A nice drive up to the summit opposite the Teton mountain range... Road was brand new as of June, 2013.... Nice views across Jackson Lake, and excellent views looking east.... The downside during our visit were the skeeters----bring DEET!

Well worth the twisting, looping road. The two viewing areas at the top are fantastic! Just be sure to follow the signs for no oversized vehicles. There is no room at the top to turn around.

Well worth it, the two viewing areas at the top are amazing. There is a sign at the bottom prohibiting campers, RVs and similar oversize vehicles - folks there is a reason for this! There is no room at the top to park or turnaround these vehicles to come back down. I watched someone violate this and more or less... More

This was a nice gentle roadway to a great view of then entire Jackson Hole valley. We encountered several bikes heading to the top. The overlook at the top gives a nice overview of the Snake River and entire valley

From the top of Signal Mountain Summit you have beautiful views of the Teton Range and the sunset. Furthermore we spotted a lot of animals on our way down (just after sunset). Apart from going to the top by car we also walked the trail. Both worth it!

We drove up the mountain around 7 p.m. Beautiful views at the top. It is worth walking part of the trail to see more views. In the parking lot we were treated to a show by a sage grouse. He strutted, fanned his tail and made his drumming noise for us. At that time of year there were not many... More

We stayed in Jackson for a week and drove passed the Tetons every day on the way to Yellowstone. All the scenery was magnificent. Here is how I rated the areas we got to see with brief details on each. 1 Grand Tetons – viewed from anywhere in the park. 2 Signal Mountain Summit – Not to be missed, I... More

Some scary hairpin turns towards the top, but mostly a slow scenic road that leads you to a scenic overlook of the Gros Ventre mountains and the Hole that is Jackson's! Good place to go to watch 4th of July fireworks in the distance.
