Family Friendly Starts right at the base are of Grand Targhee Resort and has a mellow grade all the way out to the junction of Andy's and Buffalo Soldier on Lightning Ridge.

Description

Action Jackson is a longer and more scenic option to access the Peaked Mountain trails as opposed to Andy's. There will be some moderate but steady climbing as you work you way along a series of ridges. Once at the top, you'll have an array of trails to choose from.

This trail can be ridden in either direction.
