Airport Information
 

   
  The Jackson Airport lies 40 miles to the east inside Teton National Park. The Idaho Falls Airport is 70 miles to the west. Both are nice little regional airports serving major carriers.

The reason we’ve listed airports in this section is the Driggs Airport. It’s private but it’s a gas. One of the best restaurants in the area, Warbirds, takes up most of the space. We love to come for brunch in the summer, sit outside next to the runway and watch all the private jets land and take off. Inside, next to the restaurant, is a hanger filled with retired war planes, both prop and jet, they belong to valley residents and are parked in a museum setting, hence the restaurant name. Once a year the plane owners take all the local kids up for a spin in these special planes, we go every year.

The airport also offers glider flights and small plane flights over the Grand Tetons. Maybe we’ll try a glider flight this summer. This must be a good place for gliders as it is lousy with hot air balloons all summer long. I’m not sure how hot air balloons race but they have a big one every Forth of July.
