Drone Rules - Bridger-Teton NF, Wyoming

Four Wilderness Areas (Bridger, Teton, Gros Ventre, Jedediah Smith) ban drones; Grand Teton NP zero-tolerance no-fly begins at the NPS boundary.

Airspace / Site Context

  • 3.4 million acres; the Bridger Wilderness alone covers 428,000 acres of Wind River Range lakes and peaks
  • Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) sits inside Grand Teton NP (Class D) -- the only commercial airport inside a national park; B4UFLY critical
  • Forest/NPS boundary near Teton Village and Moose Village is frequently misidentified by visiting pilots

Key Rules

  • JAC Class D surface area extends beyond the NPS boundary; check LAANC for Jackson Hole area
  • Wilderness boundary in Gros Ventre follows ridgelines -- download digital parcel layer
  • USFS Special Use Permit required for commercial work; NPS permit required once you cross into GTNP
