With a round-trip time of 2.5 to 3 hours, this 10-mile Float Trip is the ideal length: long enough for a full river adventure, yet short enough to allow you to enjoy other Jackson Hole activities the same day.

All of our trips start in Moose, Wyoming. Park in the Float Trip Parking Lot across the street from the GTNP Visitor's Center. Your boatman will pick you up in a green Barker-Ewing van, and transport you the launch site, ten miles upriver. Your boatman will guide you down the Snake, and you'll end the trip about 100 yards from your car.
