From Teton Village near Jackson Hole, hop in a customized open-air vehicle (weather dependent), for a journey out on the rugged terrain of Grand Teton National Park. From the comfortable seat of your open-air vehicle, gaze up at the craggy summit of Grand Teton—the tallest mountain in the park—all the while feeling the wind in your hair as you journey out towards the woods. In the fall and winter, when the temperature drops, tours take place in a safari-style vehicle that’s enclosed for comfort and warmth, and these small group tours have only nine passengers in summer, and 10 passengers in winter.
During this Grand Teton wildlife tour, scour a part of the 310,000 acres that comprise the national park. Scan the landscape for the 60 species of mammals that live in the park, and keep an eye out overhead for over 300 species of birds. With binoculars provided by your local guide, try to spot elk, bears, bison, mule deer, moose, or wolves, and keep a lookout for ospreys, owls, hawks, and soaring bald eagles. You might even have a chance at seeing black and grizzly bears.
Aside from the wealth of wildlife, you also experience the Snake River scenery as backed by the jagged mountains, and your guide will explain the geology and ecology before returning to Teton Village.
Note: Summer tours run from June 15 to August 31, and fall/winter tours are September 1 to June 14. Hotel pickup in the Jackson Hole area is available upon request.

What an incredible experience we had with Haley as our guide! Big Horn Sheep, Elk, and Moose were plentiful! She also was incredibly knowledgeable in the history of the area and was a superb storyteller! I took my team on this tour and they raved about it the rest of the time we were in Jackson Hole. This was the perfect tour to take after a busy day of business and was the perfect set up for great discussions over dinner. I highly suggest this tour, especially if you can get Haley as a guide!

The guide was knowledgeable and kind, however, she spent most of her time talking to some guy in the front because he wouldn’t stop talking and I guess she didn’t want to be rude. I was expecting to learn more from this tour and I didn’t because of chatty at the front. Also, the places we went to were all places we had visited on our own (the day before)
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for your valuable feedback and we will be sure to pass that information on your the guide!
In regards to seeing parts of the park you saw the day before, we always recommend to all guests to do their tour first and then use that information they've gained from the tour to go back out on the park with their tour knowledge that way they can take advantage of the tour they've taken. Always do your tour first on any vacation you ever find yourself on.
