Itinerary
The majestic, awe-inspiring Teton Mountain Range of the Rockies is the western edge of Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. With no foothills before them, these rugged 11,000-13,000+ peaks rise straight up from the Jackson Hole valley below.
This historic area features the iconic Moulton barns and other original structures built by several Mormon homesteaders in the early 1900s.
This bend in the Snake River is the definition of serenity, featuring a stunning view and reflection of Mt. Moran of the Teton Mountain Range in the still water. We often see white pelicans, trumpeter swans, blue herons and occasionally beaver, fox and grizzly bears.
Fed by the Snake River from the north, this magnificent lake rests at the base of the Tetons and is a recreational haven for boaters, fishermen, paddlers and campers.
Named after a Shoshone Indian woman, this glacial moraine jewel at the base of the Tetons is absolutely gorgeous and a must-see!
Beautiful wildlife habitat along a creek.
We will drive along the Gros Ventre Road with the mountains in the background looking for moose, pronghorn, bison and other wildlife.

What a phenomenal tour! Katie was our main guide, but we also had Elisha and Kirby along for the ride. They were all so engaging, knowledgeable, and welcoming of any and all questions! Plus there were only 5 people in the air conditioned bus. They gave us some great tips about the area as well. 20/10 would book again!
The scenery was spectacular and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her personality was so perfect for our trip, it was like a confident friend, always with an eye to make the trip perfect.
Ben was an excellent guide. We found an abundance of wildlife and learned some history of Teton national park Took a lot of great photos
ThIs was just a wonderful experience. Our guide Rafael Sandoval was so knowledgeable about the Ecosystem and the stories of the park. He also told great Dad jokes :) He was on a mission to have our group of 6 find as much wildlife as possible and we were able to see pronghorns, moose, elk, bison and bears. Rafe also took videos through the spotting scope that he shared with us at the end of the trip. The vehicle was comfortable and clean, being able to pop open the top was great for viewing also. Lastly the complimentary water bottles and snacks were an added bonus. Highly recommend.
Katie was an excellent guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. It was great fun. We saw quite a few different animals.
Our guide did a fab job of finding the animals we wanted to see while giving us lots of info on the park and area. Finally got to see a moose (well, his head at least!). The lunch bag was very good as well.
Sierra was a wonderful tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and sweet! We saw a grisly bear with two babies and some bison. It was a lovely, exciting and relaxing experience all rolled into one. I highly recommend!
This is a tough review to write but we felt it was important to inform others considering it cost four figures for our group. Our host was very friendly and she is the only reason I hesitated to write this. I hope the facilitators of this excursion will adjust how it is advertised because they absolutely set her up for failure. We chose this excursion as it was advertised to focus on finding animals at sunset. Of course we understand there’s no guarantee of seeing a single animal but there wasn’t even an effort made. It was clear from the start this tour was more focused on different landmarks. While that’s nice, it’s not how this was advertised. Everyone in our bus was disappointed and felt mislead. At the end of the day, we got to stop for maybe 5-10 mins for a group of bison very far off the road but were told we couldn’t stay long. We asked our host if she expected to see animals and it was clear she had no expectation of any animals other than possibly the bison. When we’ve been on other animal excursions the host has scoped out places the animals had been seen recently or typically hang around. Given how every other photograph of this excursion included animals and the first bullet point of the description is about animals, all guests had expected something similar. I feel this is extremely misleading. Again, I don’t feel it was the hosts fault, she was lovely, personable and had some fun stories. We went driving through the park ourselves the next day and had a better time and even saw more animals!
Sierra did a great job! She was very knowledgeable and made sure we had an enjoyable time and great Teton experience. Would recommend!
The tour provided an excellent overview of the Tetons and Jackson Hold from perspectives of the geology, wildlife, and history. Sierra was an excellent tour guide/driver who had tons of info to share in a very pleasant manner. The stops we made for picture taking were perfect. She was very capable of getting us several wildlife viewings and enhanced the experience with her stories. She had excellent rapport with all of us on her tour. Superb way to start our adventure in Jackson Hole!
