TOWN OF ALPINE, WYOMING
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 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 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 mountain sleds. 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 access maps and other information.
Lodging choices in the Alpine area include conventional accommodations in town at the 3 Rivers Motel, Cobblestone Hotel & Suites, Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham, 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 everything from light fare to full meals. And don’ t miss the Alpine Feed Ground, operated by Wyoming Fish and Game. It draws more than 1,000 elk from December to April and is accessible right at the edge of town.
