Jackson Hole's Best Winter Wildlife Experience!

Duration

8 Hours

About

Head out into the winter wonderland of Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, and the National Elk Refuge on a one of a kind winter wildlife tour with EcoTour Adventures. We'll spend the morning uncovering the valley's wildlife hotspots before enjoying a visit to the National Museum of Wildlife Art, and a sleigh ride through wild elk herds on the National Elk Refuge. EcoTour Guides focus their attention to the needs of the group and are driven by the desire to inspire each and every guest. Let us create an experience to last a lifetime by turning you on to this stunning natural environment and all the winter wonders that make it fascinating.

The Day We’ll get an early start from the town of Jackson to experience the best wildlife viewing hours of the day. From the comfort of our 4x4 vehicle, use our high quality spotting scopes or binoculars to catch a glimpse of a moose and her calf as they greet the day, or photograph a bighorn sheep as it scales the snowy cliffs and craggy areas of Miller Butte. Your experienced and professional EcoTour guide will lead you on an educational tour through the dramatic natural environment of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, teaching you interesting tidbits on winter ecology, animal adaptations to a harsh Wyoming winter, and snow science.

After you enjoy the morning viewing wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, we’ll visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art, an architectural feat inspired by the ruins of Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. We will wander through the Museum’s 51,000 square feet of award winning collections from the 19th and 20th centuries as you guide helps you explore the fantastic works of art. Enjoy lunch with a view at Palate, the museums restaurant, which overlooks the Elk Refuge. Our day concludes with a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge for an up close view and educational tour of a wintering elk herd that numbers in the thousands.
