The season extends from June 15 to September 15. During that time a full schedule of activities is carried on by the naturalist staff of the park and food and lodging are available in or near the park. During the remainder of the year accommodations are limited chiefly to those provided in the town of Jackson, a few miles south of the park.

The four major highways leading to the park are kept open during the winter months and visitors can enjoy the scenic wonders of the Teton Range in its winter setting and participate in the winter sports for which Jackson Hole is famous.
