Itinerary
We will stop at the iconic Grand Teton Park Sign for a group photo
Mormon Row is a historic district located in Grand Teton National Park and is a popular destination for visitors to see and photograph the iconic Moulton barns. The area is named after the Mormon settlers who established homesteads there in the late 19th century. The district is a significant example of early homesteading and the Mormon influence on the region's settlement and irrigation systems.
Across the valley, the Teton Range rises abruptly from the valley with no foothills to obscure your view. Glaciers lie sheltered on the northeastern flanks of the highest peaks including the Middle Teton and Teton glaciers. Climate change is causing these glaciers to retreat. Smaller glaciers are retreating more rapidly than larger glaciers. Along the valley floor, conifer and cottonwood trees line the Snake River as it cuts through the sagebrush flats.
Schwabacher’s Landing is a spot on the Snake River, almost exactly east of Grand Teton, where the terrain flattens out and allows easy access to the river. There is a dirt road coming off the main highway and down to various trailheads. This is a launch site on the River for anglers and river rafters and is one of America’s most spectacular viewpoints.
The entrance to the National Park. Park passes will be purchased here
While there are countless breathtaking views of the Teton Range throughout the park, Oxbow Bend is one of the most iconic. A channel of the Snake River "bends" towards the turnout with the water often reflecting the towering Mount Moran in the background. Year-round, this location provides stunning views of scenery AND wildlife. Trumpeter swans, otters, beavers, and bears are some of the animals occasionally seen from this turnout.
Willow Flats in Grand Teton National Park offers both beautiful scenery and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for those interested in seeing moose, elk, and various bird species. The area is characterized by willows and wet meadows that provide habitat for these animals, and the view of the Teton Range across Jackson Lake is stunning.
Concrete dam completed in 1916, with panoramic views of Jackson Lake & the Grand Teton mountains.
Jenny Lake is one of the most visited areas in Grand Teton National Park. Tucked away at the base of the Teton Range, the lake is a centerpiece of the park. From the east shore, visitors have views of Teewinot Mountain, Mount St. John, and into Cascade Canyon. From the west shore, visitors can look back across the lake towards the valley of Jackson Hole. There is also an optional ferry ride which can be purchased if groups would like this experience. Hikes around this area are also an option
Rustic 1925 log chapel with a well-known view of the Tetons' tallest peaks through its altar window.
Grand Teton information hub offering natural history exhibits, a video, maps & a book & gift shop.
Weather and time permitting, we will drive the iconic Moose-Wilson Road. Opportunities for wildlife viewing, and entry to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve (LSRP). The route was originally created by homesteaders who settled the area before it became a national park.

Thoroughly enjoyed our VIP tour with Elijah. He did an excellent job making sure we saw everything we were interested in and added a few of his favorites. Very knowledgeable about the area.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour with Elijah. He loves creating personalized experiences and sharing his favorite spots. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to see you again!
Elijah from Casenova tours met us at Flagg Ranch, which was very handy and very convenient for us. He was very intent on making sure we got the experience that we wanted when visiting the Tetons. He was fun, engaging, informative, and would recommend him to anyone. Very honest in telling us if he didn't know something or the answer to our questions, but also very willing to learn for future tours. He and my son had a lot in common which made the connection an amazing experience for him especially, and by the end of our tour we had basically adopted him as one of the family. I highly recommend private tours when visiting, you can really enjoy the experience without the worry.
Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad Elijah was able to create a memorable experience for your family. His passion for connecting with guests and tailoring each tour is what makes him such a great guide. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you back in the Tetons again soon!
We had an amazing time on our Grand Teton National Park tour! Our guide was from our home state, which made the experience feel even more personal and enjoyable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the park, wildlife, and local history, and he shared information in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand. Beyond his expertise, he was professional, friendly, and super easy to get along with throughout the day. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we had a memorable experience from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, and having such a great guide made the trip even better. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Grand Teton National Park. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

When we booked this VIP Tour of Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) we were looking for something special and unique and Elijah of Yellowstone's Casanova Guided Tours delivered just that! We had one day to discover new characteristics beyond the breathtaking natural beauty of this spectacular National Park, and Elijah was able to take us on some of the "roads less traveled" to show us some individual aspects that ultimately formed the foundation of this wondrous locale. Elijah's explanation of how "community" became the focus of different cultures working together for a single purpose was particularly informative. A single day tour of Grand Teton National Park is quite challenging due to the predominantly north-south layout of the park, with just a few primary roads and many visitors. However, Elijah's in-depth knowledge of GTNP secondary roads allowed us to visit many more sights that if we had tried to tour the park on our own. When we asked to see the very popular Jenny Lake, Elijah provided valet service, so to speak, dropping our family off at the main entrance and then picking us up once we were finished touring the Jenny Lake area. This saved us easily 60-90 minutes, as we did not have to look for parking nor did we have to hike to Jenny Lake from and to what would have been a remote parking space. Elijah also showed us other GTNP locations including, but not limited to, the iconic Mormon Row, the innovative Menor's Ferry, the inspirational Chapel of the Transfiguration, culminating with an absolutely beautiful panoramic view from the summit of SIgnal Mountain. Elijah was well versed in many of GTNP's lesser known important details which also added to our experience. Our family group ranged in age from 10 years old to 72 years old and Elijah was extremely comfortable dealing with us individually, and as a group. In a very personable manner, Elijah took an interest in each of us, so that he could present GTNP's history and details that we would find interesting. We highly recommend Yellowstone's Casanova Guided Tours, and encourage other visitors to seek out the service of our outstanding guide, Elijah! Thanks again so much - we had a fantastic time!!
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled Elijah was able to help your family experience both the iconic highlights and hidden gems of Grand Teton National Park. His passion for sharing the park’s history, culture, and unique locations truly shines through. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. Thank you for choosing Yellowstone’s Casanova Guided Tours, and we hope to see you again on a future adventure!

Chris was a fantastic tour guide. He tailored the tour to the things that we wanted to see and do. He was very knowledgeable of the regional highlights, and provided us with lots of interesting information about the area. We requested a hike, and we had a fantastic time. He was able to identify wildlife that we would never have seen on our own, including a mama bear with her 3 cubs. But always had our safety in mind.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear Chris created such a personalized experience for your group. From the hike to spotting a mama bear and her cubs, those are the moments that make Yellowstone so unforgettable.

We had been to the park the day before, and I was afraid I wasted money on a guided tour. I was so wrong. Mr. Chris took us to all new locations throughout the park. He knew all the hidden gems and really helped us understand about the park and its history. This tour is a must-do!!!
Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so glad Chris was able to show you a whole new side of Grand Teton National Park. There is so much more to the Tetons than what most visitors see on their own, and we love helping guests discover those hidden gems. We truly appreciate you choosing to tour with us!
We had a fantastic tour of the Tetons today with Alex and Chris! They had great enthusiasm and tremendous knowledge of the park, which made it a wonderful day.
