Spend a day surrounded by amazing Rocky Mountain landscape as your naturalist wildlife tour guide presents the unforgettable wildlife and scenery of Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge. This excursion takes you through the wintry roads of Grand Teton and shows off the park's diverse collection of scenery and wildlife as you learn the stories that lie behind the sights.

Your friendly guide meets you for the ride out from your hotel and into the protected stretch of country framed by the peaks of the Teton Range. Witness the beauty of the wide, snowy plains that stretch out to the jagged mountains. You will learn about the ancient geology that gave rise to the landscape and the human history that makes this magical location come alive.

As you make your way through the park, keep your binoculars that are provided for use on the tour handy for a chance to spot hawks or eagles swooping through the sky, moose or bighorn sheep, wolves and coyotes on the prowl, or iconic bison that stand out against the snow.
