It doesn’t get any more picturesque than a beautiful lake with a backdrop of majestic mountains. That’s exactly what you will find at Colter Bay. The scenery here is absolutely picture-perfect.
Flickr/Don Graham Colter Bay is located in the northern section of Grand Teton National Park on the northeastern side of Jackson Lake.
Flickr/Dave Bezaire The Colter Bay District is nestled between the town of Moose and Yellowstone National Park. It’s 25 miles north of Moose and 20 miles south of Yellowstone National Park.
Flickr/stevetulk This area produces magical scenery like this one with the mirror image of the Tetons reflected in the pristine waters of Jackson Lake. If there are clouds in the sky, even the reflection of the clouds emanate from the lake.

Flickr/Mark Goebel You can get an insider’s view of the area, just like the early explorers did, by traveling on horseback. You can go on a 1 or 2-hour horseback ride that will take you into the heart of the area where you can appreciate the lush forests, beautiful flowers and breathtaking vistas of the Jackson Hole area and edges of Yellowstone National Park.
Flickr/jpc.raleigh Hiking along the shores of Jackson Lake or to Grand View Point above Emma Matilda and Two Ocean lakes will also give you a breathtaking perspective of views from within and views from a distance.
