WYOMING

Alpine
Located high astride the Continental Divide just 36 miles from Jackson Hole , the charming town of Alpine has everything a snowmobiler could want for a truly remarkable winter getaway . It offers great riding and excellent services in an area that ’ s not overrun by other riders .
It all starts with copious amounts of wondrous snow . This area can get more than 500 inches of snowfall in a good winter , with snow depths up to 12 feet ! When combined with the surrounding scenic and rugged peaks , open bowls and tree-lined hills , that snow provides a lengthy season of high-altitude riding that is second to none .
Whether you want to venture into the deep backcountry for challenging rides or stick mostly to the trails , the Alpine area offers something for every rider . The Wyoming Range snowmobile trail system can entertain visitors who want to pile on some miles and soak up the fabulous scenery without the rigors of off-trail excursions . This system encompasses approximately 350 miles of trails between Alpine and Kemmerer . One trailhead is just one mile from town , plus many more miles of trails are available in immediately adjacent parts of Idaho . One popular ride is from Alpine up through the Greys River area to the Box Y Lodge for lunch and then back to town .
That same trail system also provides groomed access to truly excellent backcountry riding . Most riding is done between 6,000 and 10,000 feet above sea level and can be about as adventurous as you want it to be . Climb , tree-ride and carve to your heart ’ s content .
You can certainly bring your own sleds and equipment – just make sure to get a modestly priced Wyoming trail permit from the Alpine Visitor Center or other local business when you arrive – or you can get anything and everything you need locally . Rental sled choices at Alpine Adventure Rental run from beginner-friendly trail machines to extreme backcountry mountain snowmobiles . Backcountry guide services are available from Lincoln County Customs ,
which offers rentals , parts , accessories and services for all makes and models of sleds . Next Level Riding Clinics with numerous rentals provides extreme adventures to allow you to reach your next level in riding .
Whichever direction you decide to ride in the vast backcountry that includes the Bridger-Teton National Forest , know that weather , snowpack and avalanche reports are available on ridealpine . com , where you can also get access to maps and other information .
Lodging choices in the Alpine area include conventional accommodations in town at the 3 Rivers Motel , Bull Moose Motel and Flying Saddle Resort , or at cabins at the Rockin ’ M Ranch or Box Y Lodge out in the backcountry , or other options as well . A variety of local restaurants offer light fare to full meals . When here , don ’ t miss the Alpine Feed Ground , operated by Wyoming Fish and Game , which draws more than 1,000 elk from December to April and is accessible right at the edge of town .
For good times and adventure , come discover why snowmobilers in the know consider Alpine the best in the West . For more information , visit alpinewy . org and ridealpine . com .
