Details

Jackson, Wyoming is a gateway to some of the most dynamic backcountry terrain in the American West, where rugged landscapes meet adrenaline-fueled outdoor pursuits. Jackson Hole Backcountry Rentals taps into this raw playground by offering a fleet of high-performance off-road vehicles and touring motorcycles designed to push limits while uncovering wild lands. Whether you're steering a Honda Talon 1000 two-seater or piloting a Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited, the gear here blends power with precision for front-row access to Jackson’s expansive network of trails and open spaces.

The region behind Jackson is defined by sharp mountain ridges, dense pine forests, and sweeping vistas that include parts of the Gros Ventre Range and the periphery of Grand Teton National Park. While the Tetons dominate the skyline, the foothills and backcountry trails are where the terrain tests both machine and rider with varied rock formations and loose, uneven ground. Jackson Hole Backcountry Rentals provides vehicles built to handle these demanding conditions—from the versatility of the Honda Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe to the winter-ready Ski-Doo Summit models equipped for deep snow and steep ascents.

What sets this operation apart is its ability to deliver access to Jackson’s less-traveled spaces with state-of-the-art 4x4 tow vehicles like the Chevy Express passenger vans and Toyota Sequoia, enabling group outings across seasons. The range of available machines supports everything from rugged off-roading to scenic backcountry touring on two wheels, appealing to both motor enthusiasts and nature lovers eager to enjoy Wyoming’s vast landscape.

The surrounding area combines earthy Wyoming grit with untouched wilderness, where elk, moose, and eagles are common sights. Winter brings another layer of adventure with snowmobiling on powder-dusted trails, while the warmer months open the door to high-desert riding and mountain trailblazing. Jackson Hole Backcountry Rentals embodies this spirit of discovery with reliable, top-tier vehicles that bring the raw landscapes of Wyoming into reach for riders and drivers aiming to tackle off-road challenges with confidence and excitement.
