In June, hiking and biking are awesome.
Here's a site with some hiking trails in the region.
Hiking Trails Around Swan Valley Idaho
I highly recommend table mountain for views of west face of the Tetons.
A summer lift ride up at Grand Targhee resort near Driggs would be awesome too, but I've never done it. Just winter for me. Grand Targhee Resort
You are just over Jackson Pass from Jackson Hole for shopping and tourist stuff and Grand Teton national Park.
I seems to recall a great little steakhouse in Victor, but I can't remember the name.

If you like Mexican food there is a good restaurant in Driggs called Guadelajara. As far as web sites with places to go in the area, check out Share and Find GPS Coordinates of Backcountry Hot Spots
(Sorry I can't get that to show up as a link and it keeps changing the title on me)

Mapper,
Cool site, I can think of many more sites to add there, but I'm not sure if I want to tell too many people about some of them... Maybe this summer I'll find some time.
Thanks for posting that link, now I've got a few more places to explore.

I know what you mean. It's kind of like when your mom told you to share the brownies as a child. You didn't really want to, but you still did it anyways. Of course you always ate the biggest and best ones yourself!
I don't share my best spots, but I'm willing to share the ones that almost everyone in the local community knows about anyways. That way people passing through have the opportunity to enjoy my part of the world.

Mapper, you can always send me the really good ones to my private message box. I won't share.

Do you remember the commercial of the eskimo with the potato chip? There were two eskimos. One had a potato chip bag and the other asked him for a potato chip. The one with the bag says, "If I share with you, I have to share with EVERYONE else." as he looked around the frozen tundra of the arctic with not a soul in site.

Things to do in Victor
There is a small restaurant in Victor that is GOOD EATS! It's south of town and the only one there. I forgot the name.
Also, YOU MUST GO INTO JACKSON AND RIDE THE LANDSLIDE! Talk about fun! Look it up on the internet. It's more fun than it looks!
Glacier National Park is a must if you're that close! Be sure to hike the Tetons too.
Riding the Gondolas. It's such a beautiful ride with great views when you get to the top!
We were just there last September and had a blast.

Restaurants in Victor
I noticed the person asking this question did so last year or the year before, well , anyway, I am sooooo excited to have the Teton Thai place there. Awesome, I have eaten there on a recent visit while trying to find housing there for our move in a few days. How awesome to have a really nice little Thai place in this small but very eclectic community. Rivermom.
