Jackson Hole, you’ll discover March comes in like a lion and leaves like one, too! The fun factor for the end of the winter season in and around the ski areas is amped up for visitors and locals alike.
After checking out the calendar, see our "More Fun Things to Do" section below for a unique activity to experience this month, too.

Astronomy educators use one of their large aperture telescopes to show you planets, stars, planetary nebulae, galaxies, and more. There is no need to reserve your spot in advance; just come and go as you please. Please park in the main parking area and walk to the far side of the hill following the "Public Stargazing" signs. There is a $10/person recommended donation.

ANOTHER FUN THING TO DO
• VISIT GRANITE HOT SPRINGS
How about a relaxing soak in a 112-degree natural hot springs pool? Granite Hot Springs in the Gros Ventre Mountains is a favorite destination for locals and visitors year 'round but is a particularly special experience during the winter. Reachable only by snowmobile, dog sled, fat bike or on cross country skis in the wintertime, the hot springs is 10 miles in from Hwy 191 on a snow-covered road. You'll pass by beautiful scenery, perhaps some wildlife and the spectacular Granite Falls on your way.
Many outfitters offer the trip or opportunity to rent your own snowmobile, including Leisure Sports, Jackson Hole Iditarod Dog Sled Tours, and Teton Mountain Bike Tours.
