Did you know that when you land at Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), you’re landing at the only airport inside a National Park? Among Grand Teton National Park, this arrival is more than just a trip—it’s a breathtaking introduction to one of the most extraordinary places on earth.
As your plane begins its descent, keep that window shade open. If you’re seated on the west side, you’ll get jaw-dropping views of the Teton Range—rising sharply from the valley floor like a painting come to life. On the east side, you might even spot elk grazing near the Snake River as you approach the runway.
At 6,450 feet above sea level, Jackson Hole Airport is one of the highest-elevation airports in the U.S. It’s also one of the most sustainable—its terminal was designed with reclaimed wood and stone to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Every landing is guided by careful noise-abatement flight paths that protect the wildlife and preserve the park’s serenity.
