In the winter season (December through April), we offer extensive snowmobiling, including extreme riding in the 2.5 million acres of land surrounding us with over 600 miles of groomed trails. We also offer dog sledding onsite! Several employees bring equipment to enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowboarding in the National Forest. Additionally, we have opportunities out of Jackson, WY with the Teton Tour Company and Scenic Safaris.
In the summer season (May through October), we take advantage of the warmer weather with all types of outdoor activities, for guests and employees alike. TML provides horseback riding on site, ranging from one hour to overnight beginner rides. During your time off, there is plenty to do in the Jackson Hole valley such as fishing, hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, float trips, and covered wagon cookouts. Hiking opportunities are endless in this region with the Bridger Teton National Forest and Wind River Mountains out our front door, the Teton Wilderness out our back door, Grand Teton National Park located 20 minutes west, and Yellowstone about an hour from our location. Additionally, we have opportunities out of Jackson, WY with Mad River Boat Tours.
Between our seasons, during the months of April and November, we continue to employ a few housekeepers, maintenance, and our management staff.

Togwotee offers room and board for our staff at a nominal cost, however, room including utilities are FREE this season. Board is $100/pay period (bi-weekly), which includes three meals a day in our Employee Dining Room.
Employee housing is dorm-style: two individuals per room with a bathroom in each room. Some rooms have a chair, a small table/counter space, and possibly a microwave and TV. In an attempt to pair individuals with similar interests, a Housing Questionnaire is sent to each employee before the season begins. Once the season begins there is little to no swapping rooms. Employees are expected to live in a hospitable manner with their roommate(s).
A $125 cash deposit is due at the time of check-in. The rooms are inspected mid-season as well as check-out. Employees will be refunded their full deposit, minus any housing damages when they check out of their room.
Employees of Teton Tour Company and Sands Whitewater Rafting are not eligible for housing at Togwotee Mountain Lodge and will need to secure their own living arrangements in or near Jackson, WY.
