Rafting Snake Canyon
Alpine, a growing community with a population of 550 is located at the point where three Wyoming Rivers (the Snake, Grays and Salt) meet. The town is completely surrounded by National Forest and is connected to Jackson Hole by the Snake River Canyon making it a gateway to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park.
Alpine Area
Alpine is known as headquarters for water sports recreation on Palisades Reservoir near the town and for the outstanding fishing areas, and with the many streams and three rivers converging in Alpine, local fishing is among the best in Wyoming. Portions of the Grey’s River are designated fly-fishing only. The Alpine Wildlife Viewing Site, two miles south of town, features a kiosk and interpretive signs about the area's wetlands habitat. There is an Elk Refuge just one mile south of town with a herd of over 1,000 that return each winter and are visible from the highway.
Star Valley
With 500 inches of annual snowfall Alpine consistently rates in the top ten in the west for snowmobiling. There are also many trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing for a quieter winter activity.
