Testimonials

  • I have done two guided climbs (Montana and WY highpoints) with Kenny Gasch; I knew I was well cared for and kept safe in every way. The guides were fun and at the same time they really did a great job keeping us safe and informed. I would climb with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides anytime and plan to come back for a climb of the Grand Teton

    — Rory Woodmansee
  • Kenny was the best outdoor adventure guide we’ve ever had. He explained everything thoroughly and stressed safety throughout. He’s courteous, sincere, and flexible. An overall tremendous experience.

  • I just wanted to thank you for setting us up with such unbelievable guides.  They were absolutely solid, professional and fun to be around.  We couldn’t have had better, nor better results.  That climb of the Grand is something I’ll never forget.  I will be back to climb Mt. Moran next.
