Overview
Sunrise is an amazing time to see wildlife and photograph scenic vistas of the Tetons under a blanket of snow. You will spend the morning searching for moose, bighorn sheep, bison, and wolves, all while the rising sun washes the Tetons in the early morning alpenglow.
We design our tours to help you experience the most iconic wildlife, scenic places, and cultural attractions from the comfort and safety of one of our four-wheel-drive Chevy Suburbans or high-roofed Ford Transit Vans.
As you venture through the Refuge and the National Park, along the eastern front of Tetons, the so-called mountains of the imagination, your guide will take you to the most picture-perfect spots to view the Range's major peaks, including The Grand, Mt. St. John, and Mt. Moran, as well as explain how earthquakes, glaciers, oceans, and volcanoes have sculpted the Range.
Seasonal wildlife may include bald eagles, bighorn sheep, bison, coyotes, elk, moose, red tail foxes, trumpeter swans, and wolves.
