Cruise Skyline Drive
One of our favorite drives in the county is Skyline Drive above Fremont Lake. Leaving Pinedale the road weaves its way up and around Fremont Lake with stunning views all around. At around 9,500ft the road dead-ends at a parking lot with trailhead options for hikers of all skill levels.

Hike Sacred Rim Trail
As far as hiking goes, Pinedale has it all. One of our favorite hikes is the Sacred Rim Trail located at the end of Skyline Drive in Elkhart Park. With relatively little elevation gain, this hike offers mountain vistas while strolling through forests of pine trees, bubbling creeks and small grass covered meadows. The trail ends at a cliff face that faces the Wind River Range with spectacular views of the alpine lakes and mountain peaks. You won’t find this hike on your average trail map and the locals like to keep it a secret. Ask us for tips on how to get to the hike!

Drive to Soda Lake
This is the drive that convinced our family to move to Pinedale. Traveling out of Pinedale the paved road quickly turns into a dirt path that is surrounded by curious cattle and free range horses. Soda Lake is a smaller lake with a stunning view of the snow capped peaks in the distance. Great option for a quick and easy drive with good views.

Pinedale is home to the White Pine Ski Resort located just a 15 minute drive north of town. White Pine is the perfect option for families with little ones and those who want to avoid the expensive resorts in Jackson Hole. You can rent equipment at the resort if you don’t have your own.
