Make the most of your day here in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. Spend a full day observing wildlife, photographing, and exploring this fabulous eco-system. This tour will start around sunrise to maximize wildlife sightings. Your educated naturalist guide will bring you to the wildlife hotspots, which are often off the beaten path on unmarked dirt roads in our comfortable 4wheel drive vehicles. Plan on uninterrupted wildlife observation followed by a wealth of information provided by our knowledgeable guides that have a passion for what they do here in Jackson Hole.
Between wildlife sightings we will break up the day with lunch at one of the park’s lodges. We will enjoy the outdoor seating overlooking Jackson Lake at the Signal Mountain Lodge or enjoy the roof top seating at Dornans overlooking the Snake River with the magnificent Teton Mountain Range in the background. Lunch is included with this tour option.
For the remainder of the day we will continue to explore the natural landscape of the park and embark on short hikes on some of the lesser known trails through easy terrain to observe the smaller wonders of this special place. Animals that abound here and that have been observed during many of our guided ecotours in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National park include moose, elk, bison, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, bald eagles, and trumpeter swans just to name a few.
