Stretching for 40 miles just east of the Idaho state line, the Teton Mountain Range is a downright amazing wonder. The range’s unique mountain peaks are a beloved backdrop throughout the Teton Valley, and seeing them in-person never fails to evoke awe. However, it’s one thing to see the Tetons from afar, and something else entirely to enjoy a bird’s-eye-view of them! That’s exactly what you’ll receive when you take on one of the scenic flights offered by Teton Aviation Center.
Located at the Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport in the Teton Valley, the Teton Aviation Center is an FBO (Fixed Base Operation) and flight school where pilots come to earn their wings. Additionally, they offer breathtaking scenic flights to the nearby Teton Mountains!
For many, flying in an airplane has become something akin to riding a city bus. The seats are cramped, the windows are small, and let's be honest, the snacks could be better. However, that is definitely NOT the case for the scenic flights offered at Teton Aviation Center.
With the help of a professional pilot, you can experience what it's like to fly above one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the West. You simply won't be able to pull your gaze away from the windows and the breathtaking natural features below.
Scenic flights are given in either the Cessna HawkZP or Quest Kodiak airplane. During the flight, the pilot will take you past the many mountains, canyons, and lakes that comprise the magnificent Teton Range.
Additionally, your party will enjoy views of iconic destinations like Yellowstone National Park, Grand Targhee, Jackson Hole Aerial Tram, and so much more. On a clear day with perfect conditions, you can spot up to seven different mountain ranges!
Flights last approximately an hour. The Cessna can accommodate between one to three passengers, whereas the Quest Kodiak can accommodate up to seven passengers. The minimum age for any flight is ten years old without an adult, or six years old with an adult.
Flying past the majestic Teton Mountains should officially be on your bucket list! Afterward, you can enjoy a lovely meal at the Warbirds Cafe, which offers amazing views of planes taking off and landing right from your table. Learn more about the scenic flights at Teton Aviation Center here.
