A tiny waffle cabin at the top of the tram — simple food, unforgettable setting, and one of the most unique (and highest elevation) dining experiences in the country.
Why It Belongs on the List
A tiny waffle cabin at the top of the Jackson Hole Aerial Tram — accessible only by riding to the summit. The setting is the point: 10,000+ feet, panoramic Teton views, and simple waffles with huckleberry jam that feel earned after the ride (or a ski run). Corbet's Cabin is one of the most specific culinary experiences in American travel — a small wooden structure at the summit of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's Rendezvous Mountain, accessible only by the 12-minute Aerial Tram ride from Teton Village, where the single menu item is a large waffle served with huckleberry jam, whipped cream, and an optional egg, consumed at 10,450 feet with an unobstructed view of the Teton Range, Idaho, and on clear days a landscape that extends 50 miles in multiple directions. In winter, the cabin serves skiers at the top of the tram who are about to drop into the resort's most challenging terrain; in summer, it serves hikers and tram riders who have just ascended through the timberline to the alpine summit. The waffles are notably excellent — made fresh to order, with proper waffle iron caramelization — but the setting is the irreplaceable component. This is the most recommended 'single experience' in Jackson Hole.
What Stands Out
- Most uniquely positioned restaurant in North America — a waffle cabin at 10,450 feet summit
- Top of the World Waffles with huckleberry jam: simple, excellent, and irreplaceable in their context
- 12-minute Aerial Tram ride access only — the experience begins before the food arrives
- 50-mile views in clear conditions: the Teton Range, Idaho, and the full Snake River Valley
- The most recommended single experience in Jackson Hole — skip nothing else to do this
