Hiking
Sightseeing Tour

You pull away from downtown Jackson as the valley is still cool and the Teton Range glares into the clear air—an honest, uncompromising wall of granite that seems to push the sky back. The van follows the Snake River as it carves a course past beaver ponds and sagebrush; your guide drops a nearly silent anchor at a bend where a herd of elk grazes and the mountains fold into the water like a mirror. This is a day designed to move slowly enough to notice details—slick river stones, the musk of moose, the historic lines of weather-worn barns—and fast enough to cover the park’s dramatic highlights.

Adventure Tips

Bring binoculars

Binoculars unlock distant wildlife and far-off mountain details—essential for moose and birdwatching at Oxbow Bend.

Layer for temperature swings

Daytime in the valley can be warm but mornings and summits are cold—pack a windproof midlayer.

Footwear with tread

Trails vary from boardwalks to rocky scrambles—sturdy hiking shoes reduce slip risk.

Respect wildlife distances

Keep at least 100 yards from bears and 25 yards from other large mammals; your guide will enforce safe viewing.

History
