Teton Scenic Byway
State: Idaho
National Forest: Caribou-Targhee National Forest
Length: 68.9 mi / 110.9 km
Time to Allow: Allow 2.5 hours
The Teton Scenic Byway begins at Swan Valley on the Snake River and runs north through Victor and Driggs, where mountain men and fur trappers held their annual North American Rendezvous. With the snowy white and blue spires of the Tetons rising 13,000 feet above sweeping rangelands, it’s not hard to imagine the rip-roaring times of the past, especially if you time your visit with the two-day Rendezvous celebration held in Driggs each August.
After passing through spectacular Targhee National Forest, the Byway connects in Ashton with the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway which takes you to two of the last undisturbed waterfalls of consequence in the West.

Be weather wise. Many byways in National Forests can climb in elevation over thousands of feet, and pass through remote areas. While the scenery is spectacular, it is important when driving in these conditions to be prepared. Check weather forecasts before leaving home, and remember that it becomes cooler and often more prone to storms at higher elevations. Be prepared with jackets, water, and emergency kit in your car.
