Grand Teton and Native American Petroglyph Day Tour from Jackson Hole

The day begins before dawn when the Tetons silhouette like a serrated spine against a pale sky and the first light slides down the range, turning talus and snowfields into hard-edged relief. You leave Jackson Hole in a small minivan—no more than ten people—and the valley opens as the driver threads the highway. The Snake River runs below, impatient and silver, daring you to slow down and watch. Within an hour the landscape has shifted from lodgepole pine and sagebrush to the broad, wind-swept floor of the Wind River Valley and, eventually, the quieter high desert that leads to Dubois.
