AIRLINE TO/FROM JACKSON HOLE AIRPORT
Round trip air fare from Nashville to Jackson Hole is around $600. If booked early, flights are available for $560 RT! (see Bestfares.com). Plan to arrive on Friday 9/5/14 and depart 9/14/14. We will transport your bicycle by van to avoid the high cost and inconvenience of trying to get an airline to accept it.

The van(s) will bring the bicycles and special gear. All will share the fuel costs of the vans. Those traveling by van will responsible for their own meals/lodging in route.
Route is via I-80W for 1638 miles and will take 25 hrs 30 mins. The fuel cost is estimated at $250 one way.
If you are doing the Trans American Trail Ride, (CANCELED) please see that page for instruction on how to get your bike and gear back from the end of the ride.
