The Wedding Tree in Jackson Hole Wyoming is an amazing place to get married or elope if you’re are wanting a beautiful view of the Tetons in the background.
Wedding Tree Location – https://goo.gl/maps/91LG5kXw4GCmGMuR6
Driving from Jackson Hole it takes about 30 minutes to get to the Wedding Tree. From there it’s about a small 5min hike that’s about 600ft.
Here is some information off the USDA site – https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/btnf/passes-permits/?cid=fseprd612351
The Wedding Tree is located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in the Jackson Ranger District within the Gros Ventre River drainage. The tree is located a short 5-minute walk toward the Tetons from the small parking lot and provides a spectacular view of the Teton Range.
The parking lot is located off of Gros Ventre Road, past the Gros Ventre River Ranch, and before reaching Lower Slide Lake, on the right-hand side. Follow the trail from the parking lot, heading back the way you came, for about 5 minutes to reach the Wedding Tree.
Dispersed camping is not allowed in this area as of October 2018 and depending on the fire danger rating, campfires may be allowed.
While there is no address for this location, the Wedding Tree is located about five miles east of Kelly on the Gros Ventre Rd. It is easy to miss, but as you head upstream along the Gros Ventre Road, there is a pull-off on the right-hand side that can accommodate 5-7 cars.
The Jackson Ranger District keeps a calendar for who is planning to use the tree and who has the permit. Anyone wanting to use the Wedding Tree must know what the rules are – no amplification, no confetti or rice or birdseed throwing, no decorations, etc. The Forest Service allows the permit holder to use a commercial photographer, but no other commercial services. No tent rentals and no commercial catering services are permitted. The area isn’t closed off exclusively for your event. Other visitors may be in the area. No signs are permitted. You can have port-a-potties delivered for your use during the event and you can arrange for shuttling of your guests since the parking area is so small.
There are no services or stores on the Forest up the Gros Ventre Road, so if you do go out to this area of the Forest, be prepared with a full tank of gas, water, food and provisions. Cellular phone service isn’t guaranteed. The road is passable, but rough in places.
A permit is required for a group 75 people or more, no fee is charged. For groups less than 75 people, no permit is required but please contact us so we can place your event on our calendar. We must visit with you about your event before issuing the permit. We must speak to the person who will hold the permit – not the wedding planner. Please call us at 307-739-5526 or email us at sm.fs.jdpaperwork@usda.gov Click here for additional permit information.
