Why Hydration Matters in the Teton Valley

After a long day hiking in the Tetons or rafting the Snake River, your body needs more than water—it needs smart summer hydration. With high elevation, intense sun, and hours of outdoor adventure, summer hydration in Jackson Hole is critical for recovery and performance. Whether you're exploring Jenny Lake, biking Snow King, or floating the Snake, what you do after matters just as much as what you do on your adventure.

Summer Activities in Jackson Hole That Demand Extra Hydration


1. Hiking Grand Teton National Park:

Whether you're tackling Jenny Lake, Death Canyon, or the Teton Crest Trail, altitude and sun exposure amplify dehydration.Tip: Drink ½ to 1 liter of water per hour. Pre-hydrate the night before and consider an IV drip for rapid recovery post-hike.


2. Snake River Adventures: Rafting, Fishing & Kayaking:

Being on the water doesn’t mean you’re hydrated. Rafting Snake River Canyon or fly fishing Jackson Lake? You’re still sweating and losing electrolytes—especially in dry heat and wind.Pro tip: Book a mobile IV hydration treatment after your float or fishing trip to replenish quickly.


3. Snow King & Teton Village: Summer Sports & Elevation Recovery

Mountain biking, zip-lining, and gondola rides are thrilling—but take a toll on your hydration levels. Whether you’re riding at Snow King or climbing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, make time to replenish with fluids and consider a custom IV with vitamins + electrolytes.


4. Horseback Riding & Wildlife Safaris

Exploring the National Elk Refuge or heading out on horseback through Teton ranchland? Even low-impact outdoor activities in the sun dehydrate your body.A recovery or immunity IV post-adventure can help you bounce back faster.


Water Is Good—But Electrolytes Are Better

Plain water is essential, but it’s not always enough—especially at elevation. Your body loses minerals through sweat that need to be replaced for optimal recovery.

Smart hydration = water + electrolytes + time

  • Add salt, potassium, or magnesium

  • Rehydrate before you’re thirsty

  • Eat salty snacks during activity

  • Use IV hydration for rapid post-activity replenishment
