Highlights
  • National Elk Refuge - The 24,700+ acre National Elk Refuge safeguards a vital habitat for many iconic species, such as elk, bison, wolves, trumpeter swans, bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and cutthroat trout. It is an excellent spot for wildlife observation, photography, and educational experiences.
  • Teton Point Turnout - The Elk Ranch Flats Turnout, once a cattle ranch, now offers frequent sightings of bison and elk grazing on the grasslands.
  • Grand Teton National Park - Winter in Grand Teton National Park is enchanting. You will spend your time admiring the grandeur of the Teton Mountain Range while looking for moose, bison, coyotes, red foxes, and wolves, and learning about the area’s geological and cultural history.
  • Snake River Overlook - Visit the site where Ansel Adams captured his famous photograph of the winding Snake River and the towering peaks of the Teton Mountain Range.
  • Mormon Row Historic District - Once known as the town of Grovont, the Mormon Row Historic District is among the most photographed spots in Grand Teton National Park.
  • Kelly - Established by William Kelly in 1907, the town was almost chosen as the county seat for Teton County in 1925. That same year, a massive landslide dammed the Gros Ventre River, creating Lower Slide Lake. Two years later, the natural dam broke, flooding the town and resulting in six fatalities.

Additional Information

Sunrise is an amazing time to see wildlife and photograph scenic vistas of the Tetons under a blanket of snow. You will spend the morning searching for moose, bighorn sheep, bison, and wolves, all while the rising sun washes the Tetons in the early morning alpenglow.

We design our tours to help you experience the most iconic wildlife, scenic places, and cultural attractions from the comfort and safety of one of our four-wheel-drive Chevy Suburbans or high-roofed Ford Transit Vans.

As you venture through the Refuge and the National Park, along the eastern front of Tetons, the so-called mountains of the imagination, your guide will take you to the most picture-perfect spots to view the Range’s major peaks, including The Grand, Mt. St. John, and Mt. Moran, as well as explain how earthquakes, glaciers, oceans, and volcanoes have sculpted the Range.

Seasonal wildlife may include bald eagles, bighorn sheep, bison, coyotes, elk, moose, red tail foxes, trumpeter swans, and wolves.

Would happily recommend - Everything about the experience was great! We had Stace and he was a blast. Knows the area very well, good sense of humor, and easy to talk to. He has a great eye for spotting wildlife and has interesting history and contemporary stories about many of the sites we saw. We had the 4x4 van from the description and it is awesome. Huge windows and very comfortable.
