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.

Traveler Tips
As stated in the tour details, this is a open air truck, so expect to be dirty at the end of the night.
Well worth the early morning, the time and the cost.
Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to arrive at the meeting place because we were held up in traffic due to a moose crossing.

What a great time my grandson and I had on this tour. From our guide Patrick, who was a wealth of knowledge, fun and was very focused on finding the animals we were really wanting to see, to the group of ladies that were on the tour with us, to all the animals and beautiful scenery. It was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Patrick for such a great tour.
