Signal Mountain

Signal Mountain in Jackson Hole offers breathtaking views of jagged peaks, towering trees, and a vast valley. Visitors can reach the summit by driving along a scenic 5-mile road that winds its way to the top. As you ascend, you’ll pass through lush forests, gaining almost 1,000 feet in elevation. While the road is well-maintained, previous visitors have mentioned that the narrow switchbacks might make your heart race. Nevertheless, everyone agreed that the drive is absolutely worth it for the stunning vistas. Once you’ve parked your car (free of charge) in the lot, take some time to explore the surrounding area. Don’t forget to check out the Jackson Lake overlook, which is just a short two-minute walk from the parking area.

You’ll find the views particularly stunning at sunrise and sunset when you visit this place. For those seeking more adventure, instead of driving, you have the option to embark on a hike to the peak. The trail covers a moderate distance of 6.8 miles round trip. Some hikers have mentioned that the views along the way might not be as remarkable until you reach the summit, but it’s an excellent trail for observing wildlife.
