About This Adventure
Summer & Fall Wildlife Sunrise Safari
About
Sunrise in Grand Teton National Park is a spectacular sight. The light and color in the valley is perfect for photography and the animals are most active at dawn and dusk, taking advantage of the cooler temperatures. Our 4-5 hour wildlife safari will get you into the park at the perfect time to witness the wildlife waking up and the sunshine hitting the Tetons. We will begin the day with a stop at our favorite local coffee roaster for freshly roasted coffee and pastries. We will then head out in search of animals in Jackson, The National Elk Refuge, and Grand Teton National Park. Throughout these areas we can see many animals including grizzly bear, black bear, elk, bison, moose, wolves, big horn sheep, mule deer, coyote, trumpeter swan, and golden and bald eagles
