WYOMINGAlpine 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 entertains 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 located 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 that you get a modestly priced Wyoming trail permit from the Alpine Visitor Center or other local business when
